Line of Duty

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] in which he was shown 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.[5]
