Jack Lowden: The actor who has made success a running theme

He says he’s delighted with the Emmy nomination for Slow Horses.

“Normally as an actor you’re not supposed to even acknowledge you’ve been nominated but I’m dead chuffed,” he says.

“It’s a nice thing to feel that people are enjoying what we are making and what we work very hard to do.

“It’s not just me – the show has had multiple nominations across the board. We are all delighted because a lot of people work incredibly hard to make that show. So I am loving it.”

And for all the accolades and awards, Jack Lowden hasn’t forgotten where he came from, or some of his earliest roles.

If Black Watch was a rite of passage for every young stage actor of his generation, Scotland’s other national drink offered him an even earlier screen role.

In 2009, he appeared in an advert for Irn Bru, a spoof of High School Musical.

“There’s always a fantastic moment when I am on a film set and the crew find it and you can just see folk in a group with their shoulders going up and down. Because it was ridiculous.

“I was 19 and I was so excited to do it and it did seem like a rite of passage because some of those adverts were works of art and had that brilliant typical cynical sense of humour and I’m immensely proud of it.”

So it seems his acting roots areone thing he’s not running away from…

The Fifth Step is at the Edinburgh International Festival until Sunday 25 August and the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow from 28 August to 3 September.
