Who was credited with the Casting win for I Swear at the 2026 BAFTAs?

Lauren Evans was credited with the Casting win for I Swear at the 2026 BAFTAs. BAFTA’s Casting award honours the work of the casting professional who assembled the performers for a film, rather than awarding the trophy to the actors themselves.

I Swear is a 2025 British biographical comedy-drama written and directed by Kirk Jones. It is based on the life of John Davidson, a Scottish man with severe Tourette syndrome whose story was previously featured in the television documentary John’s Not Mad. Robert Aramayo plays Davidson in the film.

Evans’s win is sometimes confused with the film’s two other BAFTA successes: Robert Aramayo won Leading Actor, while I Swear also received nominations for supporting acting and original screenplay. The casting honour specifically recognised Evans’s contribution to finding and assembling the ensemble.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7 September 2025 and was released in the UK on 10 October. At the 79th BAFTAs, it won both Casting and Leading Actor, giving the British independent film a notable pair of victories.
