While still at drama school, he had his professional debut in Brothers of the Head, alongside his twin brother Luke Treadaway,[2] a feature film about conjoined twin brothers in a punk rock band.[6] He played Tom Howe, the band's rhythm guitarist and songwriter, and his brother Luke played Barry Howe, the lead singer.[6] The Treadaways performed all tracks featured in the film themselves live on stage, as well as recording nine tracks for the sound-track album.[6]
