Book James Purefoy
James Purefoy is an English actor known for commanding, charismatic roles in historical epics and prestige television. He played Marcus Antonius in HBO's Rome, Nick Jenkins in A Dance to the Music of Time and the chilling professor turned serial killer Joe Carroll in Fox's The Following. He took the title role in the sword-and-sorcery film Solomon Kane (2009), played Hap Collins in Sundance's Hap and Leonard, and led season one of Netflix's Altered Carbon as Laurens Bancroft. Later credits include A Discovery of Witches and Pennyworth. His film work includes Mansfield Park (1999), A Knight's Tale (2001), Vanity Fair (2004), Ironclad (2011) and Masters of the Universe (2026), and he appeared in Camelot and Richard II (2012). Purefoy's foundation is the stage: he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988, appearing in Macbeth, The Tempest and King Lear, and later took on Laertes in a Bristol Old Vic Hamlet and Biff in Death of a Salesman alongside Jude Law. He brings classical gravitas, a rich voice and a deep catalogue of fan-favorite roles.
