I know him from some stage productions he's done in NY and London. But most recently, he played Jack in the adaptation of Pillars of the Earth. He was fantastic. Right now he's in theaters with My Week with Marilyn, but it isn't showing where I live. He's a beautiful, freckled, talented Englishman. Can't say enough good things about him.

I'm also really excited to see Russell Crowe as Javert. Physically and acting-wise, I think he is perfect. I'm also excited to hear him sing-- I only know him from his band back a dozen years or so. And any excuse to hear Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway sing. This should be great.
