Below is a list of projects in which you can see me and what I am working on
right now.
I’m inviting you to have Dinner With… me as part of Soul Mama’s intimate conversation-led series celebrating cultural icons, creative pioneers and influential voices across music, film, television and the arts. Each event invites audiences behind the scenes of extraordinary lives, pairing honest conversation with warmth, storytelling and connection. This event will take place on Sunday 25 January.
This evening will take the form of a relaxed fireside conversation, reflecting on my career, my experiences as a trailblazer for Black British actors, and my ongoing commitment to nurturing future talent through The Rudolph Walker Foundation, which supports disadvantaged young people into careers in the creative industries. All profits from the night will go to my charity.
Set within the intimate surroundings of Soul Mama, this event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from myself and to ask me any questions you might have.
I was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award at The Power Of A Man Awards on 29th November.
The 2025 Power of a Man Awards took place in November 2025, honouring men making significant positive impacts in the UK. A beautiful event at London’s Connaught rooms was hosted by Kele Le Rock & Awards founder Fredi Nwaku, I had a great evening at a table shared with Derek ‘Mr Motivator’ Evans, Levi Roots & ex world champion boxer Johnny Nelson, who were just a few of the celebrities attending the event.
This life has been blessed to me and I have been fortunate to meet some wonderful people and experiences that have lead to some extraordinary moments, but also extremely difficult challenges that at times felt impassable.
Through writing this book I wish to pass on some advice, experience, guidance and encouragement that allowed me to navigate this wonderful world, in the hope that these encounters and lessons may help, guide or inspire others in the future.
We are looking towards a Spring 2025 release date and you can find out more via the Rudolph Walker Foundation website – www.rudolphwalkerfoundation.com

I have been playing the character of Patrick Trueman since September 13th 2001.
As of early 2026 Patrick is heavily involved in an emotional storyline centered on the tragic death of his son, Anthony. After struggling with grief, Patrick is set for a temporary exit from Walford for a trip to Trinidad to avoid the trauma of the upcoming trial related to Anthony’s
death.
Following Anthony’s death, a depressed Patrick used an artificial intelligence (AI) device to converse with an AI version of his deceased son, causing concern among family members.
Due to the strain of the upcoming trial, Patrick decides to leave Walford to go to Trinidad to clear his head, as supported by his wife, Yolande played by Rudolph’sgood friend Angela Wynter.
Despite his heartbreak, Patrick remains a cornerstone character known for his past storylines, including his marriage to Sheree, relationships with Denise and Kim Fox, and his history in the 1958 Notting Hill riots.
It is my great honour to be featured as one of the 70 “Champions” and “Pioneers”in the Windrush 70, an initiative, launched by the Windrush Foundation to mark the 70th anniversary of the Empire Windrush arrival. https://windrush70.co.uk/ – the project features individuals who made significant contributions to British life. Key figures highlighted include Sam King, Connie Mark, Cy Grant and Harold Phillips (Lord Woodbine), as well as my dear friend Carmen Monroe.
On July 19, 2025, I discussed my six-decade career in film, television, and theatre with fellow actor David Harewood at the V&A Museum in London. The conversationcovered my journey from Trinidad to British stardom, navigating industry racism, and my varied roles, including EastEnders.
