Jamie Bamber

The English-American Actor is best known for his roles as Commander Lee Adama in the critically acclaimed sci-fi miniseries and series "Battlestar Galctica", and as Archibald "Archie" Kennedy on the like wise acclaimed British series "Hornblower". He had received a first class honours degree in Modern Languages (Italian and French) at St.
John's College, Cambridge, before attending the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). His breakout role came with "Hornblower", after which he took parts in several other TV series including "Peak Practice", "Ultimate Force" and "Band of Brothers". His most notable role though, was obviously in Ronald Moore's 2004 re-imagining of "Battlestar Galactica"- a role which he continues to fulfill in the present day, with the series currently in its fourth season.
It might surprise some fans of the series to know that his accent is originally British and his hair blonde, contrary to his appearance in the series. Bamber is married actress Kerry Norton in September, and the couple have three daughters: Isla Elizabeth Angela Griffith, and twins Darcy and Ava. More recently, he's guest-starred in the TV sereis, "Cold Case" and "Ghost Whisperer".
