Jamie Ward rose to prominence not onscreen but on-stage, in London's West End, playing Marius in “Les Misérables” (2013), a role that launched his UK career. However, he is perhaps best known for portraying Father Gomez in HBO's “His Dark Materials” (2022), and for his appearances in “The Durrells” (2016), “Tyrant” (2016), “The Rezort” (2015), and “Septembers of Shiraz” (2015). In addition to acting, Ward was the lead singer of the pop band Balcony and toured with artists like Lewis Capaldi. His latest role as Romeo in the pop musical film “Juliet & Romeo” (2025), thrusts the actor into a modern reimagining of Shakespeare's classic.
