TV & Movies He’s no stranger to a homegrown drama. Netflix has announced four new characters for Bridgerton Season 2. Rupert Young is one of the new castmembers set to make a big impact in the series. According to Deadline, his character Jack never appeared in the Bridgerton books. So who is Rupert Young? You may recognise the actor from some favourites of British TV. Young was born in London and had a passion for performance from a young age, according to his profile page on actors directory London Theatre Direct. Instead of following his dream straight to drama school, the site states that he worked jobs in the creative arts and theatre to help him raise the funds so he could study at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He graduated in 2004. While success in the entertainment business can be a bit of a slow burner for some people, Rupert Young’s agency, Curtis Brown, highlights that he started to get work straight out of school.
