My fame? Truly I don’t consider myself famous…long way to go yet. But if anyone does ask for an autograph it’s a wonderful feeling…Henry Cavill

Yet another British import is destined for greatness in Hollywood.

Despite the dashing star’s modesty, I imagine that many are asking for Henry Cavill’s autograph these days.  Ruggedly handsome, talented, young. Yes, Cavill has everything going for him to keep Hollywood knocking for quite some time.

Born May 5, 1983, Cavill is just beginning his meteoric assent to super stardom.  And he has quite a head start!  Co-star in the hit series The Tudors, Cavill landed the juicy role of Charles Brandon, the First Duke of Suffolk and brother-in-law to King Henry VIII.  Whether providing strong brotherly comfort to the emotionally-needy Henry or bedding the steady stream of beautiful damsels in distress,  Cavill doesn’t disappoint.

Cavill studied drama at Stowe School in England before answering the call to show business.  In 2001, 18-year-old Cavill’s leading man good looks and acting ability landed him a small but solid role in The Count of Monte Cristo.    Strong supporting roles soon followed, including roles in films like Tristan & Isolde and the Showtime series, The Tudors.

In his latest role, Henry Cavill is the young warrior Theseus in the new Greek mythology tale, Immortals, which opens in theaters next year.
