Since making his professional stage debut in the National Theatre of Scotland's critically-acclaimed play Black Watch in 2010, Jack Lowden has become a major star.
Born in Essex, Jack Lowden grew up in the Borders village of Oxton and was educated at Earlston High School.
He was just 10 when his parents enrolled him in Edinburgh's Scottish Youth Theatre and his first break came when he was cast in an Irn Bru advert, before he won the lead role in the revival of smash hit play Black Watch which toured the UK and the USA to huge acclaim.
Since then he's made a string of feature films, while continuning to appear in theatre productions and taking television roles.
His career to date has earned him a Olivier Award and two Scottish Bafta Awards.
He’s gained a new army of fans - and two Emmy nominations - thanks to his role in spy drama Slow Horses, acting opposite Gary Oldman.
And now he is one of the favourites to take over from Daniel Craig as James Bond, with The Rest is Entertainment host Richard Osman seemingly confident he’s bagged the career-defining part.
Here are all 16 feature films he's starred in to date.
