Jack Lee was born in London, England in 1956. He attended the Webber Douglas Acadamy of Dramatic Art in 1979 and worked in theatre and TV in the UK before moving to the US in 1997 with just a suitcase and guitar and $350 in cash.

He worked as a chimney sweep in Santa Fe, New Mexico, before moving to Austin, Texas, where he picked up his acting career again.

Apart from appearing in various films, he's also working on screenplays of his own, as well as writing about his experiences surviving in America, and producing the documentaries "Conversations with Sara Jane" and "Real Men".

He now divides his time between his home in Santa Fe with his wife, 2 cats, 2 dogs and 60 chickens, and Los Angeles.
