Oliver Jackson-Cohen

He’s got some serious creative genes—his mom, Betty Jackson, is a big deal in the design world, and his dad, David Cohen, isn’t just along for the ride, he’s the business brains behind her. So, a total family operation. His mom’s English through and through, but his dad? That side of the family comes with a whole different story. Egyptian Jewish roots, and they packed up and headed to France back in the ‘50s. Imagine all those cultures mixing at the dinner table—proper English traditions on one side, Egyptian Jewish heritage on the other, and a dash of Parisian influence for good measure. Honestly, it’s no surprise he’s got such a unique perspective. Growing up in that kind of household probably felt like living in a mash-up of worlds, blending high fashion, business savvy, and a pretty rich family history. It’s got to shape the way you see things, right?

I’m playing this guy, Colm, who’s a Knight Templar, but not your average chivalrous dude. Nah, Colm’s got a seriously dark side. The whole thing’s set in this tense, medieval world, and honestly, it’s a far cry from my old role as Philip. Colm’s unpredictable, kinda ruthless, and not really the hero type. It was actually kind of thrilling to jump into a character who’s walking this weird line between loyalty and his own twisted morals. There’s a ton of action, secret plots, backstabbing, and a bunch of moments that’ll make you squirm. If you’re into stories where you can’t tell who to trust and no one’s really “good,” this one’s got you covered. And yeah, there’s blood. Lots of it.
