secrets.

• He's scared of horror films. Scary films make him paranoid of seeing ghosts. And he doesn't like looking in mirrors when it's night time. He hates hearing ghost stories and he can't watch scenes of people being hung. He just can't, it gives him nightmares. Yes, he's a bit of a wimp.
  
• He's a bit of a pot-head. He is in no way addicted to drugs, but he's been doing pot since he was in high school.

personality evaluated. It's possible to mistake Sterling for a shy person because he's a quiet and laidback person. Sterling's actually outgoing, friendly and talkative. He just isn't a chatterbox. Yes, sometimes he can come across as awkward but that isn't usually around friends or people he's getting to know. That's more around media or fans. The fame side of things intimidates him a little bit.

Sterling is a laidback guy. He takes things a day at a time and tries not to fret about the little things, the unimportant things. He's a thoughtful young man, he could sit around complaining or being in a miserable mood and realise that there's so many people worse off than him and he ought to be ashamed of himself.

He can come across as a moody because he is someone who is easily irritated at times. He doesn't like to be hounded and provoked. He doesn't like people pushing his buttons (who does?) and he likes his own personal space. There's only so much he can take of people being in his face. So he can be moody and irritable. But most of the time, he's someone who is easy to talk to despite his quiet demeanour.

He's a well-mannered and wells-spoken young man, who enjoys socialising and making friends. He enjoys the travelling opportunities his job brings because he gets to visit all sorts of places. He is someone who appreciates what he has around him. He doesn't take things for granted though he could easily do so. He's grown up in a very privileged environment but he doesn't think of himself as stuck up or uneducated on the life of others less fortunate. He's compassionate and thoughtful, loving and intimate. Sterling is someone who believes strongly in the phrase “it's the thought that counts” and can quite sentimental sometimes.

And he enjoys cheering people up or making them feel good about themselves, making them feel appreciated. While he's barely lived enough to have any life advice worth giving, he is always there for a friend. Even if it's just to be a pair of ears. He's a guy who gives second chances but sometimes will not always give you anymore than that. He won't be walked all over.

Sterling has a spontaneous side. Staying up late at night with friends and drawing up plans for a unexpected trip to some place. He likes an adventure. He loves randomly surprising people, decide to go somewhere in the middle of the night and roadtrip or climb over some fence into private property to play on a tyre swing or to climb up into a tree. In a way, he's a bit mischievous. But he's never been a troublemaker or a bad boy. Though his mother would agree to disagree if she found out he smoked pot.

He's quite average. He's not perfect but he's a good guy. He's not all that important but he would like to leave his mark on the world. Even if it was just a pin prick.

father. Alexander Burton is fifty five years old and a screenwriter and author.
mother. Helen Burton is fifty four years old and an author/poet.
siblings. Christopher Robin Burton is twenty eight years old and works as a carpenter. Beatrix Alice Burton is eleven years old and a student.
pets. He has three goldfish: Albert, Rufus and Pildit and he has an aging Golden Retriever named Emmeline.
other family. Rebecca Burton is twenty six years old and is a nursery nurse. She is Sterling's sister-in-law and the mother of Kerri-Anne Burton, his niece. She is pregnant with another girl.

history evaluated. Alex and Helen were both students at Oxford University and it was in the school that they met, as new students. They shared mutual friends and would often be in each other's company without knowing each other. It was when they were the only two unable to go on a night out in Blackpool that they began to get to know each other. They were best friends all throughout university and got married in the summer after they graduated in Cheltenham. The pair moved to Cambridge where they began to raise a family while working as writers, Helen had already published two books as a student and Alex, along with his writing partner, began working on screenplays.

By the time Sterling was born, the family had moved to Kensington in London, where Alex grew up. He attended the a pre-prep school in Notting Hill before transferring into prep school at the age of eight where he stayed until he was eleven and then he started high school. High school was an odd experience for Sterling. He had never been a popular guy, or an outcast. He was happily in the middle. He attended a private school, were many of the students (including him) were posh totty. While he adored acting, his first love was writing. It was inevitable really. He enjoyed being on stage very much and hoped to one day experience a much bigger stage to a bigger audience.

He didn't know what it was that he liked about acting. Which was why he was apprehensive to take it further than a hobby. He was also very put-off by the industry, the way it would twist and warp you. You saw all the time in the media, what young actor and actresses turned into. And the thought of having his privacy constantly invaded made his skin crawl. But sometimes, you just had to take that chance. He was fourteen when he got his first official acting job. He spent his entire summer filming for an eight-part special television drama. He made it clear that he wanted to stay in school, that he wouldn't take days off for filming so he didn't land anything bigger than bit-parts until he left high school at sixteen.

He often wondered if his decision to pursue a career in acting rather than at least attend sixth form college ever disappointed his parents. Because they came across as one hundred percent supportive of his choice. Which he admired, because he sometimes felt like they would want him to follow in their footsteps, having shown that interest in writing at such a young age. Either way, he wouldn't let it hold him back and he began working in British television and film. Playing Cederic Diggory in Harry Potter was his big break and he's been working very hard. In the last year, he's been the voice of a main character in an animated series and has appeared in a comedy-drama show for two years.
