After establishing himself as a diver on the British National Diving Team, competing for England at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in the 10-meter, 3-meter, and 1-meter events, Jason Statham was cast by director Guy Ritchie in his debut role as Bacon in the commercially successful ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ (1998). This initial collaboration quickly led to his appearance in Ritchie’s subsequent film, ‘Snatch’ (2000). Statham’s career progressed with a variety of roles across action and science fiction films at the start of the new millennium, including ‘Ghosts of Mars’ (2001) and ‘The One’ (2001) alongside Jet Li.
