Biography of Paul Blackthorne

Paul Blackthorne is a British actor in film, television, and radio. He was born on March 5, 1969, in Wellington, Shropshire, England. Blackthorne quickly began his career by appearing in English commercials. He gained fame from a commercial for the airline company "Virgin Atlantic," which became very popular. This led to numerous offers for roles in commercials, primarily on radio.

Early Career

Blackthorne made his first appearance on the big screen playing Captain Andrew Russell in the Academy Award-nominated Hollywood film "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India." In order to prepare for this role, Blackthorne spent six months learning Hindi. Shortly after completing the film's production in Gujarat, India, the town was devastated by an earthquake, almost completely leveling it. The building where the film's actors were staying during the shoot was also destroyed. To raise money for earthquake relief, Blackthorne organized a photo exhibition in London featuring his own work.

He starred in Brett Easton Ellis' film "This Is Not an Exit: The Fictional World of Bret Easton Ellis" and played the lead role in the British film "The Truth Game." Blackthorne's last significant role was as Jonas Exiler in the film "Special" (2006) alongside Michael Rapaport.
