Who's Who

Neil Jackson (Executive Producer - Film and Television)
An English writer and actor, Neil started his professional acting career in London’s West End, playing the role of Jean in the 2001 production of Strindberg’s Miss Julie. Since then, Neil has appeared in several renowned British television series including Heartbeat, Ultimate Force, Silent Witness and Red Cap, before Oliver Stone cast him in the role of Perdiccas, Alexander’s infantry general, in the historical epic, Alexander. This propelled Neil onto an international stage, earning him the title of 'one to watch' by Universal Studios in their yearly breakdown of who's who in the industry.

Roles in flagship US shows such as Cold Case and CSI for Warner Bros and Universal Studios helped support Universal's prediction, along with his critically acclaimed performance as Marcus Van Skiver, nemesis to the title character in Spike TV’s Blade: The Series. Neil's other acting credits include Woody Allen's You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, the Marc Forster directed Quantum Of Solace, and the BBC revival of Upstairs Downstairs.

As a writer Neil is also gaining notoriety. In 2006 Neil wrote and starred in the Moroccan thriller The Passage alongside Stephen Dorff. Paper Dragon Productions co-produced the film with Lynette Howell at Silverwood Films (Half Nelson, Blue Valentine). The Passage premiered at the 2007 Toronto Film Festival, and won the Durango Film Festival Jury Award for best picture. Neil's second produced feature, Star Crossed, was shot in Portugal in 2009.
