Jeremy Irvine
Biography
Jeremy Irvine is an English actor born in Gamlingay. He began acting at 16 after a drama teacher inspired him, and he performed in productions at Bedford Modern School and with the National Youth Theatre before completing a foundation course at LAMDA. Steven Spielberg selected him from hundreds of actors to lead War Horse (2011), his film debut, in which he gained muscle and trained on horseback; the role brought nominations for the London Film Critics' Choice Award and the Empire Award. Irvine then played Pip in Great Expectations (2012) and the young Eric Lomax in The Railway Man (2013), losing weight and doing his own torture scenes. He starred in Now Is Good (2012), Fallen (2016), and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) as the younger Sam Carmichael. On television he played John Randolph Bentley in Treadstone, and he appeared as James Sunderland in Return to Silent Hill (2026).
