Jack Laskey is an English actor best known for his extensive theatre work and his role as DS Jakes in the ITV drama series Endeavour. He is the third son of Michael Laskey, a poet. He currently stars in the CBC spy thriller television series X Company as Alfred Graves.

Laskey trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).

Laskey received widespread acclaim for his recurring TV role as DS Peter Jakes in the ITV series Endeavour. Endeavour will film its third series in 2015.

In Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's hotly anticipated World War II spy series "X Company", Laskey will play the role of Alfred Graves, 'a young man with a gentle soul' who 'is burdened with an uncommon condition - synesthesia - that cross-wires one sense with another in the brain'.

Other television credits include Squirrel Huntin' Sam McCoy in the epic Emmy Award-winning "Hatfields And McCoys", directed by Kevin Reynolds and Kevin Costner.

Laskey played the role of the Photographer in Joseph Pierce's multi-award-winning animation "A Family Portrait".

In 2007 he co-wrote and appeared in the sketch show pilot "Spilt Milk", which received a Royal Television Society Award.

He made his film debut in 2011, starring as Carruthers in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

Laskey played the lead role of Konrad in Oscar-winning producer Peter Fudakowski's 2014 adaption of Joseph Conrad's short story The Secret Sharer. Almost half of the lines Laskey speaks in the film are in Mandarin - a language he had no previous knowledge of before starting work on the film.
