Jack Davenport is an English actor.
Biography[]
Born in Suffolk, Davenport initially had no interest in becoming an actor despite it being the career of both his parents, but after writing a letter to John Cleese asking if he could work as a crewmember, Davenport was instead cast in a bit part in Fierce Creatures. This helped him secure a succesful venture on television with This Life.
After the series finished, Davenport became a highly sought after character actor in films, appearing in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the comedy The Boat That Rocked, and spy comedy-thriller Kingsman.

Davenport has a handful of singing credits to his name, both on the big screen (with The Talented Mr. Ripley) and in smaller ventures, such as This Life and Smash.
