Biografia
Paul Jesson’s feature film appearances include: Mike Leigh’s VERA DRAKE and ALL OR NOTHING; THE ESCORT; INTIMATE CONTACT; CROSSTALK; ACCEPTABLE LEVELS; and Richard Eyre’s THE PLOUGHMAN’S LUNCH.
His myriad television credits include the telefilm MARGARET, a drama about Margaret Thatcher’s last days in government; the English Civil War miniseries THE DEVIL’S WHORE; and HBO’s lavish, multi-award winning series “Rome.” He was in many of the BBC's Shakespeare series, including RICHARD III, CYMBELINE, CORIOLANUS and LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST.
Jesson is perhaps most recognized for his truly extensive and varied work on the British stage with some of the most prestigious theatre companies and directors in the country. He has been seen in Mike Bartlett's Olivier Award-winning play “Cock,” directed by James Macdonald and in Sam Mendes' “The Winter's Tale” and “The Cherry Orchard” in New York and London. Again with Mendes he was featured in “Twelfth Night” at the Donmar and in New York. He worked with the eminent German director Peter Stein on “The Seagull” and “Troilus And Cressida.”
He was nominated for a Scottish Critics' Award for his performance as Willy Loman in “Death Of A Salesman.” For the Royal Court appearances include: “Falkland Sound/Voces De Malvinas”; “The Normal Heart,” for which he won an Olivier Award for the Outstanding Performance in a Supporting Role; “A Lie of the Mind”; and “The Seagull.” At the National he performed in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”; “Hedda Gabler”; “Hamlet”; “The Devil's Disciple”; and “Mary Stuart.” At the Royal Shakespeare Company, credits include “Troilus And Cressida,” “The Beggar's Opera,” The Winter's Tale,” “Bingo,” “The Tempest” and “Henry VIII.”
