Jason Flemyng
| Biography |
Jason was born in London in September 25, 1966, which makes him a little older than the "Outlander" Jamie. His parents are Scottish, so doing Jamie's Scottish burr should probably not present a problem.
Apart from being terribly good looking, with Jamie's deep blue eyes and wonderful red hair, not to mention the sexy Celtic knot work tattoo on his arm :-), Jason Flemyng is a very talented actor, with an already rather long list of credits in movies and TV series, including a small role in Rob Roy, where he can be seen in a kilt.
His best known movies so far are Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, a violent but very funny and intelligent black comedy about four friends who, when an attempt to make some extra cash goes awry, suddenly find themselves involved with some vicious ruthless gangsters (they shaved his hair for this movie, a real crime!), and Alive and Kicking, where he played a gay dancer who refuses to let the fact that he has AIDS rule his life, and which won him the 1996 Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award -- and no, this is NOT a depressing movie! It's a really wonderful, uplifting, funny and romantic love story! Can you tell I (Rita) really loved this movie? :-) |
