Emmerdale was Louis' first big acting job, but he has previously appeared in Doctors, Vera and The Pact.
The young star once spoke about being from a famous family, telling The Mirror: "They don't put any pressure on me but the little bit I probably do feel is the pressure to have a career as successful as my mum and dad, but I like that, I think I've always worked well under pressure and if I know people are going to be judging me it's going to make me do a good job.
"I've already had people saying I've only got a job because of who my mum and dad are.
"There is a bit of a stigma around it, about famous people's kids, but it's good for me to try and disprove that."
