Gregory Tyler Piper (born 15 March 1998[1]) is a British actor best known for playing Ryan Pilkington in Line of Duty.
Line of Duty
[edit | edit source]He was 13 years old when he first appeared in Line of Duty series 1 playing young criminal Ryan Pilkington.
Following complaints from some viewers, Ofcom found that the BBC had made a "serious lapse" in its duty of care for Piper by "failing to ensure that a child welfare counsellor or psychologist had considered the appropriateness or potential emotional risk to the boy of his involvement", given the violent nature of some of his scenes.[2][3]
Piper reprised the role as a more prominent antagonist in series 5,[4] initially as a member of the Organised Crime Group (OCG) and latterly as a Central Police cadet. In series 6, Pilkington appears more extensively as an officer in the murder investigation team secretly working as a mole for the organised crime syndicate before being killed off in the fifth episode.[5]
