Jack Lowden
Jack Andrew Lowden (born 2 June 1990) is a Scottish actor. Following a four-year stage career, his first major international onscreen success was in the 2016 BBC miniseries War & Peace, which led to starring roles in feature films. Starring as River Cartwright in the Apple TV series Slow Horses since 2020, he has received nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award.
Lowden starred as Eric Liddell in the 2012 play Chariots of Fire in London. In 2014, he won an Olivier Award and the Ian Charleson Award for his role as Oswald in Richard Eyre's 2013 adaptation of Ibsen's Ghosts.
In 2013, he began to have substantial roles in British television series and feature films, including The Tunnel (2013) and '71 (2014), and had leading roles in the BBC miniseries The Passing Bells (2014) and War & Peace (2016). Other screen roles include the title role as golfing legend Tommy Morris in Tommy's Honour (2016); the starring role of Morrissey in the biopic England Is Mine (2017); a main-cast role as an RAF fighter-pilot in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk (2017); a starring role in the Scottish Highlands thriller Calibre (2018, for which he won the British Academy Scotland Award for Best Film Actor); Lord Darnley in Mary Queen of Scots (2018); a starring role as a plantation owner in 19th-century Jamaica in the 2018 BBC miniseries The Long Song; and as Zak "Zodiac" Bevis in the 2019 comedy-drama WWE film Fighting with My Family.
Jack Lowden was born in Essex in 1990 of Scottish parents. His parents went to England to have IVF treatment for the pregnancies and births of both Jack and his younger brother Calum. He grew up in the Scottish village of Oxton. Calum trained as a ballet dancer from a young age at the Manor School of Ballet in Edinburgh, and later at the English National Ballet School and the Royal Ballet School in London, before joining the Royal Swedish Ballet. As a child, Lowden attended the dance classes at Manor School of Ballet as well, but found he was better at, and more suited to, acting. As a child, however, he wanted to be a footballer.
When he was 10 Lowden's parents enrolled him in the Scottish Youth Theatre in Edinburgh. At age 12 he played John in a Peter Pan pantomime at the King's Theatre, Edinburgh.
He attended Earlston High School, where he starred as Buddy Holly in Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story and performed in various concerts. His determination to become a professional actor came from seeing the play Black Watch on its first run in 2007. While in high school, he studied during summer school at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. He also performed regularly at the Galashiels Amateur Operatic Society, where he played the lead in a 2008 production of The Boy Friend.
Lowden received a BA in acting from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow in 2011.
In 2009, at the age of 18, Lowden starred in a television advertisement for Irn-Bru, sending up High School Musical. In 2010 he had a small part as the character Nick Fairclough on an episode of the Glasgow-set television series Being Victor.
