Classmates have set up the The Luke Westlake Scholarship, rewarding a student with more than £3,000 worth of artistic and financial support for their final year of training and first years in the industry. They said: ’The scholarship was established when we realised many actors were being priced out of their career once they left training.

‘This year, we have renamed the scholarship in memory of Luke Westlake, a friend and a talented actor. A diligent, fierce, working-class actor, he represents everything the scholarship stands for.’ The BWH Agency, which represented Westlake said it was ‘with extreme sadness we honour our beautiful client Luke Westlake’, adding: ‘Luke was an exceptionally brilliant, instinctive and truly transformative actor whose passing is nothing short of a tragedy.’
