Jack Donnelly is an actor who started appearing on television in the early 2010s, but his breakout role came when he starred as Jason in BBC's "Atlantis" series, which ran for two seasons. During his stint on the show, Donnelly shot a spicy photo spread for Attitude's sex issue and spoke about being approached by fans. "I am starting to get recognised, but only because people come up to me and go 'Are you Lee Mead?!'" Donnelly told the publication.
Unfortunately for the "Atlantis" star, the series was cut short. Donnelly did not play coy and admitted he was "gutted" when he learned the news. "I loved that job — it was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me," he told Digital Spy in 2015. Although the Brit was best-known for his dramatic acting in the series, the majority of his background was in lighter fare. "I've always thought I could come back to comedy at some point," he told Digital Spy while contemplating his post-"Atlantis" career.
In 2017, Donnelly starred in a Hallmark movie as Prince Adrian in "A Royal Winter," but soon after returned to his comedic roots. He teamed up with Malin Akerman in 2020's "Friendsgiving," where they shot a raunchy sex scene together. "It's a really, kind of, intimate, crazy scene, and so thank God we know each other well," she told "The Talk" in 2020, via Entertainment Tonight Canada. That "intimate" shoot was not the real-life couple's last collaboration.
