Geraint Wyn Todd (born 8 August 1979) is a Welsh actor, originally from Pontypridd in the South Wales Valleys. He has played several major roles in Welsh dramas and comedies, most notably in Cowbois ac Injans (2006-2007) and in Pobol y Cwm from 2011 on.
Todd started his acting career when in school, with parts on television programmes such as Halen yn y Gwaed (Salt in the Blood), Pam Fi, Duw? (Why Me, God?) and a small part in Pobol y Cwm.
From 1997 to 2000 he attended the University of Wales in Cardiff, where he pursued a double major in History and English Literature. Although acting was always a passion, he said, he was aware of the difficulty that some actors have in finding work, so he determined to complete his degree as a backup plan. During his final year at university he played a role in "Y Palmant Aur". He worked steadily in acting thereafter and says that because of the enjoyment he got from it, after a year of earning his living as an actor he had decided that it was definitely what he wanted to do in life.
After graduation Todd worked on a variety of Cardiff drama series from 2000 to 2002, such as "A Mind to Kill", "Y Tŷ" (The House), "The Bench" and "Iechyd Da". He also voiced a number of radio advertisements and spent a month going round the schools of Wales with a theatre education tour, on behalf of the Welsh Books Council (Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru), in order to promote reading amongst young people. He also had the opportunity to present two series of a music and travel programme called "Bicini" which won the Young People's Award at the Celtic Film and Television Festival (Féile na Méan Ceilteach) in 2001.
