Jerome Blake / Biography

Blake debuted as an actor with a small part as one of the knights guarding Sean Connery in First Knight (1995). One or two years later, while Blake had his own band, friend Nick Dudman called him on the phone and said: "You know that stuff we did on Fifth Element ?" Blake said yes, and then Allder said "I'm doing Star Wars now, do you want to be in ?" Blake -a Star Wars fan since he saw the first movie on its opening day back in 1977- immediately said yes. A year later he was playing six different characters in "Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace".
