Lennie James has become a familiar face on British TV, but international viewers will know him as Morgan Jones in The Walking Dead franchise
Nottingham's very own Lennie James has been a familiar face on British TV for many years. Trained in London, he featured in popular series such as Line Of Duty, Jericho, Spooks, and Save Me.
"He's also a contradiction - loyal but disloyal, a good and bad husband, a good and bad father, a good and bad man. Although he showed some interest in rugby, it was the theatre that truly captivated him. He completed his studies at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1988 and has been consistently employed in the industry since then.
Lennie James' US breakthrough with The Walking Dead He is perhaps best known for his role as Morgan Jones in The Walking Dead franchise, becoming an immediate fan favourite from his first appearance in the pilot episode. But the years that followed, and the upbringing he received, he says, have led him to conclude that the “generosity of strangers” helped make him the person he is now. "The fear and vulnerability of going into care is etched in my memory,” Lennie said.
