Sean Cronin is a British actor, director, and singer.

About his ancestry, Sean has stated:

It’s just a real mixture. My father’s side is Irish, Spanish and Welsh. In fact, my great-grandfather was a Spanish horse thief. He would capture wild horses in Spain, sail them in a large flat-topped galleon, and bring the horses to England. He would actually break them on deck. He died at sea ultimately and only worked a few times. That’s my grandmother’s side, with Spanish, Welsh and Irish blood from my father, and from my mother’s side, half was very posh English and the other half was Sicilian from Palermo where the real Mafia come from, so watch out!
