Jamie Bamber
Jamie St John Bamber Griffith (born 3 April 1973) is an English/Irish/American actor, known for his roles as Lee Adama in Battlestar Galactica and Detective Sergeant Matt Devlin in the ITV series Law & Order: UK. He also had a supporting role in the Hornblower series and was a regular on the British series Ultimate Force and Peak Practice. In 2013, Bamber starred in the TNT medical drama Monday Mornings, and in 2014, in the Sky 1 drama The Smoke.
Jamie Bamber provides examples of the following tropes:
- Blue Eyes
- Chronically-Killed Actor/Dead Star Walking: His characters tend to get killed off--in two instances (on Cold Case and Ghost Whisperer), the character he played was *already* dead when the show started
- Cunning Linguist: Speaks fluent French, Italian, can pull off an American accent so convincingly that many people are genuinely shocked to learn that he's British, and can even give his British accent an Irish tinge (as he did on Law and Order UK)
- Fake American: He's adopted an American accent for nearly all of his US TV appearances.
- Estrogen Brigade Bait: He tends to be this in most of the productions he stars in.
- Shirtless Scene: His best known one is the famous towel scene from Battlestar Galactica, but there are quite a few others, all very nice, indeed.
