Jamie Draven

British actor Jamie Draven specialized in slightly tough, machismo-infused onscreen roles when he began acting onscreen. He did particularly memorable work in the comedy drama Billy Elliot (2000) -- as Tony, the macho sibling of the title character, who objects vociferously and projects tremendous misunderstanding when his little brother takes up a ballet career. Draven scored one of his first leads nearly a decade later, as a veteran driven to psychosis by the horrors of battle and marital infidelity, in the psychological drama Badland (2007), and landed a plum role (one of the leads) as a Special Air Service operative on the U.K. series Ultimate Force (2007). ~ Nathan Southern Full Biography »
