Jameson Thomas (24 March 1888 – 10 January 1939), was an English film actor. He appeared in 82 films between 1923 and 1939.
He was born in London and died in Sierra Madre, California, it is said from Tuberculosis.
On the stage from his early teens, Jameson first appeared as a half breed boy in "The Squaw Man". He made is screen debut in 1923 in the film "Chu Chin Chow" and in 1929 he appeared in Piccadilly directed by Ewald Andre Dupont. Thomas starred as Valentine Wilmot alongside Anna May Wong. At the time, "Piccadilly" was not well received, but has since been recognized as an accomplished melodrama and one of the best films of the late British silent era. Thomas eventually made the move to Hollywood, appearing on the stage with Bebe Daniels in "The Last of Mrs Cheyney". He continued to appear in minor roles in various films until his death.
