Moving on to studies, he attended Leighton Park School and art school before transferring to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, where he graduated in 1972.

Awards include an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA

After graduating in 1972, the acclaimed actor went immediately to the Open Air Theatre in Regent’s Park, where he was hired as stage manager. Because it took a few years for acting gigs to start coming in, the actor joined the Ugly modeling agency to supplement his income while he waited, though he never landed a job.

Jim earned a position in the 12-part science fiction television series “Illuminatus” in 1977, which required him to play a variety of roles. As additional work came his way, Jim began to catch the notice of British directors. In 1987, he made his Hollywood debut in “Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.” Woody Allen personally called him to cast him in “Bullets Over Broadway.”

The Langford star’s popularity rose throughout the 1990s. By the end of the decade, he was one of Britain’s best-loved character actors, one of the few who could play a supporting role as well as a leading one.

His roles in “Little Voice, Smilla’s Sense Of Snow,” and “The Avengers” established him as one of the UK’s most popular performers. Later, he played Renee Zellweger’s father in “Topsy Turvy” and Bridget Jones’ “Diary.”

Then came “Iris,” which earned him an Oscar nomination, and Martin Scorsese’s epic “Gangs of New York.” His film and television credits include “Game of Thrones,” “Eddie the Eagle,” “London Spy,” “The Weather Inside,” and “Black 47.”

The Game of Thrones star most recently participated in the series “Black Narcissus” starring Gemma Arterton, which premiered in 2020. He is also a writer, having released his debut novel, “Dull Margaret.”
