Jacob Anderson will portray Louis de Pointe du Lac on "Interview with a Vampire," and he's had his share of notable roles dating back more than a decade. Born in Bristol, England, Anderson's earliest roles were on British series and TV movies, including single-episode appearances in the Birmingham-set medical series "Doctors," the police drama "The Bill," and the supernatural "Primeval." He collaborated twice with director Noel Clarke, appearing in his 2008 film "Adulthood" and the 2010 follow-up "4.3.2.1" alongside Emma Roberts. In the former project, Anderson — who is a musician as well as an actor — was also featured on the soundtrack (via IMDb).
In 2011, Anderson secured his first recurring role in the miniseries "Injustice." The five-part drama stars James Purefoy as Will Travers, a criminal defense lawyer living in the Suffolk countryside after having left London — and the mental and emotional scars of a murder case — a year prior. For three episodes, Anderson appears as Simon, a loud-mouthed juvenile delinquent at the Young Offenders' Center at which Will's wife, Jane (Dervla Kirwan), is a counselor.
