He auditioned for 2008’s Slumdog Millionaire and although he didn’t get the part. He went on to appear […]
Domhnall Gleeson
There’s a line on The Pirates of the Caribbean ride in which the animatronic pirates yell “We wants the redhead!” This phrase perfectly describes my obsession with Domhnall Gleeson. Domhnall (pronounced “doh-nall”) Gleeson was born on May 12, 1983 in Dublin, Ireland to actor Brendan Gleeson and Mary (Weldon) Gleeson. He is the eldest of […]
Dev Patel
If you watched the first two seasons of the UK series “Skins” and then watched Slumdog Millionaire you might not recognize that Anwar and Jamal are portrayed by the same actor. You’ve got to figure it takes a fairly astute person to play the hyper, sexually obsessed Anwar and then turn around and be so […]
Alden Ehrenreich
Every once in a great while one of those rare occurrences happen when we discover an actor at the very beginning of their burgeoning career. “Alden Ehrenreich (pronounced “air-ren-rike”) is just such a phenomenon.

Eddie Redmayne caught the world’s attention last winter as the young man who befriend Marilyn Monroe during the filming of “The Prince and the Showgirl” in “My Week with Marilyn.” The 30 year-old actor already was known for his award winning stage work, but it was his role as Colin Clark that made him famous. […]
Lee Pace
I’m not going to lie. If you’re reading this profile because you saw Lee Pace in the new Twilight movie and you had never seen him before – that makes me a little sad. Now I’m going to cut you some slack since Lee, more known as a stage actor, hasn’t had much exposure on […]
Aidan Turner
Dark, striking, and bloody sexy, Aidan Turner exudes an unforgettable presence. He is currently in the much anticipated prequel to Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. As Kili, he is the dwarf who, along with his brother Fili, accompanies their uncle Thorin and Bilbo on the Quest of Erebor. Before signing on […]

Karl Urban
Ode to Karl Urban: Oh Karl Urban, how I love thee, let me count the ways! Pierce me with an arrow of thy love, oh winged god. (It began with a guest starring role as Cupid on “Xena”.) Horse master and master of my heart, I am your willing servant. (Then he rode across the […]
Ben Whishaw
It happened to be one of those days when I chanced upon a screening for the film, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. Based on the international best seller, the film depicted the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a gifted perfume maker, whose life takes a dark turn as he becomes increasingly obsessed with creating the […]
Michael Ealy
Tall, dark, and handsome: those are the things a woman looks for in a man. Heck, most of us would be happy with one or two of those out of the three! So what do you get when you add in soul-searching blue eyes, pillow-like lips, and a mesmerizing on –screen intensity? You get Michael […]
Henry Cavill
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s HENRY CAVILL!! Everybody wanted to know more about this guy. Snyder called him “the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield,” that he exuded this “crazy-calm confidence”. Just one look and you would agree as well!
Tom Hiddleston
I’ll freely admit that a year ago I didn’t know who Tom Hiddleston was and then I saw “Thor” on May 6, 2011. I was riveted by Thor’s backstabbing little brother, Loki, and now I am longing to see what mischief he reigns down to cause “The Avengers” to assemble on May 4. While Tom […]
Taylor Kitsch
For those of you unawares, residing beneath a rock or two, Taylor Kitsch’s first love is hockey. Typical of a Canadian born and bred gent in Kelowna BC circa 1981, he ran ‘round with a stinky bacteria-filled duffel bag before an injury knocked him out of the player’s circle jerk and onto the street of […]
Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch will play a villain in the upcoming Star Trek movie set to be released in 2013. That seems appropriate to me. Why? Because he looks the part – he looks villainous. He has the kind of face that, were you to pass him on the street, might make you look twice and then […]

Luke Evans
The first time Welshman Luke Evans pinged my radar was while I was attending Wonder Con 2011 in San Francisco with O2W4’s wonderful Editor Mo. What struck me first about Luke was his uncanny resemblance to Orlando Bloom. Who was this handsome man? And better yet, what kind of Fangirl was I for not already […]
