The star of Top Boy has eight children of his own — watching every parent’s worst nightmare play out in Netflix’s hit new show Adolescence is like a horror story, he says
Ashley Walters stars in the Netflix crime drama "Adolescence," where he plays a detective and father figure. He was drawn to the role because of its exploration of fatherhood and the devastating effects of the criminal justice system on young people. Walters sees "Adolescence" as a reflection of themes of crime, punishment, and redemption he often explores in his work, and its relevance to contemporary issues like male insecurity, social media alienation, and knife violence.
