Kylo Freeman is a British theatre and screen actor, producer, dancer, and entrepreneur based in New York City. Kylo identifies as trans non-binary and uses they/them and he/him pronouns.
Born in Liverpool, UK, they initially pursued a career in finance after studying maths at university. Moving to London shortly afterward, Kylo quickly realised a desire to 'colour outside of lines', leading them into acting and eventually to New York, where, between jobs, they felt the pull of the start-up world. Kylo's first venture, Boycott Entertainment, was a production company and platform for underrepresented folks behind the camera, including writers, directors, and cinematographers. Kylo's fearless approach to business is the root of their enterprise For Them, a wellness brand established in 2020 that focuses on issues facing the queer community.
Kylo trained at The Stella Adler Acting Studio in New York City, with Ron Burrus (On Camera Technique), Patrick Quagliano (Adler Technique) and Elizabeth Shepherd (Shakespeare) to name a few. They are best known for their roles in the television series The Blacklist (2022), Inventing Anna (2022), New Amsterdam (2021–2022), and The Night Agent (2025).
Kylo is also a classically trained dancer and in addition has studied with several sought-after Movement Coaches (including Bill Bowers and Carine Montbertrand), studying Viewpoints, Clowning, Mime, Laban Movement Analysis, Physical Storytelling, and Commedia dell'arte.
