Over the next three years, Blackley Jamie starred in several inconspicuous supporting roles. However, the actor did not give up hope that in the end the finest hour would come, and he would be invited to the main role in the film of the famous director.
Mark and Rachel

"If I stay?"
In 2014, Blackley Jamie starred in another major role. It was a character named Adam in the movie directed by Jay Cutler, entitled "Should I Stay?"
