Paul Blackthorne (March 5, 1969) is a British actor on film, television, and radio. Although born in Shorpshire, England, he spent his early childhood on British Military bases in both England and Germany.[1] Blackthorne broke into acting via television commercials in England. His breakthrough commercial in the UK came in the Grim Reaper commercial for Virgin Atlantic, which was hugely successful. Numerous radio commercials followed.
Film
Blackthorne's first silver screen success was as Captain Andrew Russell in the Oscar-nominated Bollywood movie, Lagaan. He spent six months learning Hindi for the role. Shortly after filming finished in India, the town where filming took place was levelled by an earthquake, including the apartment building in which the cast of Lagaan was staying. To assist the earthquake victims, Blackthorne exhibited his photography in a special show in London.
He also starred in Mindcrime and the festival-winning indie feature length film, Four Corners of Suburbia, winner of both the Crossroads Film Festival in Best Narrative Feature (2006) and in the category of Best Composer at the Avignon Film Festival, Avignon, France (2006).
Additional indie film credits include Bret Easton Ellis's This is Not an Exit, and a starring role in the British movie, The Truth Game. Paul's most recent indie film role is "Jonas Exiler" in Special, with Michael Rapaport.
