Having never acted before, he successfully auditioned for the lead role in Ken Loach's Sweet Sixteen, which was being filmed locally. The film's success at the Cannes Film Festival gave him instant celebrity status in Scotland. His subsequent film career was comparatively low key as he wanted to "serve his apprenticeship" with a regular role in the BBC TV drama serial Monarch of the Glen. He then appeared in three films: A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (Jury Prize and Best Ensemble Cast at the Sundance Festival) with Robert Downey, Jr.; Red Road (Jury Prize at Cannes), shot in Scotland with Kate Dickie and Tony Curran, for which he was nominated Best Supporting Actor at the Scottish BAFTAs; and True North with Peter Mullan and Gary Lewis, for which he was nominated as Best Actor at the British Independent Film Awards.

Martin Compston still ‘astonished’ by Sweet Sixteen casting
Martin Compston still finds it “astonishing” that renowned director Ken Loach “took a chance” by casting him in Sweet Sixteen.
The Scot’s award-winning debut film will mark its 20th anniversary with a special screening in Glasgow, when Compston will be reunited with co-stars and director Loach.
Sweet Sixteen’s success at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002 propelled Compston from promising young footballer to household name almost overnight – even if the star himself wasn’t particularly impressed.
“The first time I saw it, I really didn’t like it. [Co-stars] Anne Marie and William had a bit of acting experience and when we watched it in my house in Greenock, it made me really nervous,” the Line of Duty actor told Scotland Tonight.
