What Happened To Jimmy Nail And What Is He Doing now?
Jimmy Nail is currently preparing to reprise his part as Jackie White in the Newcastle-set musical, which premiered on Broadway in 2015 and closed after only three months.
The actor was sacked at the last moment, when he was set to star in the musical The Last Ship. When the show premiered in March, Joe McGann was supposed to play the sacked actor.
In 2014, Nail used to portray Lenord Osborne. The show directed by Sting was not drawing as many people as expected, so they sought to preserve it by substituting him with Sting himself.
The story revolved around a group of jobless shipbuilders who banded together to complete one final ship. Jimmy was the ideal candidate for the job because of his background as an English actor.
The Last Ship was written by Sting as a tribute to the shipbuilding industry in his hometown of Wallsend.
