Trivia
While filming Mrs. Brown (1997),
saved a young boy from drowning in the river Tay
and recieved a "Certificate Of Bravery" from The
Royal Humane Society.
Did not see his father from the
age of 2 until he turned 16.
Cried whilst talking about the
Phantom's loneliness to The Phantom of the Opera
Had the "rock and roll" voice that
Andrew Lloyd Webber always wanted to play the
Phantom.
He has quickly gained a reputation
as one of the nicest actors around, as he always
takes time to socialize with fans and hangs out
with crew members as much as co-stars on film
sets.
When he auditioned for the role of
Aslan the Lion in the Walden Media/Disney
production of The Lion, The Witch, and the
Wardrobe, he asked, "this is going to be like the
BBC puppet Aslan, right? Because if so I'm leaving
right now." He has a law
degree from Glasgow University , but gave up on
this career choice after being fired from a law
firm after only two weeks. |
