Jeremy
Bulloch
 
Jeremy Bulloch was born on February 16, 1945 in Market Harborough, Leicestershire,
England. He was one of six children. He knew at an early age that his desire to act and sing was
strong, since he was five he's been on stage. At eleven Bulloch failed a school
exam because most of his energy and focus went towards acting.
Bulloch attended the the Corona Academy Drama School and made his first professional appearance
at twelve in a cereal commercial.
Bulloch had many appearances on children's TV but his break came when he got a major part in a musical film, Summer Holiday, with Cliff Richard.
Sometime in the early 60's he attended Brown University in the US. Soon after he landed a role in a BBC soap opera called
The Newcomers, it ran for 3 years, it was very popular, so much so that it made him a household name in 1969. He then went on to play the lead role in Las Leandras (in Madrid, Spain).
This lead to two major films: The Virgin and The Gypsy
and Mary Queen of Scots.
Bulloch made quite a few appearances in the 70's including the James Bond films as 'Smithers' (Q's assistant). In 1977 he spent six months filming a BBC documentary called The Sadrina Project.
(in Singapore,
Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia)
It was a documentary on the teaching of English to people in the Far East, mostly the Chinese. Bulloch said, on a return
trip to China, 15 years later (for a stage play) that he was immediately recognized by hundreds of people who said they had
learned English from The Sadrina Project.
He was starring in a popular
TV Series in 1978 called Agony.
During this series he was asked to play, Boba Fett, a small
part in a sequel to Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back.
Then invited to reprise the role in Return of the Jedi.
Since the 80's he's played many roles on TV, done two world tours, done West End, and a regular on Robin of Sherwood.
His son Robbie also appeared on the same program. Bulloch has three sons all grown and lives with his wife Maureen and
Percy (their black cat), in London.
Jeremy Bulloch is the half brother of Robert
Watts.
