Heydon Prowse grew up in a £1million Islington townhouse with his parents William and Christine and older sister Tara.
The 28-year-old was a child actor who starred in the film The Secret Garden. After auditioning at his school in north London, he was given the role of Colin Craven in the 1993 adaptation of the Frances Hodgson Burnett novel, directed by Agnieszka Holland.
Mr Prowse is now editor of Don't Panic magazine, an alternative arts and culture publication, and makes short movies highlighting affairs from the scandal of MPs' expenses to climate issues.
Recently, he made a three-minute film in which he put a blue plaque on Jacqui Smith's house "honouring" her "services to the people" after she claimed thousands of pounds of expenses to furnish her second constituency home in Redditch.
The environmental activist, who once said he would like to be a teacher, also used a bench in the private square outside Tony Blair's house to commemorate the victims of the Iraq war. Last week he released undercover video footage of staff at Nobu apparently lying to customers that bluefin tuna was not endangered.
Mr Prowse visited the Michelin-starred restaurant in Old Park Lane with a hidden camera and filmed one waiter denying the fish was endangered, while others gave confusing responses. Bluefin tuna, used in sushi and sashimi dishes, is a species at risk with "critically depleted" stocks, according to environmental charity WWF.
His most recent short film entitled All White People Are Warmongers, makes a stand against the Met's campaign to crack down on terrorists.
On his website, he wrote: "The Metropolitan Police have been running a very disturbing Stasi-esque advertising campaign encouraging us to trust our instincts and report possible terrorist activity in our neighbourhoods (i.e. call the fuzz if the towel-heads move in next door). These idiots should be obliged to read 1984.
"If we're going to start racially profiling anyone, how about we start with middle-aged white people. They seem to be the ones causing the majority of problems in the world."
