British, got a Dalton/Flemminish thing about him, I liked his performance in The Lost Souls, was very good, check out the film, also stars Wyona Ryder, its horror/thriller.
Get this, he's born:31 July 1970
London, England, UK

As British as you get, in London like me, hehe, and he's younger right now, 33 sometime this year, with a few years of waiting for Pierce's last, he can be just right, he's right now as well. He's established, but not a megastar, the way Barbara Brocolli likes it.

He's a pretty good actor ("Lost souls" was was awful movie though). He made much more of an impact in "Washington Square",you should check it out. I don't know if he would make a good Bond though,a bit to soft. However a few years wait could do him some good.:)

Agreed, I'll check out that Washington Square sometime. I actually liked Lost Souls, his performance was good in it, but what the heck, everyone has their tastes.

He looks like a mix between Val Kilmer and John Belushi.

He could handle the part of Bond. But it would be difficult take him seriously, I can still remember seeing him in the UK mid 90's sitcom "Game On". He was absolutely brilliant, after 1 season he quit and moved to the states for more serious acting roles.
