Neil Jackson

Not knowing how to now get into acting, Jackson wrote a musical and entered it into a national competition for new writers. It came third and gained attention from producers in London including Michael Armstrong. He later enrolled in Michael Armstrong's Acting Academy, graduating 2002. Jackson's first professional acting job was a UK national touring production of Strindberg's classic Miss Julie. He understudied the lead character, Jean, a role he took over in the West End production later that year. His big break came when Oliver Stone cast him as Perdiccas in Alexander alongside Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie. He recalls having a black eye and three stitches in his eyebrow when he first met Oliver Stone, a fact he jokes must have assisted him as Stone cast him for the role on the spot. He was also in the football drama Dream Team for a season as lottery winning chairman Phil Wallis. 2007 saw the release of The Passage, a film written by Jackson and shot in Morrocco, in which he played a lead character alongside Stephen Dorff. The film won the 2008 Jury Award at the Durango Film Festival. Jackson recently shot a scene in Panama for the new Bond movie Quantum of Solace, where he plays the character of Mr. Slate. He is currently starring in the ABC Family original series, Make It or Break It as Sasha Belov.
