Hugh Jackman finished third (15%)
James Purefoy is one of those actors who were simply born to play charming bad boys and elegant but naughty heroes. He always shines in period movies and epics: "
George and the Dragon", "
Vanity Fair", "
Blackbeard", "
Solomon Kane", "
A Knight's Tale" are just few of his films from that genre which presented him as a dashing knight or a seductive hero, but we all remember him best as Mark Antony in the legendary TV series "
Rome"
which was the role of his life, at least for now. In the future we shall watch him in some equally heroic and wonderful roles: he will be a brave knight in medieval epic "
Ironclad", king Lot in STARZ epic series "
Camelot", Cantos Kan, the captain of the Xavarian, the kingdom of Helium's grand warship in the upcoming space opera "
John Carter of Mars" (I'm literally dying to see that one), brave lord Somerset in "
Heaven and Earth"... He is still a candidate for
James Bond for which he already auditioned back in the time of "Goldeneye" but lost the role to Pierce Brosnan.
