Jacob Dudman
Jacob Dudman is an actor, born 1997.
Voice came first. Alongside the on-camera work, Jacob Dudman has played the title role in Big Finish's Doctor Who audio dramas, which is one of the harder jobs in British audio: carrying a character the audience associates with other people's voices, in a medium where the voice is the only thing there is.
On screen he has done well out of a particular kind of casting. He was Giulio de Medici in Medici: Masters of Florence, Osbert in The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die (2023), Thomas Price in the Netflix mystery The Stranger (2020), Sam Harvey across Fate: The Winx Saga from 2021 to 2022, and Dev in the BBC iPlayer series The A List (2018). It is a young British actor's resume of a very specific type, with period drama, teen genre and streaming thriller in roughly equal measure, and enough of each that no single one has defined him yet.
The animation is where the range shows. He voices Charles and Stevens on Primal and an Ancient Egypt role on Unicorn: Warriors Eternal (2023), both adult animation with a strong house style and no interest in naturalism. Ahead of him is the biggest job so far: Dr. Asher Green in the revived Scrubs, the show's first new season in sixteen years, which puts a British actor in his twenties at the centre of an American network comedy with a long memory. The Choral (2025) is the most recent film credit.

Where to start with Jacob Dudman
Pick The Stranger if you want the straightforward version: a tight Netflix mystery where Dudman has a real thread to play and the plotting carries the rest. It is also the easiest thing on this page to finish in a weekend.
Medici: Masters of Florence is the better acting showcase, with the period costume forcing a stiller, more watchful performance out of him than any of the contemporary work asks for. The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die is a single film rather than a whole season, so it is the cheap way to see him in that register.
Primal and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal cover the voice work, which is genuinely the strongest thing here, and the second is the stranger and prettier of the two. Fate: The Winx Saga and Scrubs are the mainstream entry points, in that order, and The Choral is the recent film.
