So on the weekends, I will be writing about a certain actor, I wouldn't mind spending my time with. I will give 3 movies, you may or may not have seen them in and why you should check them out. This is for my readers to maybe see someone who plays more supportive rolls, or independent rolls that might not always be in the spot light. Some will be new faces and some will be familiar faces that you might just see in a new way. *Note when I suggest filmographies..I think the best place to go is imdb.com
This weeks actor and present to my blog guru, is Dublin born, Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Many people know him from the Tudors, but if you go and check out his filmography you would be surprised at the range of characters he has played. With his great accent and sexy look he has played the leading man all the way to the villain.
1. "Bend It Like Beckham"- This is where I fell in love with Jon, he plays the soccer coach for the woman's side. He of course falls in love with Jessminda, an Indian girl who want to play "football." This British film is one that encourages people to be who they are, do what makes you happy, and be love who you love. Meyers plays his part with charm, easiness, and you get to actually hear his true Irish accent. It is a film I truly enjoy and the one that got me hooked on him.
2. "Vanity Fair" - In this 2004 film he plays the villainous role of George Osborne. It is a period piece in which he play a stuck up man who knows the main characters secret (Reese Whitherspoon) and will use it when he can. He play a part in which you love to hate him. "Remember your place" is just one on of the many jerky lines in this film. He seems to want to be more aristocratic than he is and thinks anything and any one belongs to him. I would definitely check him out in this one.
3. "August Rush"- This is one of his more recent, and most recognizable movies in which he plays a forlorn guy who was broken hearted after an amazing, pretty much one night stand with his soul mate." He also plays a musician, so this film is worth it cause you get to see that this actor can actually sing and play guitar. It is a moving movie, with a great soundtrack. Plus when you get to the end and He sees Kari Russell's character again you just melt for the guy, letting you know his love never fades.
So I would definitely get cozy with Jonathan Rhys Meyers...oh and also if you want to check him out in "Elvis" a t.v. movie (you can rent it on DVD), he was impeccable as the king. He also kind of won an Emmy for it...that's kind of a big deal.
