Jaimz Woolvett

Very little is known about Jaimz Woolvett's first steps into acting, we could assume like his brother he was taken to the summer drama club, but a rumour finally confirmed as true - that he started acting after seeing his brother's pay check for doing an advert for McDonalds, compared to his own actually selling the burgers - convinced him that acting was a better pursuit.

It was in 1990 that Jaimz had his first break when he was cast in the sitcom 'Dog House' as the lead, a role that saw him staring opposite a dog and get nominated for a Young Artists Award.  Jaimz's big break then followed when he won the role of 'The Schofield Kid' in 'Unforgiven', having decided not to audition for a bit part but go for the role as the cocky kid, and after several rounds the role was his.

Once the film wrapped, Jaimz immediately headed off to Hollywood under the assumption he would be known, a decision in hindsight was a little pre-emptive.  Even with a film like Unforgiven to his name, it had not yet been released and wouldn't be for another year, so he found himself struggling to find work and when the chance for the lead in a TV show came up, he set off to New Zealand to star in 'White Fang'.  As a result, Jaimz was out of the country when the calls did start to come in off the back of 'Unforgiven' finally being released to critical acclaim.

When he did return, Jaimz continued to work and made a number of films including 'Dead Presidents', 'The Guilty', 'Boogie Boy', 'Beautiful Joe', 'Rock My World' and 'Milgaard', the latter earning him a Gemini nomination in 1999 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role.

Jaimz still continues to act and can also be seen in his local area playing sets on guitar. He has also started encouraging would be writers to present their works in 'Open Mike Write' evenings, as well as encouraging the younger generation into acting and performance.
