Tom Felton made his TV debut in the 1995 series of Bugs in which he played the role of James. This was followed by his first feature film appearance in 1997's The Borrowers in which he starred alongside John Goodman. More TV roles came along including, Second Sight, a TV drama about a police officer (played by Clive Owen) who is losing his sight whilst trying to track down a murder suspect.

Tom Felton's big break came when he was cast to play Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone in 2001. Tom's character is the only son of Lucius Malfoy, and member of a "pure blood" wizarding family belonging to a wealthy, "elitist" class in the wizarding world. Draco attends Hogwarts School, and is the antagonist of main character Harry Potter. Draco finds pleasure in getting people he dislikes into any kind of trouble. He is seldom seen without his two friends, Crabbe and Goyle, who are much larger than him and function as his bodyguards.

When asked about how he feels playing a bad guy in the Harry Potter films, he said: "I think it's more fun, there are a lot of goodies in the film and not a lot of baddies, so I like to be in the baddie group." However, his role in the films could have been very different as he also revealed: "I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of Draco which has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it's really fun filming."

Away from acting Tom Felton is a talented singer. He started singing in a church choir at the age of 7 and has been a member of four choirs at school and was even offered a place in the Guildford Cathedral Choir.
