  • Date of Birth: April 03, 1973
  • Place of Birth: Hammersmith, London, United Kingdom
Mini-bio: Jamie St. John Bamber Griffith was born in London to an American father,
Ralph, and a Northern Irish mother, Liz. He spent his early school years in
Paris, where his father worked as a management co...( read more)nsultant. His mother had
trained and worked as an actress in London before starting a family and
moving to France. Jamie is one of seven siblings, having a younger brother
and a younger sister as well as four older half-brothers from his father's
first marriage, all of whom were raised as a single family. It was Jamie's
mother who first awakened his love of drama while she ran a children's
theatre group at the American Cathedral in Paris; his first role was as the
Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, cast by his mother, who as yet
lacked a daughter.




It was as a child that Jamie did his first paid acting work, dubbing a
French film into English while in Paris and then doing the odd TV commercial
after moving back to the U.K. at the age of 7. At St. Paul's School in
London he developed his love for the theatre and for all things athletic. He
became School Captain in his final year, before going to Cambridge
University to study French and Italian literature. While there he played
university rugby and performed in many theatrical productions. He also spent
a study year in Pavia, Italy, before graduating with first-class honours.




While Jamie has always wanted to act, his acceptance to the London Academy
of Music and Dramatic Art marked the decision to make it his career. Still
at LAMDA, he was cast in his first professional role, as Archie Kennedy in
TV's Horatio Hornblower miniseries. His recent credits include Steven
Spielberg and Tom Hanks' HBO miniseries, Band of Brothers, as well as Daniel
Deronda for the BBC. Jamie was a series regular on the ITV shows Peak
Practice and Ultimate Force, and most recently portrayed the role of Price
Hal in Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2, at the Bristol Old Vic.

Jamie has since worked steadily in TV, film and radio in Europe and the
United States.
