Jack Davenport
Biography
One of the most versatile actors to emerge from England, Jack Davenport became a star in his native country for his honest portrayals of the British everyman, such as the twenty-something law professional who lacked any social grace on the BBC drama "This Life" (BBC, 1996-97), or the hilarious bachelor Steve Taylor on the cult sitcom "Coupling" (BBC, 2000-04).
Davenport captivated across the pond with several American films, from the thrilling drama "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999) opposite Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow, to the high seas adventure "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003).
Throughout his career, Davenport managed to choose roles that required his full commitment to a character yet his most challenging - both physically and emotionally - was the physicist he portrayed on ABC's sci-fi drama, "Flash Forward" (2009-10), a breakout role that finally made the talented and likable actor a household name.
