Early years

Jimmy was born and brought up in Wapping, East London as the son of a docker. Jimmy started off his amateur boxing career in 1963 at the Broad Street Boxing Club in Stepney. He then went on to start his professional boxing career in 1973 as a Featherweight.[1]

Acting career

After getting frustrated with boxing, Jimmy got involved in acting with the director Ron Peck in the film Empire State. With the success of the film, this prompted his passion for acting and writing. Shortly afterwards Jimmy wrote the one man play entitled 'The Wapping Assassin'[2] after his own life story. He has subsequently appeared in major films such as The Krays and Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Revolver.

Partial filmography
gollark: I also wrote a chat program in about 30 lines of easily memorable python which uses that convenient IPv4 broadcast address, because I wanted a version of my multicast chat thing which was less ridiculously fragile. So you could also plausibly cheat using that.
gollark: You could actually just use the HTTP thing to download code off pastebin too I guess.
gollark: No, you don't have access to your usual network drive.
gollark: So in theory (I said this to them, and apparently I wouldn't have enough time to cheat so it didn't matter, which would have been wrong as I in fact had lots of spare time) you could access the internet by manually sending HTTP requests from python and parsing the HTML, yes.
gollark: They "block internet access" by stopping the browsers opening. However, we can access python for obvious reasons, and python has built-in HTTP libraries.
