Special cast officially announced
BritBox announces Rainsford in the Christmas-special cast. His United Agents profile identifies his role as Charlie Hinchliffe and documents his professional credits.
George Rainsford is a British stage and screen actor whose United Agents credit record spans National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company productions, independent theatre, film and television. He trained at LAMDA. His most sustained screen role in the agency record is Ethan Hardy in the BBC medical drama Casualty; the same character appears in Holby City.
This is a professional biography based on published credits, not a claim to a complete chronology. Birth details, family information and current residence are omitted because they are not needed to understand the work and are not established by the cited professional source.
Selected work
Stage, television and film
United Agents lists Rainsford as Mike Webster in the National Theatre’s Dear England, Bertram in All’s Well That Ends Well at the National Theatre, Sam on the UK tour of 2:22 A Ghost Story, and DSI Roy Grace in stage productions of Picture You Dead and Wish You Were Dead. The same record includes Love Love Love at the Royal Court and Days of Significance on an RSC tour.
His listed television work includes Casualty, Holby City, Call the Midwife, Father Brown, Law & Order: UK, Waking the Dead and Doctors. Listed films include Bank of Dave 2, The Monkey’s Paw and Wild Target. These are selected credits rather than a complete filmography.

Record
2026 Christmas special
BritBox’s 2 September 2026 announcement names Rainsford in the special’s guest cast without naming his character. His agency television credits supply Charlie Hinchliffe and director Chris Foggin. The character spelling and final on-screen credit should be checked when the special airs.
Artwork and photographs
Name card
The header uses a typographic name card where a licensed portrait is not available. Photographs require a suitable licence and a visible credit.
Skills
Specialist details not inferred
Stage and screen credits establish professional acting experience but do not verify current accents, languages, movement, musical or other casting skills. Those details remain unlisted until a current authorised CV supplies them.
Training
LAMDA
Rainsford’s United Agents biography states that he trained at LAMDA. It does not provide a course title or graduation year, so neither is inferred here.
Awards and recognition
Ian Charleson commendation
His agency biography records an Ian Charleson Commendation for his performance as Bertram in All’s Well That Ends Well at the National Theatre. The agency does not state the award year on this page; the Casebook does not assign one without a separate award record.
Representation

United Agents currently lists Rainsford with agent Jess Alford and provides a contact route on its own site. For bookings or permissions, use that official profile rather than an unverified personal address. Agency arrangements may change, so check the current listing before contacting.
