In 2022, Bower featured as Henry Creel / Vecna in the fourth season of the Netflix series Stranger Things, for which he received critical acclaim.In the 2010s, Bower was part of the main casts of the fantasy series Camelot on Starz and Will on TNT.

His mother is a music manager and his father works for the Gibson Guitar Corporation. His maternal great-great-great-great-grandfather was Sir John Campbell, of Airds, Lieutenant Governor of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.Bower has had an interest in music and performance from a young age. He started playing the violin as a child, and was taught using the Suzuki method. He attended Bedales School, a co-educational independent school in Hampshire, and is a former member of the National Youth Music Theatre and the National Youth Theatre. Career Acting career Bower began his professional career when his friend Laura Michelle Kelly recommended him to her agent. In 2007, he co-starred as Anthony Hope in Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In 2008, he played Rocker in the film RocknRolla and Jack in Winter in Wartime.

As such, he is one of only two actors to appear in both the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises.

He played King Arthur in the 2011 television series Camelot. In 2010, he starred in the music video for Young (Belane) by The Xcerts.

He played the role of the poet, gay atheist and spy Christopher Marlowe who was jealous of Shakespeare. Christopher Marlowe is preoccupied with death, the supernatural and the occult. Bower explained that the series delves into Marlowe's life and refers him as a naughty boy.In January 2019, Bower was announced as a star in the prelude series to Game of Thrones, titled Bloodmoon (also known as The Long Night), but HBO announced it had decided not to make the series in October 2019. He starred in the 2019 film Six Days of Sistine, distributed by Mbur Indie Film Distributor and co-starring Elarica Johnson.

In 2022, Bower starred as Henry Creel / One / Vecna in season four of the Netflix series Stranger Things. Makeup for the role took up to eight hours a day to apply. His performance in the series garnered critical acclaim. During the makeup process, Bower was also coated with lubricant to make him look glossy. Music career Originally, Bower was the lead singer of the band The Darling Buds, which never released an album and that dissolved in June 2015. Then, Bower became the frontman and singer for the band Counterfeit, which released its first album in March 2017, and had a US tour in the same year. In November 2020, Bower announced the band's split through their Instagram page. He released music as a solo artist shortly after. When Counterfeit disbanded, Bower said he felt sadness and grief. He also said that he likes writing country songs because of the structure of it. He stated: "As far back as I can remember, whenever I picked up a microphone, it was harder for me to sing wholly in a British accent than to just wail away and drop my T’s or bend notes so it almost sounds American". He also said that he would like to create a musical project inspired by the Divine Comedy, especially by the Inferno. Bower is a baritone. Musical influences During his career Bower has often talked about his musical influences. In a 2019 interview he told that some artists who influenced his career are Placebo, Deftones, Blur, Oasis and Marilyn Manson. In a 2022 interview he said that his greatest inspiration during his solo career are The Cure, especially their album Pornography, and also black metal music.

Bower is also testimonial for Saint Laurent. Personal life Bower is currently based in Los Angeles. He has a younger brother, Sam, born in 1994, who was with him in COUNTERFEIT. Bower has a mild form of dyslexia. Relationships In February 2010, Bower was confirmed to be dating actress Bonnie Wright, whom he had met on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1. In April 2011, they confirmed their engagement. On 30 June 2012, they amicably ended their engagement. From 2012 to 2018, he was in an on-off relationship with actress Lily Collins. Health Bower has several times opened up about his past struggles with alcoholism, drug abuse and mental health illnesses. In 2019 he said about the recovery: “I’m in recovery, so one of the first things that they teach you when you’re in recovery is to be super honest about what it is that you’re feeling, like guilt, shame, fear, sadness, whatever it is, the most important thing is, and it’s the hardest thing to do, is just express exactly what it is that you’re feeling.”. In the same year he published with Counterfeit the song It Gets Better about it. Then, in July 2022, he shared on Twitter that in the past he was recovere....
