Darragh Desmond Mortell is a Welsh actor, writer, and director born on 23 June 1989 in Britain. He launched his career in children's television, starring in Diddy Movies, Dani's House, Diddy TV, and most notably The Story of Tracy Beaker, before guest-leading in The Bill's final episodes and appearing in the interactive drama Dubplate Drama, DCI Banks, and Hollyoaks Later. His directorial debut, the short film Peep Dish (2015), won Best Experimental Short Film at the London Independent Film Festival, establishing him as a filmmaker. His second short, Donald Mohammed Trump, starring Asim Chaudhry and Holli Dempsey, received international recognition and screened at London's BFI Southbank. In 2020, Mortell won Best European Fiction at the Prix Europa Awards for his BBC Radio Wales / BBC Radio 4 afternoon play I am Kanye West, which examines identity, celebrity obsession, and mental health—recurring themes in his work. That same year, he served as Second Unit Director on Mark Rylance's feature film The Fantastic Flitcrofts. As an actor, he performs across television, film, and radio; as a writer-director, he develops original narratives exploring psychological and cultural themes.

He is represented by Curtis Brown, a London-based talent agency. Born under Cancer, Mortell's introspective work often probes emotional and identity-driven narratives.
