Biography

Who Is Jack Farthing?

Jack Farthing was born in North London, England in 1985 and is 40 years old. Credited on films since 2010, as an actor. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.

Jack Farthing (born 14 October 1985) is a British actor whose career has spanned stage, television, and film. Raised in North London as the son of gastroenterologist Michael Farthing, he attended The Hall School in Hampstead before moving to the prestigious Westminster School. His academic path led him to study History of Art at St Catherine's College, Oxford, where he cultivated a deep appreciation for visual storytelling, a foundation that later informed his nuanced performances. After Oxford, he refined his craft at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, emerging as a versatile talent capable of navigating both period dramas and contemporary comedies.

Farthing first gained widespread attention as Freddie Threepwood in the BBC adaptation Blandings (2013–2014), showcasing his ability to blend humor with a genteel air. He cemented his reputation with the intense portrayal of George Warleggan, the scheming antagonist in Poldark (2015–2019), a role that earned him critical praise for its layered villainy. Subsequent film work includes The Riot Club (2014) as George Balfour, the Netflix romantic comedy Love Wedding Repeat (2020) as Marc Fisher, and a striking turn as Charles, Prince of Wales in the 2021 biopic Spencer. In 2025 he expanded into mystery television, playing the estranged nephew of Angelica Huston’s matriarch in the BBC three‑part series Towards Zero, an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel. Off‑screen, Farthing is in a relationship with actress‑writer Hanako Footman, reflecting a personal life rooted in the creative community. His ongoing projects continue to demonstrate a commitment to diverse storytelling, making him a notable figure in contemporary British acting.
