In 1994, he released Crocodile Shoes for the TV drama Crocodile Shoes, which reached number four in the charts.
In 1996, when he starred in Crocodile Shoes, Jimmy was the highest paid TV actor in the UK, earning almost £1 million.
Despite this financial success, Jimmy gave up his acting career the following year to concentrate on music.
“I love singing,” he said earlier PennyBlackMusic‘I was an accidental actor.
‘Music was always my first love, my real passion. I just had to prove myself and acting roles were a step on the way. It was a stroke of luck that I hit the jackpot as an actor.’
In 2014, Jimmy was part of Sting’s Last Ship stage musical project.
