First big-screen role came with the 1997 historical drama Mrs. Brown.
Was awarded a "Certificate of Bravery" from the Royal Humane Society while filming Mrs. Brown, after he saved a boy from drowning in the River Tay in the Scottish Highlands.

Rose to fame with his over-the-top performance as Spartan King Leonidas in Zack Snyder's 300, a surprise box-office smash in 2007.
