- - - That's quite depressing, especially if you're Henry Cavill. Apparently Empire refers to the run of 'bad luck' that the young British actor had during his auditions for three high-profile roles.
It seems it's not enough to described Henry Cavill as 'an unknown actor from England' then. But if we're to look at recent events, it seems Mr. Cavill has finally broken this run of so-called 'bad luck'. Aside from a leading role in The Tudors, he was also chosen to play the lead in the next Woody Allen film, with co-star Evan Rachel Wood who will also play his love interest. I was so amused while reading the wikipedia profile of Mr. Cavill that I quite forgot why I was writing about him. You see, I had just watched The Count of Monte Cristo which was one of his earliest and most significant roles. While it was Jim Caviezel's film, the young actor was a scene stealer! It could have been a different, more youthful James Bond if they decided to cast him instead of Daniel Craig. Superman could have looked better and been 'brainier' if they'd cast Mr. Cavill instead of that boring, wooden actor Brandon Routh... Well, now that he's doing so well, maybe there'll be more roles in the near future? [ read more about Henry Cavill here ] [ IMDb profile ] Set as favorite Bookmark Email This Hits: 577 Comments (3)

Apparently, the Twilight Lexicon website and the Henry Cavill fan site recently reported that he was sent and read the Twilight script, but didn't consider it because of his prior commitments to The Tudors.
Oh well...

I'm sure he will be kicking himself when Twilight is released and he sees how big it is. Maybe it's his fault he's so unlucky...
He's just too good... written by Bwilson, August 02, 2008
Although he has suffered three major professsional disappointments, Henry still kept on going which reflects a strong character...
He is too sexy to be Superman...too stable to be Batman...and too young to be James Bond...but way too good looking to not be seriously considered (top 2) for all three characters... Gee, that must suck but in a "I'm too sexy" kinda way. Wake up Hollywood and find a character that is good enough for him! -but I'm just a girl...you know, with money that likes to go to the movies...oh wait, your target audience. Imagine that!?! P.S. When the Anne Rice's vampire chronicles were butchered, I mean, adapted to film, everyone thought they would be better than they were so try not to get your hopes up. I don't think Henry will be kicking himself anytime soon. My dear Henry, please stay smart, ride The Tudors series until the wheels fall off! Go Henry, go go go! Write comment

tMF certainly has its eyes on a number of talented actors- Matthew Goode, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Stahl and more. At the moment, we have below our latest profiles, with more coming up soon!
It would seem hard to talk about Casey Affleck without mentioning his brother Ben or vice versa. The brothers have been the subject of many articles - from their looks and their relationships to Ben’s decision to cast his brother in Gone Baby Gone and the completely different career paths both guys took on: Casey remained oblivious to the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, while Ben adjusted to the glare of being in the spotlight.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers - The 30-year old Irish actor is known for speaking his mind- he is quite vocal about a number of issues- from the failings of the film industry to dealing with directors with huge egos to the irrelevance of celebrities & the lack of real talent in some of today’s biggest box-office stars.

Not many people are blessed with the opportunity to enter a deeply rewarding and exciting career. In the case of Michael Angarano, it has been like that since he was 5 years old. As a young model, he was exposed early to the hustle and bustle of a glam job. Not surprisingly, he began his successful transition into acting a couple of years later. [ read more ]
Kostja Ullmann: Taking on such a challenging role is not a new departure for the actor. After appearing in a variety of shows on German television, Ullmann was offered the role of Achim, one of the leads in Marco Kreuzpaintner’s Summer Storm. [ read more ]
