Personal details
- Professions: Actor
Fresh out of drama school, Jamie sort of stumbled into the big leagues—he ran into Tom Hooper and Nina Gold while auditioning for the ‘Les Miserables’ film. Instead of bagging a movie role, he landed on the West End as Marius, which honestly? Not too shabby for a first gig. After packing up and moving to the UK, Jamie hustled through a crazy mix of TV spots, commercials, indie flicks—pretty much any screen that’d have him. His big TV moment came when he scored the role of Father Gomez in the third season of HBO’s ‘His Dark Materials’. The Daily Telegraph went all in, calling his performance “utterly magnetic.” Not a bad endorsement, right? Things didn’t slow down. Jamie just wrapped playing Romeo—yeah, *that* Romeo—in the upcoming musical flick VERONA, sharing scenes with the likes of Rebel Wilson, Clara Ruugard, Jason Isaacs, and the legend Derek Jacobi. On top of his acting hustle, he fronts a pop band called Balcony. Warner/Parlophone snapped them up, and they hit the road with Lewis Capaldi in 2020, plus Tones and I. Not to mention, they crushed it at over 20 festivals and critics actually paid attention—in a good way. So, whether he’s belting out pop anthems or stealing scenes on stage and screen, Jamie’s just getting warmed up.
He’s a Yokine guy—yeah, that’s basically a suburb tucked away in the sprawl of Perth, Western Australia. Not exactly the place you’d expect a story to kick off, but hey, everyone’s gotta be from somewhere, right? Growing up there, you get this mix of chill suburbia and just enough city buzz to keep things interesting. It’s not all sun, surf, and kangaroos, though. Think more neighborhood parks and local footy matches, with the occasional wild party that everyone talks about for weeks. His roots in Yokine, honestly, they shape a lot of who he is—laid-back but not afraid to throw down if things get real. People from around here? They look out for each other. That sort of loyalty, it’s baked in. And, sure, maybe he doesn’t shout about where he’s from, but deep down, there’s a bit of pride in calling Yokine home. It’s one of those places you might miss once you’re gone.
