Jack Lowden is not your average screen presence. Scotland-born, he's played only roles that challenge, provoke, and compel him from the get-go. Whatever his casting, whether into the shoes of historical fiagures or particularly knotty fictional characters, Lowden has built a brand as meticulous and thoroughly dedicated to his work. The range of his credits is evidence of the wide and far-ranging extent of his talent.a
Recent times have seen Jack Lowden build lasting acclaim on television and in the cinema to position him as the most low-key, reliable actor in British entertainment. Not only have his projects attracted significant acclaim from critics, but they have also played a significant role in projects that cut across genres and formats.a
The following is a list of five of his finest works, titles that continue to demand the attention of viewers by the potency of their storytelling and richness of characterizations that he brings on screen.
Here are 5 Jack Lowden TV shows and movies that definitely deserve the top spots on your watchlist
1. Slow Horses (2022–present)
Slow Horses stars Jack Lowden as the character of River Cartwright, a British intelligence officer who has to push through the bureaucratic morass of MI5's most uninspired department. The series, set from Mick Herron's books, is a captivating blend of politics, intrigue, and flawed characters.
Lowden's character is also a polar contrast to Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb, so there is tension and richness in the plot. His character is also an extension of the series' critical examination of institutional collapse and reparation.
2. Dunkirk (2017)
Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, with Jack Lowden playing pilot Collins, who is one of the principal actors in the aerial battle scene of the film. The narrative avoids individual history, so there is a lot of conveying for actors like Lowden to do in terms of action, reaction, and little speech.
The tense-terrified, non-linear structure of the film is ideally suited to Lowden's flat, unpretentious acting of a man who persists regardless of the state of continued peril. It is one of his biggest international film roles.
3. Benediction (2021)
Jack Lowden plays the role of Welsh soldier and poet Siegfried Sassoon in Benediction. The movie broaches Sassoon's private and professional demons, i.e., his adultery and what went down before and after World War I.
Peter Capaldi plays the older Sassoon, while Lowden plays the younger one, a two-performance deployment for a lifetime of winning and losing and causing harm. His existence is full of emotional awareness and suppressed energy.
4. The Long Song (2018)
Jack Lowden is Robert Goodwin, an English plantation overseer, on the cusp of the abolition of slavery, in the BBC TV adaptation of Andrea Levy's book. The miniseries is equally callous in dismantling colonialism. Lowden's performance is both a producer and a repudiation of the colonial order, further obscuring already questionable narratives.
He walks a thin line between hope and naivety in a world that has very little space for either.
5. Tommy's Honour (2016)
Tommy's Honour features Jack Lowden as the legendary golfer and son of the great greenkeeper Old Tom Morris. The film dramatizes the class conflict and generation conflict that was the game's history in Scotland during the 19th century. Lowden's performance as the ambitious and doomed young golfer was rewarded with a BAFTA Scotland Award for Best Actor.
His performance is a witness to a generation conflict and implies preliminary acclimations of working-class professionals within a developing sport of the time.
