A Guide to Hero Fiennes Tiffin’s Famous Family: All About His Uncles, Parents & More

Young Sherlock marks the second time Hero Fiennes Tiffin has acted alongside one of his relatives. The 28-year-old landed his first big screen role in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, playing the younger version of uncle Ralph Fiennes‘ Voldemort. Now, in Guy Ritchie‘s new series, uncle Joseph Fiennes appears as his onscreen father.

Hero acknowledges the role his last name has played in his career. “I don’t feel any sense of it getting my back up,” he told Tatler just ahead of Young Sherlock‘s debut. “I think it’s so fair. I would never be an actor if it wasn’t for my family being in the industry, and I’m extremely lucky that they were, and nepotism is the appropriate word for why I do what I do.”
