Early life
Jameson was born in Columbia, Missouri, to Michael H. Jameson, a classicist,[4] and Virginia Broyles, a teacher and a scholar,[5] and was raised primarily in Philadelphia.[6] Prior to settling in Philadelphia, however, Jameson moved with his family to various places around Europe, which exposed him to a variety of the accents that inspired his approach to many of the characters that he plays and/or voices.
Career
He has appeared in the television series Mission Hill, The Critic, 24, Lost, The King of Queens and, vocally, in Star Wars: Clone Wars as Palpatine, Darts D'Nar in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the radio adaptation of Dark Empire, and several other productions of Star Wars. He has over 114 film credits. He has also voiced in Spider-Man: The Animated Series as Richard Fisk and Morbius, and provided the voice of Max and Agent/Coach Morceau Oleander in the video games Sam & Max Hit the Road and Psychonauts respectfully. He also voiced Lloyd in Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits. In 2006, his voice was featured in the video game Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops as Colonel Skowronski. He voiced Jim Dear in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. He also voiced as Aldar Beedo in the video game Star Wars: Episode I Racer. In 2012, he voiced the character Toxic Reapa from the miniseries Hero Factory. He voices Marshall Dune in the point-and-click adventure Broken Age.[7]
Nick has also had a relatively lengthy career in music. Early on, he was a member of The American Dream (1970), a Philadelphia band whose debut album was Todd Rundgren's first production credit. More prominent success soon followed when he briefly became the unofficial fourth member of the British blues-rock band Foghat, producing several of their albums as well, including Fool for the City, which spawned the band's biggest hit "Slow Ride." Nick's bass-playing is prominently featured on this track as well as the rest of the album. One of the tracks on the "Fool For The City" album, a cover of the Muddy Waters song "My Babe", was a song that Nick had originally recorded with The American Dream in 1970.[8] He has also released a couple of solo albums: Already Free and A Crowd of One ,[9] the latter of which featured the single "Weatherman," which cracked the Billboard Hot 100.[10] The track has a breezy pop-rock feel that was fairly typical of the mid-'80s. It is somewhat similar in terms of both melody and tempo to Mr. Mister's big hit, "Kyrie," albeit with much lighter percussion. A year later, Jack Wagner recorded a cover version of the tune (under the title "Weatherman Says"). Another track from the A Crowd of One album, "Love's Closing In" was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1986 film, A Fine Mess.
Although an American native, Jameson has become very well known for his ability to perform in a variety of deceptively authentic accents, particularly British English[11] and Australian.[12]
In 2014, after living in Los Angeles for years, Jameson moved to Reykjavík.[13]
