Jacob Fortune-Lloyd—yeah, that guy with the ridiculously cool name—dropped into the world on January 18, 1988, right in Hillingdon, London. He’s one of those actors who sort of sneaks up on you, popping up in big-league stuff before you even realize you’ve seen him before. Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker? Yep, he’s in there, weaving through the chaos of that galaxy far, far away, probably having the time of his life with stormtroopers and space wizards. Before all that intergalactic madness, Jacob made his mark in Crooked House back in 2017. That's the Agatha Christie adaptation with all the twists and upper-crust English drama you could possibly cram into two hours. He played Philip Leonides, getting tangled up in a murder mystery that’s about as British as tea and rain. Not too shabby, honestly. Fast forward to 2022, and you’ll catch him in See How They Run—a quirky, murder-mystery comedy where he gets to flex those acting chops a bit more, hanging out with Saoirse Ronan and Sam Rockwell. The guy’s got range: period drama, whodunit, even sci-fi blockbusters. Pretty wild, considering you don’t hear his name tossed around as much as you probably should. Off-screen? Well, he’s not one of those headline-chasing celebs. Keeps it mostly low-key, letting the work do the talking. Which, if you ask me, is kinda refreshing these days. Anyway, keep an eye out—Jacob Fortune-Lloyd’s got that “next big thing” energy, even if he’s already been in some pretty epic stuff.
Born to Marcia Levy and John Lloyd (yeah, the Scottish journalist—that one), this guy’s got quite the lineage. Imagine growing up with a parent who’s literally in the business of digging up stories for a living. The dinner table conversation must’ve been wild, right? You can just tell he probably inherited a bit of that journalistic curiosity, or maybe even the dry Scottish wit. It’s not every day someone’s background looks like a mashup between a New York family and a sharp-edged Scottish reporter. Honestly, that mix alone sets the stage for a life that’s anything but boring. There’s always something unique about having parents who come from such different worlds—it sort of presses “shuffle” on your DNA. Maybe that’s why he stands out in his own field now, probably blending a little of mom’s warmth with dad’s sharp sense for a story. Makes you wonder what family reunions are like.
