Juliet Aubrey (Actor) .. Sarah Thorman
Jack Davenport (Actor) .. Robert Bradley
Born: March 01, 1973 in Merton
Best Known For: Playing Miles in This Life.
Early-life: Jack Arthur Davenport was born on March 1, 1973, in Suffolk. He claims he never intended to become an actor, despite being the offspring of thespian parents Nigel Davenport and Maria Aitken. After attending his father's old school, Cheltenham College, he studied film and literature at the University of East Anglia. His lucky break came when he wrote to John Cleese asking for work experience on Fierce Creatures and ended up landing a part in the movie.
Career: Davenport became a sought-after actor and heart-throb after starring as Miles in hit series This Life. Projects such as Talos the Mummy, Macbeth, and Ultraviolet followed, before he made his Hollywood debut in The Talented Mr Ripley in 1999. Since then, he's returned to TV to star in acclaimed sitcom Coupling and made little-seen movies such as Offending Angels, The Bunker, Look, and Gypsy. His biggest film role to date came in The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. He also appeared in The Boat That Rocked, and was a cast member of US shows FlashForward and Smash. Davenport returned to the UK to make ITV series Breathless.
Quote: "People tell me Hollywood loves new faces, but I don't know. They're probably just being nice."
Trivia: He married actress Michelle Gomez in 2000.
Rupert Penry-Jones (Actor) .. Stanley Thorman
Born: September 22, 1970 in London
Best Known For: Spooks, and Whitechapel.
Early-life: Rupert William Penry-Jones was born on September 22, 1970, in London. He is the son of To the Manor Born star Angela Thorne and her theatre-actor husband, Peter Penry-Jones. His younger brother, Laurence, also became an actor, but has since quit the profession. Rupert was educated at Dulwich College in London, where he first trod the boards at the age of 13. After a brief spell as a model, he went to Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, but dropped out after two years.
Career: Penry-Jones made his movie debut in 1994's Black Beauty. A role in Absolutely Fabulous came a year later. He gained bigger parts in Cold Comfort Farm, Cold Lazarus, and a TV adaptation of Jane Eyre. A part in acclaimed Stephen Poliakoff drama The Tribe made people sit up and take notice in 1998, the year before he won the prestigious Ian Charleson Award for his theatre performance in the RSC's Don Carlos. Projects since include Hilary and Jackie, Cambridge Spies, Charlotte Gray, The Four Feathers and the BBC drama Casanova. He's best known as MI5 agent Adam Carter in Spooks, which he left in 2008 in explosive fashion, but other projects include period drama Persuasion, Joe's Palace, The 39 Steps, Whitechapel, and Silk.
Quote: "This job is only 25 per cent talent, the rest is luck and the ability to flirt at auditions."
Trivia: He discovered on Who Do You Think You Are? that he had Indian ancestry.
