Jamie Foreman is one of Britain's most iconic actors. He is also the son of Britain's most notorious gangster Freddie Foreman. Jamie's life has been anything but ordinary. Right from the start his world was one of contrast & contradiction: he grew up surrounded by London's criminal elite living by their code of honor & respect yet he himself was brought up to be a straight goer." The backdrop of his home life was to differ greatly from his time at school as at seven years old Jamie found himself in the unlikely surroundings of a boarding school. The happiness of his family & school life was snatched from Jamie when his father was sentenced to ten years in prison for his involvement in the killing of Jack " The Hat" Mc Vitie. The subsequent years saw Jamie without the father he adored & the whole family was put under enormous strain. At 14 Jamie decided that his passion was for acting & having been encouraged by Barbara Windsor he discovered yet another new environment at the Italia Conti Stage School. Jamie thrived in the acting world & was soon enjoying success on both stage & screen. By the time of his dad's release from prison Jamie had carved a "straight" career for himself--but after years apart there was plenty of lost time to make up for. Soon he was dividing his time between acting & assisting with Freddie's "business." Whether on the streets or on the stage there was never a dull moment; Jamie was living life at 100 miles an hour & loving it. Before long though life took a surprising turn when a drug deal his father was heavily involved in went tragically wrong & he was forced to go on the run to America with his dad which marked the start of a whole new adventure."
