James McAvoy (1979 -)


James McAvoy born 21 April 1979 is a Scottish actor. He made his acting debut as a teen in 1995's The Near Room and continued to make mostly television appearances until the early 2000s. His notable television work includes State of Play, Shameless, and Frank Herbert's Children of Dune. Besides screen acting, McAvoy has appeared on stage with Three Days of Rain in 2009, and in 2011 he di voice work for animated films including Gnomeo & Juliet and Arthur Christmas.
Starting in 2003, McAvoy began to build his film resume with Bollywood Queen. That film was followed with The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005), a commercial hit. His performance in Kevin Macdonald's The Last King of Scotland earned him not only critical praise, but several award nominations. 2007's critically acclaimed Atonement marked the breakthrough in McAvoy's career. It also earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination and his second BAFTA nomination. Another big point in the actor's career was starring in Wanted (2008). Since then, he is notable for playing Charles Xavier in the 2011 superhero film X-Men: First Class, a role he will reprise in X-Men: Days of Future Past in 2014.

Daniel Craig (1968-)


Brief  Bio
Craig was born in West Cheshire Hospital, which opened in 1984 as the Countess of Chester Hospital, in Chester, Cheshire, England. His mother, Carol Olivia (née Williams), was an art teacher, and his father, Timothy John Wroughton Craig, was the landlord of the pubs "Ring o' Bells" (in Frodsham) and the "Boot Inn" (Willington, Tarporley), and also served as a midshipman in the Merchant Navy. Both of Craig's parents were of half Welsh descent.
   Craig was brought-up on the Wirral Peninsula, near Liverpool, and attended primary school in Frodsham, and later Holy Trinity Primary School in Hoylake. After failing his Eleven plus, Craig (along with his older sister, Lea) attended Hilbre High School in nearby West Kirby. Upon finishing his compulsory secondary school education at the age of sixteen, he joined Calday Grange Grammar School briefly as a sixth form student. Craig played for Hoylake RFC Rugby Union Club. Daniel began acting in school plays at the age of six. He was introduced to serious acting by attending the Everyman theatre in nearby Liverpool city centre with his mother. Craig moved to London when he was sixteen to join the National Youth Theatre. He attended the Guildhall School of Music and Drama at the Barbican and graduated in 1991 after three years of study under Colin McCormack.
   In 1992, Craig married actress Fiona Loudon, with whom he had a daughter, Ella. The marriage ended in divorce in 1994. After his divorce, he was in a seven-year relationship with German actress Heike Makatsch, ending in 2001. He subsequently dated film producer Satsuki Mitchell from 2004 until 2010. Craig and actress Rachel Weisz had been friends for many years, and worked together on the movie Dream House. They began dating in December 2010 and married on 22 June 2011, in a private New York City ceremony, with just four guests in attendance, including Craig's 18-year-old daughter, Ella, and Weisz's four-year-old son, Henry. In October 2008, Craig paid £4 million for an apartment in a converted old house in Primrose Hill near Regent's Park, London. He is a Liverpool F.C. supporter.

Gerard Butler (1969 - )

Brief Biography

Date of Birth: November 13, 1969


Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Butler spent his first few years in Canada before returning with his family to Scotland. After his parents divorced, he remained with his mother for most of his childhood, reconnecting with his father in his mid-teens. Attending Glasgow University, Butler pursued the life of a lawyer/solicitor.
During his studies, however, he was approached by actor Stephen Berkoff in a London coffee shop. Berkoff gave him a stage role in the playCoriolanus, and Butler accepted. The thrill of performing made him decide to give up law school for a career in acting. Other stage performances to follow included playing the lead role in Renton, the stage adaptation of the feature film Trainspotting.

By 1997, Butler landed his first film role as Billy Connolly's younger brother in the movie Mrs. Brown (1997). His movie career continued with small roles in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) and Tale of the Mummy (1998).
When the 21st century hit, he found himself landing starring roles in the mini-series, Attila, playing the lead role; Wes Craven's feature film, Dracula 2000 (2000), playing Dracula; as well as roles in Reign of Fire (2002), Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) and playing the Phantom inThe Phantom of the Opera (2004).
Since then, he's become one of Hollywood's leading actors, equally adept at comedies like The Ugly Truth (2009) and The Bounty Hunter (2010) as well as more dramatic fare, such as Law Abiding Citizen (2009). Some of his more recent films include the Sam Childers biopic Machine Gun Preacher (2011) and the Shakespeare film Coriolanus (2012). 
Living in both London and Los Angeles, Butler spends his spare time playing football (soccer), horseback riding, skiing and water skiing. Currently single, he's been romantically linked to celebrities such as Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston.

Keira Christina Knightley (1985- )



Brif Bio

  • NAME: Keira Christina Knightley
  • OCCUPATION: Film Actor
  • BIRTH DATE: c. March 26, 1985
  • EDUCATION: Esher College
  • PLACE OF BIRTH: London, England 
  • AKA: Keira Knightley  


Keira Christina Knightley was actually christened as Kiera, and was born in Teddington, a quiet suburb of south-west London. She has one brother, Caleb, who is five years older than her. Keira's Scottish-born mother, Sharman MacDonald, had formerly worked as a stage and TV actress, appearing in the popular detective series, ‘Shoestring’. 
   After Keira's mother gave up acting, she went on to pursue a successful career as a playwright. Keira's father was Will Knightley, who was also a stage and TV actor. With such a theatrical background, it was hardly surprising that young Keira should grow up wanting to act.
   Knightley landed her first blockbuster hit in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Based on a ride at Disneyland, this adventure tale starred Johnny Depp as the notorious pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow. Knightley's character, Elizabeth Swann, got caught up in the action along with Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), and she reprised her role in the film's 2006 and 2007 sequels.
