Shrapnel was born on 6 October 1979 in London, the second of three boys for actor John Shrapnel and Francesca Ann (née Bartley).[1] He is the brother of director/writer Tom Shrapnel and writer Joe Shrapnel and, through his mother, the grandson of Academy Award-nominated actress Deborah Kerr.[1] He graduated from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Shrapnel's Hotspur in Henry IV in the Royal Shakespeare Company's critically acclaimed 2008 production was described as 'thrillingly charismatic'.[2] He also has appeared on stage in 2011 in Terence Rattigan's The Deep Blue Sea performed at the West Yorkshire Playhouse.
