There's a birthday in the
Primeval tv series family today.
Happy Birthday to
Jason Flemyng today!
Jason is the talented actor who played Danny Quinn in Series 3 of the
Primeval tv series, and who reprised the role in Series 4 a couple of times. Jason, who turns 56 years of age today, has a pretty impressive CV in movies and tv, appearing in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Snatch (2000), Rob Roy (1995), From Hell (2001), and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003). He's done some prominent work in both theatre and television in the UK (check out the link above). He also speaks fluent French. A lot of tv and science fiction fans remember him for his work on
Primeval UK, though he's done a lot of other work, too. One of his more memorable turns of recent years was as the villainous Vadim in The Musketeers (2014).
I can't say that Danny Quinn was one of my favourite characters in
Primeval, but I certainly warmed to him by the end of Series 3, and was sorry to see him depart. His reappearance in Series 4 came as quite a surprise, a pleasant one.
So here's wishing Jason Flemyng a terrific birthday today!
