Early life

His father was from an Orthodox Jewish family that moved to France in the 1950s;[6] Jackson-Cohen has stated they were of Egyptian Jewish and Tunisian Jewish descent.[7]

Jackson-Cohen attended a French-language school, and says he has a slight French accent.[8][9]

He attended the Youngblood Theatre Company during weekends, then began washing vases for a florist as a job to financially support himself between auditions.[10] He attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City due to not getting into drama school in London. His aim was to "do a foundational year and then reapply in London" but left after four months because he was offered a job.[11]

Jackson-Cohen landed a small role in the television series Hollyoaks when he was 15,[12] and he later appeared in the ITV series The Time of Your Life in 2007.[13] In 2008, he played Phillip White in the BBC adaptation of Lark Rise to Candleford[13] and in the first episode of Bonekickers. He also played Marcus in the short film The Rooftopsmiths by Len Rowles with Natasha Freeman as Imogen and Philip Marden as Joel.[14] In 2010, he played Damon in the romantic comedy film Going the Distance starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.[15] and a hitman in the action film Faster, opposite Dwayne Johnson.

It was announced in July 2014 that he would star opposite Sarah Snook in the 2015 ABC convict miniseries The Secret River, an adaptation of Kate Grenville's 2005 novel of the same name.[27][28] In 2015, Jackson-Cohen also starred in The Healer as Alec Bailey.[29] In the same year, Jackson-Cohen was cast as Lucas in Emerald City, a television series that re-imagined the novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L.

Jackson-Cohen next starred opposite Elisabeth Moss in the science fiction horror film The Invisible Man, portraying the titular role;[36] the film was released in 2020 to positive reviews.[37] He later stated that the press tour for the film was difficult because it began just three days after his father had died.[38]

In 2021, he appeared in the drama film The Lost Daughter, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.[39] In 2022, he co-starred in the romantic regency comedy Mr. Malcolm's List, a film adaptation of the novel of the same name.[40] In June 2021 it was announced that he would star in the upcoming Apple TV+ series Surface playing the character of James Ellis.[41] The series premiered on July 29 to mixed critical reviews, though Jackson-Cohen's performance generally received critical praise.[42]

Personal life

Jackson-Cohen resides in London.[39] In 2017 he stated in an Instagram post that he has been formally diagnosed with PTSD which stems from childhood abuse.[44] He has said that he used his experiences to inform his performance in The Haunting of Hill House.[45] "I was diagnosed with PTSD a couple of years ago so all of that is in there with Luke - and it felt incredibly cathartic to be able to kind of put it all out there and be there."[46] He dated Jessica De Gouw, his co-star on Dracula.[47][48]
