Andrew Jack (born Andrew Hutchinson; 28 January 1944 – 31 March 2020) was a British dialect coach and actor from London who had worked on over 80 motion pictures since 1982.[2][3]
Early life[edit]
His father Stephen Jack was an actor, and his mother Julia (née Hutchinson) was a horticulturist.[citation needed]
He had worked with over 200 actors[4] including Robert Downey Jr. (in Richard Attenborough's Chaplin, Michael Hoffman's Restoration and Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes), Pierce Brosnan (in GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day), Cate Blanchett, and Viggo Mortensen. As supervising dialect coach for The Lord of the Rings, he created the Middle-earth accents and taught them, along with Elvish and Black Speech, to the cast of the trilogy.[5] He designed and taught the accents for the Greeks and Trojans in Wolfgang Petersen's Troy. He taught Evan Davis to speak with a Nottinghamshire twang.[6] He was known for helping non-British actors to be more intelligible to the audience.[7]
Jack can also be seen in the Star Wars film series portraying Resistance Major (later promoted to General) Caluan Ematt in Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He also voiced the character of Moloch in Solo: A Star Wars Story.[citation needed] The final film he was working on at the time of his death was The Batman.[8]
Personal life and death[edit]
Jack's widow Gabrielle Rogers is also a voice, accent and dialect coach who first started working in the film, television and theatre industries as an actor in the 1980s. Rogers and Jack were married until his death from COVID-19 on 31 March 2020.[1] His wife Rogers wrote on Twitter, "We lost a man today. Andrew Jack was diagnosed with coronavirus two days ago. He was in no pain, and he slipped away peacefully knowing that his family were all 'with' him".[9]
