Jamie Foreman, precisely 5ft 6 (167.6 cm) tall, is an English actor whose compact height intensifies his gritty, intimidating presence in tough-guy roles.
Born in Bermondsey, London, he brings raw authenticity to characters like the menacing Duke in Layer Cake (2004), brutal Bill Sikes in Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist (2005), and east-end hardman Derek Branning in TV soap EastEnders. His stature suits the streetwise gangsters in Gangster No. 1 and Nil by Mouth, echoing his real-life roots as son of south London gangster Freddie Foreman.
