Troy

Troy is a bright, charismatic student, very talented at basketball. He wants to do well in the sport he loves but his deafness threatens to hold him back. Adam is his closest confidant and Maya his oldest friend. He works part-time for his uncle, Errol, who has no time for his commitment to Deaf culture.

David Ellington, who plays Troy, had his first acting experience at the Swan Theatre during the deaf festival in 1997. It was there he discovered his acting ability and he has pursued theatrical work ever since. Most of David's work has been in and around Bristol, where he lives. He has also worked as a presenter for the BBC and HTV and was involved in the first signed pop video – The Queen's New English, which was produced for the deafcyber Millennium Celebration. A new version of The Queen's New English was featured in the first series of VEE-TV.

David is currently working as a teaching assistant at Elmfield School for deaf children.
