Jason Clarke Bio
JASON CLARKE
Date of Birth: July 17, 1969
A native of Australia, Jason Clarke has come a long way from his sheep sheering days as a child, graduating from the University of Melbourne, Victorian College of the Arts in 1994.
After graduation, Clarke spent most of his time in the theater, including working on a production of The Blind Giant Is Dancing in 2005. A year later he made the jump to television with his first recurring role on Australia's Mercury.
Keeping a steady pace, Clarke then progressed to the big screen in Dilemma (1997) before taking a brief, reminiscent step back in time to direct a number of stage shows, including a musical version of A Clockwork Orange and Love and Understanding.
Throughout his career Clarke has bounced back and forth between the big and small screen, having lead roles in TV shows Brotherhood and The Chicago Code as well as appearing in films such as Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002), Death Race (2008) with Jason Statham and Texas Killing Fields (2011) alongside Sam Worthington and Chloe Grace Moretz.
Since his largest TV role to date on the aforementioned Brotherhood, Clarke has steadily appeared in films boasting high profile casts. These include Public Enemies (2009) with Christian Bale and Johnny Depp, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) with Shia LaBeouf and Michael Douglas, Trust (2011) with Clive Owen and Lawless (2012) with Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman.
He has starred in a number of films, including Zero Dark Thirty (2012) with Chris Pratt and Jessica Chastain, The Great Gatsby (2013) with Leonardo DiCaprio and Isla Fisher, White House Down (2013) with co-stars Channing Tatum and Maggie Gyllenhaal and Terminator Genisys (2015) with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Emilia Clarke.
