Rodney was born in Coleraine, Northern Ireland. His mother's love of musical theatre ensured that theatre and music were ever present in the Tosh household. As a child Rodney was always fascinated by science and the natural world, and went on to study Biotechnology at university in Scotland. Feeling unfulfilled by the lack of practical application in the course, he returned home and enrolled at a local college and began a vocational performing arts qualification. It was here that he met the Benson twins, Northern Irish directors/writers with whom he has worked on various film projects since. After witnessing his grandfather succumb to lung cancer in 2006, Rodney moved away once again, this time to London. He was accepted onto a two year professional acting course at the Poor School in King's Cross. He performed in various productions including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Importance of Being Earnest and Scenes from the Big Picture. He graduated in 2009. Show less «
