Jamie Lee-Hill is an actor know for playing a wide range of characters, and being able to perform with emotional intensity or vulnerability. Lee-Hill was born Jamie Lee Hill , Matthias Schoennearts, and Tom Sturridge, the latter of whom he has worked with since together with Benedict Cumberbatch in The Hollow Crown. Always keen to master his craft, and a great admirer of Stanislavski, Jamie even made the pilgrimage to his Moscow home. Jamie has also extended his skills by training late in life with Dorset School of Acting, and has particularly found the work around imagination and breaking down of texts to have been helpful in improving his performances. Jamie has gone on to work on several other films. He signed with DQ Manament in 2015 and his burning ambition remains as undiminished as ever.
Jamie had ambitions to be a professional goalkeeper. He went on the play semi-professionally in the Wessex League.
Jamie fell off the apex of the roof of a house his Dad was building as a toddler, had nightmares of falling for years, and a terror of heights. He believes in facing his fears, and became a climber and mountaineer, enjoying the Munros of Scotland in Winter. He still gets terrified.
Jamie may have been the youngest ever person down Wookey Hole at ten days old. Who knows what his parents were thinking taking a newborn baby into a cold wet cave.
Other childhood ambitions included fighter pilot, having joined the Air Training Corps, Formula 1 racer, and zoologist, being a great fan of pretty much everything presented by David Attenborough, but the acting bug never went away.
Jamie plays sport at a National level, playing handball for Poole Phoenix in the Southern National League, and in the annual British Beach Handball Championships.
