Jim Sturgess Biography

Jim Sturgess enrolled at London's renowned National Youth Music Theatre where he performed in musical and dramatic productions nabbing his first small film role in the remake of The Browning Version (1994) from director Mike Figgis. Sturgess was also singing and playing guitar with bands at local pubs. Following his graduation he began to build a resume with roles in British television and radio productions including an appearance in the popular Quest series (YTV 2002 2004) about three London lads sowing their wild oats. But when he heard about auditions for Broadway director Julie Taymor's Beatles-inspired musical Across the Universe his music and acting worlds seemed ready to fuse into one. In Taymor's inventive film Sturgess played Jude the sensitive artistic central character of a magical mystery tour through 1960s America as woven together by 33 Beatles classics. Critics singled out his charismatic performance with The New York Times noting that Sturgess evokes rather than impersonates. And he never breaks character in his songs performing them with such deceptively casual ease that they seem like a natural extension of his speech.
