David Jason
(Actor)
.. DI Jack Frost
Born:
February 02, 1940
in
London
Best Known For:
His role as Del-Boy in Only Fools and Horses.
Early-life:
Born David John White in Finchley, north London, on February 2, 1940, the son of a cleaner and a porter. As a child, he blossomed after appearing in a school play, but he followed his father's wishes and became an electrician. He remained a member of an amateur theatre group until a local newspaper critic advised him he had real talent and should turn professional. He signed up for drama school and joined actors' union Equity, only to be told they already had a David White on their books.
Career:
After stints in local theatre, Jason graduated to TV, joining Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones for Do Not Adjust Your Set in 1967. In the early 1970s, he appeared in the films White Cargo and Under Milk Wood and played the lead in TV comedy A Sharp Intake of Breath, before being cast opposite Ronnie Barker in the popular sitcom Open All Hours. He worked with the comedian again in 1975 in Porridge when he played old man Blanco, a performance that prompted producers to invite him to audition for the role of Grandad in Only Fools and Horses in 1981. The show's makers decided to cast him as Del-Boy instead after noticing his obvious chemistry with on-screen brother Nicholas Lyndhurst. It turned him into a household name. In the 1980s, he also provided the voices for animated children's favourites, including Danger Mouse and Count Duckula. Jason's huge success continued in the 1990s with The Darling Buds of May and A Touch of Frost. Even though he retired from the role of Det Insp Jack Frost in 2008, after playing the character for 16 years, he claimed to have no plans to retire himself from acting. His recent work includes The Royal Bodyguard and Still Open All Hours.
Quote:
'I've never 'felt my age', whatever that means. I think there are a lot of people who feel 22 when in fact they're 62, and there are a lot of youngsters who behave as if they were four times their age. It's an attitude of mind, isn't it?'
Trivia:
He was knighted by the Queen in December 2005.

He also took the lead role of Oliver Pryde in Rings On Their Fingers between 1978 and 1980 and has more recently starred in shows including Stargate Atlantis and Numb3rs.

He has had a long association with narrating Richmal Crompton's Just William stories.
Quote:
'I'm not interested in making my own mark when I read an audiobook, only in serving the writer. My aim is to make people forget they're being read to.'

Jarvis has been married to actress Rosalind Ayres since 1974. He has two children, Toby and Oliver, from a previous marriage.
