Ok Cara, so who is this guy and what's he done?
I
love being asked this question!
Gerard Butler -- or "Gerry," as he's more familiarly known -- is a brilliant, under-rated and still relatively unknown Scottish actor who has been in a slew of movies, most recently as the Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera," in the Scottish indie film "Dear Frankie," and in a movie about the St. Louis soccer team who beat the British, "The Game of Their Lives." He has recently starred in another movie, "Beowulf & Grendel," in which he plays Beowulf, but a distributor for the movie has not yet been found. He just finished filming a movie based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, "300," and in March he will begin filming "Butterfly on a Wheel" with Pierce Brosnan.
Other movies he's been in include "Timeline," "Reign of Fire," "Dracula 2000," "Mrs. Brown," and "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life." Even when the movies themselves weren't that good, he was often the best thing in it, outshining his co-stars. After filming Tomb Raider, in which he starred as Lara Croft's (Angelina Jolie) boyfriend, he apparently picked up quite a large gay following.
He has a huge and devoted fan club, especially at this site:
www.gerardbutler.net. He makes himself very accessible to his fans, and they love him for it.
