EastEnders' Foreman's gangster past

He  portrays a cartoon gangster in Eastenders . Most  real villains don't carry -on like his character  . Even the Kray"s had another side to them , they did run successful  businesses including nightclubs , most  of  the public at large wouldn't  have known the real  twins .

As a prison visitor a few years ago I met two local villains , who had committed nasty murders . One got  life & did  15 years , they kept turning him down for parole  because of his activities inside , but to meet him you were seeing a man who didn't drink , never swore & had high family values and treated  strangers with respect . The other guy was middle-aged , looked like a bank manager & spoke with a soft  voice , and besides his other activities they found his wife's dismembered  head  in the concrete coping stone atop his gatepost  fronting his large family home . Actually  Jamie Forman isn't as bad  as expected , but his only crime so -far is over acting ! .

Well done Dawn (below) he does not fool us and prob no-one else!

Here we are in 2012 - not 1960. No room for surplus self-opinionated egotists.

Just another actor who just does not fit into the eastenders themes.

Looks to me like he's trying to make himself look more 'dangerous' by association. He was 9 years old when his father and the Krays were arrested, so I doubt he was taken on too many bank jobs!

I reckon he's realised that his dad being a low life criminal and that the Krays may have visited his house occasionally (probably long after he was tucked up in bed) meant he could have a little reflected glamour, that's if you consider psychopaths and criminal scum glamorous!

Anything he knows about the Krays he must have heard from his father at visiting time, no doubt embellished to try to present them in as other than what they were, murderous thugs.

He is the son of Freddie Foreman, a former South London gangster and associate of the Kray twins  (FROM WIKIPEDIA)
