Jack Brett Anderson

A rising star in both theatre and film, summer 2017 saw Jack Brett Anderson return to the stage with the lead role in Tina Jay's new play, 'Held', directed by Richard Elson. He performed dual parts, as prisoners Jamie and as Fynn, in a production that explores the broken lives of five inmates. It was in his debut theatre role that Jack caught the eye of critics for his portrayal as Prince Edward in the Christopher Marlowe's King Edward II at the South Bank's Rose Theatre. The British Theatre Guide described his performance as 'uniquely moving ....electric to watch.' Jack's latest television character is in the period drama series for National Geographic - 'Genius: Picasso', directed by Ron Howard, in which he will play a lead role as Honoré Joseph Géry Pieret - thief, con man and general trouble maker and friend to Picasso - in the series which dramatizes the life of the artist Picasso. He also shot two films last year - 'Acceptable Damage' as well as 'Intrigo', directed by Daniel Alf
