Compassionate_Conservative Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill (born 5 May 1983 in Jersey) is a British actor. Cavill attended Stowe School, a boarding school, where he acted in many plays. He has appeared in several films, including 2002's acclaimed The Count of Monte Cristo, the dramatic I Capture the Castle (2003), experimental musical comedy Red Riding Hood (2004), an "edgy" Hellraiser: Hellworld in (2005), and the 2006 film version of Tristan & Isolde. At his youthfull stage, Henry Cavill has come "Oh so close" to three major film leading man dramatic placements. Each would have defined his acting career for years to come. Henry Cavill auditioned for the lead role in Batman Begins. For a while it looked like he may have won the cape, but then lost the crusade to Christian Bale. In 2005, he became the younger contender for the role of James Bond, and performed in a final screentest of the movie icon. The producers and director were torn between him and Daniel Craig. Apparently the Director wanted Henry Cavill as a younger version of James Bond, roving about the parlors in Casino Royale. It turns out the producers believed Cavill too young for the role, which went to Daniel Craig. He also auditioned for the role of Superman for the project that after many writers and directors eventually became Superman Returns, and was reportedly under heavy consideration before the October, 2004 casting of Brandon Routh. Also the subject of an extensive on-line and write-in pettition drive to Warner Brothers; the popular Gentleman Cavill was requested by many aficionados in their unsuccessful campaign to select him for the character of Cedric Diggory in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In the December 05 edition of Empire Magazine, he was dubbed "...the most unlucky man in Hollywood". A resilient Henry Cavill stepped beyond the pale of circumstance, to say that the publicity brings his name out. Almost surprisingly yet to break through as a major film star by the time he turned 23, Henry Cavill landed a leading role in the Showtime seriesThe Tudors (2006), and a charming yet minor part in the fantasy film Stardust (2007).
