Jonathan Moore - Actor

Jonathan Moore has had a prominent career as an actor working at the highest levels of theatre, film and television for over twenty years.

Leading roles in the theatre have included those with the Royal Shakespeare Co, at the Royal Court, the Chichester Festival, the Royal Exchange, the Donmar, London, as well as in London's West End performing roles in plays ranging from edgy contemporary work (several of which were written by him) to Shaw and Shakespeare. On screen he has co-starred opposite Michael Caine, Gabriel Byrne, Dame Diana Rigg, and David Suchet (amongst many others) .

Since June of 2006 he has enjoyed a continuous flow of roles. Starring in "2Graves" at the Edinburgh Festival, the play was transferred to the London West End. The performance was both critically and publically acclaimed: "a theatrical firecracker - Jonathan Moore is astonishing" (Paul Taylor, The Independent)".

This in turn was immediately followed by a guest starring role in "Midsomer Murders", one of last summer's highest rated TV thrillers. He then played the guest starring role of 'Jack Harris' in "City of Vice" on Channel 4. He went on to play Feargus O'Connor, the leader of the Chartist movement in Jack Shepard's "Holding Fire" at the Shakespeare Globe Theatre on London's South Bank. After this he played another Feargus in an independent short film "Perfect",  followed by acting, writing and directing his own comedy pilot "On The Verge" with Michael Kingsbury.

He has recently completed filming "Criminal Justice" with Ben Whishaw, Pete Postlethwaite and Bill Patterson for BBC Drama, and a leading role in the new British movie S.N.U.B., directed by Jonathan Glendening, on location in England.

He has just returned from location in India filming "Sharpe's Peril" with Sean Bean, for broadcast on ITV later in the year.
