Jake Abraham, 56, who was most known for his famous performance in “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” has died. According to the-independent, the actor’s representative confirmed this information.
Abraham gained recognition for his portrayal of Dean in the 1998 gangster flick, “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” a film scripted and directed by Guy Ritchie.
Among his notable works are the 1991 Channel 4 series “GBH” and the 2001 movie “Mean Machine,” where he shared the screen once again with his “Lock, Stock” co-star Vinnie Jones.
In July, the actor openly disclosed his battle with prostate cancer to the Liverpool Echo, revealing that he was under palliative care.

He revealed that doctors had told him he had been suffering from cancer for around four years and that, tragically, the disease had spread to other parts of his body.
“I had the great pleasure of working with Jake on a few shows I co-produced, Twopence to Cross the Mersey and Lennon’s Banjo, he was a wonderful actor, a great company member, and was much loved by so many in the theatre,” Bill Elms, a director and producer in Liverpool who frequently collaborated with Jake, said to the Liverpool Echo.
“He will be sadly missed. I have many fond memories of Jake, he was always so upbeat and fun to be around. I admired him for going public with his illness, it will make a difference to many others and save lives.
“It’s a very sad day. RIP and sending my love to his friends and family.”
