Keira Knightley may soon be playing Mrs. Jack Ryan.
The actress is in negotiations to star alongside Chris Pine in the upcoming action thriller “Jack Ryan”
Keira Christina Knightley was born in the South London suburb of Richmond on March 26th 1985. She is the daughter of actor Will Knightley and actress turned playwright Sharman Macdonald.
Her first multi-scene performance came in A Village Affair (1995) (TV), an adaptation of the lesbian love story by Joanna Trollope. This was followed by small parts in the British crime series “The Bill” (1984), an exiled German princess in The Treasure Seekers (1996) (TV) and a much more substantial role as the young “Judith Dunbar” in Giles Foster’s adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher’s novel Coming Home (1998) (TV), alongside Peter O’Toole, Penelope Keith and Joanna Lumley.
