Jamey May was born in London, the daughter of a French-Scandinavian mother and English-Irish father. Self described as "adventurous, independent and a little crazy", at the age of 11 Jamey begged her dad to participate in a radio presenting competition that was happening for the BBC, while he was at the Ideal Home Exhibition in London; she ended up winning the competition and continued to do various stints on TV and radio with her bubbly, infectious personality. Jamey worked as a model from there on, until she was invited by a friend to do an acting class with Sharon Harris who, much to Jamey's surprise immediately asked her to join as a client under the Harris agency. Jamey spent the next two years honing her acting skills, training with various techniques and coaches in London including Dee Cannon, Giles Foreman, Ivana Chubbuck and finally her only teacher now, Tom Radcliffe who teaches the Meisner technique, directly from his lessons as a pupil of Sanford Meisner. Jamey got cast in mystery thriller Ligatures (2014) co-directed by Ed Bazelgette funded by Vodafone, which set the tone for the roles she booked thereafter; the very likeable girl, with an underlying mysterious and sometimes devious streak. Soon after, Director Mark Schwahn cast Jamey in her first audition for Lionsgate's The Royals (2015) who called her 'a very talented egg' and told her that she had a great acting career ahead of her. Jamey worked on and has been filming Independent British short Detach (2015) and features White Colour Black (2016), Homeless Ashes, _Lucid_. Jamey practices Tae-Kwando, Krav Maga, David Lynch's transcendental meditation and yoga. She is also trained as a dancer and singer, loves traveling, horse riding, any form of art, sport, or anything fast and adrenaline filled. Philanthropy is a big part of Jamey May's life. Through her art she wishes to tackle current issues and struggles in the world, namely people being free of themselves, doing what they truly want to do in life. Along with director David Lynch she believes transcendental meditation can aid this. Show less «
