Law
In his brief yet diverse film career, Jude Law has proved himself an uncommonly
versatile actor who has refused to be pigeonholed, stereotyped or typecast
through an almost eccentric choice of roles. Turning his hand to gritty urban
drama, period pieces or Sci-Fi, Law has always excelled
Thanks to Judes matinee idol looks
and outstanding natural talent, not to mention his fantastic onscreen charisma,
he has quickly become one of the most sought-after young stars of today
We take a detailed look at Judes career,
including:
- His début role as a ram raider in the
topical and disturbing Shopping
- His first major role, as Lord Alfred Douglas
opposite Stephen Fry in Wilde
- Playing a genetically perfect but
wheelchair-bound man in the classic Sci-Fi thriller Gattaca
- Being directed by Clint Eastwood as a murder
victim in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
- Freaking out in the visceral virtual reality
horror that was David Cronenburgs icky Existenz
- Knocking spots off the competition as the
beautiful but spoilt Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr Ripley
- His performance as a crack shot
sniper at the Battle of Stalingrad in the most expensive European film ever
made, Enemy at the Gates
- His latest role as a robot lover,
helping Haley Joel Osments automaton become a real boy in AI:
Artificial Intelligence
