About Alfred Enoch

Alfred Lewis Enoch (born 2 December 1988) is a British actor. He is known for playing Dean Thomas in the fantasy film series Harry Potter and Wes Gibbins in the legal thriller television series How to Get Away with Murder. At first, Enoch was reluctant to audition, as he was unable to think of very many black Harry Potter characters. Enoch is a fluent speaker of English, speaks a bit of French, Portuguese, and Spanish, and graduated from the Queen's College, Oxford with a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages.
