Jamie Campbell Bower named one of Independent’s ‘Next Generation of British Acting Talent’

Jamie Campbell Bower was recognized by ‘Independent’ as one of the ‘Next Generation of British Acting Talent.’

Jamie Campbell Bower, 22

Campbell Bower, who went to the same private school, Bedales, as Daniel Day-Lewis and Minnie Driver, won his first role four years ago in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, his first leading part as King Arthur in the racy TV costume drama Camelot, and met his fiancée, Bonnie Wright, on the set of Harry Potter. But with two major film releases – as the young Earl of Oxford in the Shakespeare drama Anonymous and as an evil vampire in the new Twilight movies – he’s about to take the next step up, not to mention gaining a sizeable teenage female fan club. Still in the realms of supernatural fantasy, next year he plays Jace in the film of the bestselling The Mortal Instruments.

Advice… “Remember where you’ve come from – it’s very easy to lose that connection with reality.”

Role model…“Ryan Gosling – I thought Blue Valentine was amazing.”

See him next in… Anonymous is on general release now; Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 opens on 18 November.

“I thought that, rather than taking three years out, I could continue to work and learn,” says Jamie Campbell Bower. “I’m a big believer in experience being the best teacher.”

Can I just say “Jace” that photo of him is. Really looking forward to seeing him get into character and make us all swoon.
