Sturridge began as a child actor, debuting at ten in Gulliver's Travels (1996), directed by his father. He re-emerged in 2004 with Being Julia (Meryl Streep) and Vanity Fair, then gained wider recognition as Carl in The Boat That Rocked (2009) (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy). On stage, he won the Critics' Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Newcomer for Punk Rock (2009), earned Tony nominations for Orphans (2013) and Sea Wall/A Life (2019), and starred in the 2017 Broadway production of 1984.
