Career

Mirallegro's first professional appearance came in 2007, after being cast as emo juvenile Newt in the long-running British soap opera Hollyoaks. Despite leaving Hollyoaks after two years to work on other acting ventures, he was grateful for the opportunity to attend the exhibition: "I learned a lot of the craft from being in front of a camera six days a week." That's certainly an experience you don't get in drama school."

Mirallegro was also playing Cam Spencer in LOL, a web series that explored sex, heroin, and family relationships when filming in Hollyoaks. Mirallegro appeared in an episode of BBC drama series Moving On as a gay youngster who suffers bullying in school due to his gender. In nine episodes of the regular BBC series Doctors, beginning in 2010, he appeared as an Italian foreign exchange student.

Mirallegro appeared in one of the BBC One 1930s-period redesigned Upstairs Downstairs in December 2010. Johnny Proude, a young footman who took up a job in the northern mining town where he was born, was portrayed as a young footman. The BBC commissioned the production for a second series, in which he appeared as Johnny once more. His character appeared in a boxing tournament, requiring Mirallegro to take boxing lessons for the role. Mirallegro appeared in the BBC's three-part psychological thriller Exile in 2011, playing the teenage version of leading character Tom Ronstadt. Sam, a gay heroin addict on the BBC drama The Body Farm, took place later this year.

Finn Nelson, the main female character in E4's teen comedy-drama series My Mad Fat Diary, began in 2013. Joe Middleton appeared in The Village, a BBC drama. In the tense BBC One production Common, written by Jimmy McGovern, Mirallegro depicted a teenager charged for murder under the Joint Enterprise Act in 2014. A report stated that Mirallegro "continues to be the best actor to ever graduate from Hollyoaks."

The Ark, a 2015 television film, told the tale of Noah, as well as elements from Islamic tradition. Kenan, Noah's youngest (and extrabiblical) son, who wanted to travel a different route from his father and brothers resulted in his being swept away in the Great Flood, according to Mirallegro. Mirallegro appeared in HBO's Virtuoso, directed and partially written by Alan Ball. Mirallegro, a self-taught violinist who flies to Vienna to talk with other young musicians, was set in the 18th century.

Mirallegro's role in McQueen the Movie came to an end in the summer of 2010. Sam, a Jewish boy who is one of the story's two main protagonists, was played by him. In the 1990s, the film is set in suburbia in the North of England.

In a full-length film set in the 1990s about the Manchester-based rock band The Stone Roses, Mirallegro portrayed a teenage lead guitarist. Spike Island, the film, was released in 2012. Spike Island was "six weeks of pure bliss" at the time.

Socrates is a 2014 football drama starring "the underdog tale of a Northern Ireland team that kicks off their world cup against football giants Brazil." David Campbell, [Mirallegro's] character, makes his Northern Ireland debut before his 21st birthday, and the game is a baptism of fire for him. The film's cast members were praised as talented, but the script's critiques were less positive.

Mirallegro appeared in the drama The Pass, in which Russell Tovey plays a football player struggling with his homosexuality, appeared at the Royal Court Theatre in London in January 2014. In a 2016 film version of Mirallegro's "irrepressible performance" as a hotel bellboy, he reprised his comedic role as a hotel bellboy.
