AN EastEnders star has landed his first role since quitting the soap - and it's a huge movie starring a Hollywood legend.
The actor left EastEnders in March 2022 and it looks like his career is on the rise after his latest move was announced.
Toby-Alexander Smith, who portrayed evil Gray Atkins in the BBC One soap, stars alongside Dame Joan Collins in upcoming film Murder Between Friends.
The 33-year-old posed next to the iconic actress in a snap of the cast shared on Instagram.
Joan, 90, wrote: "This was the #secret I posted about several weeks ago! Shooting #murderbetweenfriends with this fabulous #castandcrew."

The movie is still in production and details of Toby's character have yet to be revealed.
His EastEnders character Gray is currently serving a life-sentence for the murders of his wife Chantelle, Kush Kazemi [Davood Ghadami] and Tina Carter [Luisa Bradshaw-White].
After leaving the soap Toby started working as a jazz and swing singer available for private events.
Away from work Toby is married to Emmerdale star Amy Walsh, who is the sister of Girls Aloud singer Kimberly.
His former EastEnders co-star Lorraine Stanley recently shared unseen photos from their wedding last year.
They tied the knot in Montenegro and Amy later told OK!: “It was honestly the most perfect day.
"It surpassed all my expectations and more. I felt so surprisingly present on the day and loved every second. Now I’m just in pure bliss."
