Jamie Bell
Biography
Jamie Bell is an English actor who broke through as a teenager, picked from a pool of more than 2,000 boys to play a working-class boy who takes up ballet in Billy Elliot (2000), a performance that brought him a BAFTA for Best Actor and made him one of the youngest winners of that prize. He followed it with Smike in Nicholas Nickleby (2002) and a soldier in Deathwatch (2002), then the young Jimmy in King Kong (2005). Later credits include Jumper (2008), Defiance (2008), Jane Eyre (2011), Snowpiercer (2013) and Filth (2013), and he took the lead in The Adventures of Tintin (2011), a motion capture film. He led the AMC drama Turn: Washington's Spies as Abraham Woodhull from 2014 to 2017, earned a second BAFTA nomination for Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool (2017), and played Bernie Taupin in Rocketman (2019) and a part in All of Us Strangers (2023).
