How old is Jamie Muscato?
Jamie Muscato is presently 34 years old. He was born on April 12, 1990, in the British town of Brighton and Hove. He has both British and Canadian nationality. Jamie was born to a middle-class British citizen named Debby Muscato, a high school teacher. Details on whom Jamie Muscato’s father could have been aren’t available currently. There is also not enough information about where he got his Canadian nationality from. Jamie is Caucasian and was born under the Aries zodiac sign.
He is the only publicly known child of his mother and there are no indications that he has any siblings. Jamie did attend high school in the United Kingdom, but the name of the said school is currently unavailable. Reports on his college education are obscure and all indications point to the fact that he might not have attended any because his acting career took off when he was still a teenager. Jamie’s passion for acting was stoked when he was eight years old after auditioning for a pantomime in his hometown.
An adult Jamie now recalls that that audition was the genesis of his love for acting. He then joined a couple of amateur theater companies before he even turned 10. He was notably a member of Unforgotten in the British Youth Music Theater between 2004 and 2005. In 2006, at the age of 16, he won his first singing competition at the London Wicked Day celebration on October 29, after beating out 9 other competitors to clinch the prize.
Jamie Muscato began his career in theatre
Jamie spent a good deal of his late teen years honing his skills as a stage actor. His big break came in 2009 when he made his West End debut as part of the original London cast of Spring Awakening. He was mostly cast as an understudy member first for Oliver Barrett in Love Story, then for Drew and Franz in Rock of Ages, and also for Digby in The Light Princess. Jamie scored his first stage lead role in 2014 as Eddie Birdlace in the U.K. premiere of the drama, Dogfight; Laura Jane Matthewson was a part of the cast and famously played Rose.
The following year, Jamie played Nathan in The House of Mirrors and Hearts. He also appeared in the Welsh National Opera version of Sweeney Todd as Anthony Hope. After being cast as an understudy for Joe in Bend It Like Beckham, he finally got the chance to play the role after the main actor couldn’t continue. His stage career makes up the bulk of his entire acting career and there’s no denying the fact that Jamie Muscato feels most at home when he is on the stage.
Career as a television actor
As already mentioned, Jamie has done a few film and television works. But as short as his filmography in this category might be, he does know how to pick the best productions to be a part of. Chief among his movie appearances was in the 2012 film, Les Misérables where he played an ensemble student. Muscato also appeared in the 2014 TV series, Cilla where he played the character Rory Storm. Jamie appeared in the miniseries, Pistol as Neil and in the movie, The Undeclared War as Finn.
One of his most popular television roles happens to be in the film, The Color of Spring where he played the main character, Sam Cameron. This particular movie earned him an award for Best Actor in a Movie and his performance in it remains one of his most critically acclaimed to date.
