Jonas Armstrong
Born on January 1, 1981, in Dublin, Ireland, Jonas Armstrong is a versatile actor best known for his breakthrough role as the title character in the BBC series Robin Hood (2006–2009). Raised in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), graduating in 2003. Armstrong has since built a reputation for intense, gritty performances across various genres, notably appearing alongside Tom Cruise in the sci-fi blockbuster Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and leading various acclaimed British dramas such as The Bay (2019) and Floodlights (2022). In 2026, he stars in the James Bamford-directed action thriller The Internship, playing the role of Vlad Kurchenko. This project continues his recent streak of high-tension roles following his 2024 appearances in the mystery thriller After the Flood and the crime miniseries Coma. Known for his athletic ability and "nerve-bulging intensity," Armstrong often performs many of his own stunts, a skill he has carried from his days as a bow-wielding outlaw to his modern roles as complex anti-heroes and antagonists.
