How did Jaimz/Gordon get into acting?
A: (source: mythmakers interview) Gordon started going to acting workshops during school holidays spare time, and was playing the lead in a production of Oliver when an agent signed him up.
(source: rumour/unconfirmed) Jaimz was working at Mcdonalds when his brother did an advert for the same company, they compared pay checks and Jaimz decided acting was the way to go.
Update: Jaimz confirmed this rumour was true in the summer fan chat, August 2007.

A: (source: online chat/imdb messageboard) It’s not his birth name, he changed the spelling aged 15/16 to be different and unique amongst all the James in the world.
Back to Top
A: (Source: Jipster) I have always assumed its spelling errors.

Where can I purchase Woolvett dvds?
A: (Source: Jipster) Typing ‘Woolvett’ into most good online dvd stores like Amazon will usually bring up plenty of results and options on what you can purchase. Also try Ebay for those harder to find films/tv shows that sometimes appear in the listings. For more details on whether a title is even available, visit both bros's Filmography pages and be sure to note the comments on that titles dedicated page, if there is one (only titles I have seen/own currently have their own page).

Where can I write to either Jaimz or Gordon for autographs?
A: (Source: Jipster) At this time I honestly don’t know the best addresses to write to, in order to request autographs, although Jaimz Woolvett's agents address is now listed on his biography page.
Both the autographs I display on this site were obtained in person and involved a bit of travelling (at least in Jaimz’s case all the way to California *but wasn’t my sole purpose of travelling… give me some credit hehe!*, with Gordon it was a little closer to home, about 20 minutes away in fact at a convention in London).

Will Gordon or Jaimz be attending any Conventions this year?
A: (Source: Jipster) at the time of writing no dates are confirmed, but always keep checking the Conventions page for Gordon to see if there are updates to this.
Update: Gordon attended Dragoncon in August 2007.
(Source: Jipster) Jaimz has stated that Conventions are not his thing and so its highly unlikely we’ll see him at a Convention.

Which brother is the eldest and what are their birth dates?
A: (Source: Jipster) Jaimz is the eldest brother being born on April 14th 1967 and Gordon is younger by three years being born on July 12th 1970.
Back to Top
Are both Jaimz and Gordon married? Family?
A: (Source: Jipster/various interviews/online chats) Both Jaimz and Gordon are happily married, both with two children each.
Back to Top
Are either of the brothers musically inclined?
A: (source: Jipster/Empire Magazine interview) Both brothers are keen musicians by all accounts. Jaimz has stated in an interview that he plays acoustic sets in bars around Long Beach and Gordon has been mentioned by co-stars as being very talented musically, and seen to play the guitar/singing between filming.
Update: You can listen to two of Jaimz Woolvett's music tracks here

Where does the name ‘Woolvett’ originate from?
A: (Source: Jipster/GMW online chat) Gordon and Jaimz’s family line apparently originates from Scotland, their grandfather was adopted and that is how they came by the name Woolvett, which is an Anglo-Saxon name meaning Great Wulf which might explain why Jaimz got on so well with White Fang.

Did Jaimz have a brain tumour?
A: (Source: Jipster/JW Online chat/Empire Magazine/Calgery Herald) Jaimz was diagnosed with a brain tumour I believe in 2002, in an online chat he mentioned that he has since had both hips replaced as a result of incurable bone disease and has also suffered loss of hearing to one ear.
Update: In a Calgery Herald interview (August 2007) further details about his illness was revealed and is available to read on this site.

Do they come from a showbiz family?
A: (Source: Jipster/Mythmakers interview) No, as far as I’m aware they are the only members of the family who have entered the world of showbiz for a living.
Back to Top
A: (Source: Jipster) yes, they have a sister who is presumed older.

Does Jaimz still speak to Clint Eastward and does Gordon keep in touch with the Andromeda cast?
A: (Source: Jipster/GMW online chat) No idea with Jaimz, but since Andromeda finished Kevin Sorbo and Laura Bertram have both stated in interviews or at conventions that they still talk to Gordon, are in contact with him. Gordon recently stated he had seen Lexa Doig and Steve Bacic at an audition.

Who owns Gordon’s worst Harper shirt from Andromeda? (constantly asked by Parisindy)
A: (Source: Jipster) I do, now bog off, you can’t have it!
Back to Top
Is Gordon still bald/sans hair/skin head/minus spikes?
A: (Source: Jipster) No idea, the picture on the homepage of Gordon without his almost trademark ‘Harper’ hair is still the latest head shot I know of, and first appeared around June 2006 to the dismay of fans who lit candles and mourned for five whole days.
update: As of August 2007 I can confirm the hair is back... as seen at Dragoncon, now you can all stop crying.
