Career

In 2001, Enoch made his acting debut as Dean Thomas in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. At first, Enoch was reluctant to audition, as he was unable to think of very many black Harry Potter characters. He did, however, and he played the character throughout the entire franchise. He also voiced the character in several of the Harry Potter video games.

After the Harry Potter films, Enoch appeared in a number of plays throughout London including Coriolanus, Timon of Athens, Antigone, and Happy New. He made a guest appearance as Stephen Bainbridge, the Bloody Guardsman, in the Sherlock episode, "The Sign of Three". In 2014, Enoch began starring as Wes Gibbins in the ABC legal thriller series How to Get Away with Murder, produced by Shonda Rhimes.

In 2016, Enoch played Edgar/Poor Tom in the well-received Talawa Theatre Company and Manchester Royal Exchange co-production of King Lear, for which he garnered much praise for his characterisation and the physicality he brought to the roles.

Enoch returned to the West End in the 2018 revival of Red at Wyndham's Theatre, starring alongside Alfred Molina. That same year, he played Aeneas, in the BBC ONE & Netflix TV miniseries Troy: Fall of a City. The following year, Enoch took the leading role 'Jamie McCain' in BBC drama Trust Me, series 2.

In 2020, Enoch returned for two episodes of How to Get Away with Murder's sixth season but in the separate role of the adult version of Christopher Castillo, Wes' son. That same year, he played Antônio in Executive Order and Ryan in Tigers.

In 2021, he played Romeo in a production of Romeo and Juliet at the Globe Theatre in London, Raych Seldon in Apple TV+ science fiction series Foundation, and Harry Wotton in a 2021 adaption of The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Enoch returned to the special featuring Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts in 2022. He played the Dramaturg in Shades of Blue at Sadler's Wells in May of that same year. Enoch also played Adam in This is Christmas.

In 2023, Enoch played Pete in the TV series The Couple Next Door and Tom in The Critic. He played Gabe on the BBC audio drama People Who Knew Me that same year.

Personal life

As of 2020, Enoch lives in London with his girlfriend, though her name has not been revealed. In 2017, he was speculated to be dating his How To Get Away With Murder co-star Aja Naomi King after King posted a photo of herself, her parents, and Enoch on Instagram with a caption that read, "Had the best time in Paris and London. Another great adventure with the people I love most in the world!!!" However, the rumors have never been confirmed or denied.
