Jason Clarke is an Australian actor who was born and raised in Winton, Queensland. He started off his career in acting with many minor television and film roles. Clarke had a breakthrough television role as the co-star of the crime drama television series "Brotherhood" (2006-2008). Since 2012, Clarke has appeared in several of Hollywood's highest-profile movies, including the Academy Award-winning "Zero Dark Thirty," for which Clarke was nominated for a Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, and director Baz Luhrmann's star-studded period drama, "The Great Gatsby" in 2013. Clarke quickly established himself as one of Hollywood's most in-demand character actors.

Clarke is one of Hollywood's favorite antagonists. His film roles include White House Down (2013), Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014), Terminator Genisys (2015), Everest (2015), Mudbound (2017), Chappaquiddick (2017), First Man (2018), and Pet Sematary (2019). To those that have watched him on screen in the United States, the fact that Jason Clarke was born and raised on a sheep farm in Queensland, Australia may come as somewhat of a shock. Known for being that rare form of actor who completely absorbs the characters he's playing, Clarke spends hours on end listening to real people talking in an effort to mask his Australian accent and fully encapsulate his various on-screen personas.
