I am disappointed in Jack, and I've seen enough of this actress on Industry to know that she doesn't have the range.

I just read recently that Jack can't get certain jobs because of his past effecting his ability to get work visas. But still. This was not a good choice.

whats past?

From his wiki:

As a youth, O'Connell was in and out of court on charges related to alcohol and violence, and he received a one-year young offender's referral order when he was 17.

After his father died when O'Connell was 18, he coped in part by engaging in self-destructive behaviour, later commenting that he "didn't stop partying for like seven years".

O'Connell's troubled youth has influenced his work, resulting in him playing mainly delinquents for the first decade of his career, while his juvenile criminal record initially prevented him from being cast in Hollywood productions as he was unable to obtain a U.S. visa.
