Additional Accents: Canadian. Sports: Olympic weightlifting, horse riding (capable). Awards: 2017 | Nominated for Best Supporting Actor (The Legend of Ben Hall) | The Wild Bunch Film Festival, Arizona USA Reviews: “Gritty gunfights, stunning vistas and a standout turn by Coffa as outlaw John Gilbert highlight writer-director Matthew Holmes’s passion project – bringing bushranger Ben Hall (Martin) to life on the big screen.” - Who Magazine (DEC, 2016 AUS edition under ‘Who’s HOT 12 List’) “Holmes is an eager entertainer, and his film switches registers with flashes of light relief from the scallywag Canadian Johnny Gilbert, portrayed by Jamie Coffa as a bush dandy with a love of women, alcohol and fighting.” – Jason Di Rosso (ABC The Final Cut) “Even his comrades are all-together newcomers, but act more adept than some experienced actor. Especially Jamie Coffa is to be highlighted, who embodies the hothead with all the joy of madness." (Trans: Auch seine Mitstreiter sind alle-samt Newcomber, die aber versierter agieren als manch erfahrener Darsteller. Besonders Jamie Coffa ist da hervorzuheben, der den Hitzkopf mit aller Freude am Wahnsinn verkorpert.” ) - Sebastian Wotschke ('DEADLINE das Filmmagazin' magazine (Germany - Issue#63 - 11 MAY 2017) “It is a film of both action and of character. Not just Ben Hall's character, either, but several of the people around him, notably the wild card John Gilbert, delivered in a sizzling and edgy performance by Jamie Coffa.” - Andrew L. Urban (Urban Cinefile) “Jamie Coffa is amazing as Johnny Gilbert. Cackling and posturing and bringing much levity throughout proceedings. He is responsible for a lot of the comedy moments in the film and he pulls of gags with aplomb.” - Doctor Colin (Doctor Colin Reviews) “Gilbert, however, is a really scary clown, but because of his narcissistic and loud character, he becomes the other favorite.” (Trans: Gilbert viszont egy igazán ijesztő bohóc, de pontosan a nárcisztikus és harsány jelleme miatt válik ő a másik kedvencé. ) - Erunder (Corn and Soda – Hungary)
