Did You Know..

Jason Flemyng (Actor) .. Peter Milton

Born: September 25, 1965 in Putney, London

Best Known For: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

Early-life: Flemyng was born in Putney, London, the son of Scottish film director Gordon Flemyng. He decided he wanted to become an actor after appearing in theatrical productions at his school. In the 1980s, he was involved with the National Youth Theatre and the political organisation the Young Socialists. In 1990 he was admitted to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), where he was a classmate of Hermione Norris. Following his graduation from LAMDA in the early 1990s he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Career: Flemyng was then a regular in the ITV drama series Doctor Finlay from 1993 to 1996. His first major cinema role was in Angela Pope's 1996 drama Hollow Reed, followed by a main role in Guy Ritchie's popular 1998 London gangster film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. He has since appeared in many box office successes, such as From Hell, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Transporter 2, Snatch and X-Men: First Class. In 2009, Flemyng joined the cast of the ITV science fiction cult drama series Primeval during its third series, as maverick ex-policeman Danny Quinn. More recently, he has starred in The Musketeers and The Missing.

Quote: 'I fancied a girl who played Dorothy in the school production of The Wizard of Oz. I auditioned for the role of the scarecrow so that I could have the most stage time with her, but she ended up running off with the tin man!'

Trivia: Flemyng has completed a number of marathons.
