He was almost unrecognisable in Layer Cake, but his role was a pretty large one - he's plays the character who was Sienna Miller's boyfriend to being with, and who ends up shooting the Daniel Craig character. His role in Enduring Love is smaller.

I heartily approve of this post.

There is a certain je ne said quoi about him... Quite a chameleon, and I thought he was freakishly good in Perfume.

Bloody internet cut out on me...

I mean, of course, sais, not said... :)

you know he's treading the London boards at the moment, don't you?

[the_grynne]

I didn't, although it doesn't surprise me. Do you know in which play?

[prior_knowledge]

Naturally! A new play by Phillip Ridley called Leaves of Glass.

You may remember Ben appeared in Phillip's previous production, Mercury Fur.

I have tix for next week.

That's wonderful! So glad to learn that he hasn't abandoned the stage for film entirely.

Alas, unless he happens one day to be in a production in Sydney, Australia, I will never get the chance to see him.

I'm totally with you! I remember when Perfume came out and I knew he was in it but for some reason I could care less. After seeing the film I was like OMG he's so attractive in a weird mermerizing, come hither, sort of way. Then I watched Layer Cake with him in it and that was it, I was hooked. Other than that here in Virginia nobody really knows who he is. But I actually don't mind because he can be my little secret lol.

Likewise, in Australia. I don't think many people saw Perfume. But I have a feeling a lot of people are going to know about him, very soon. :)

[sweet_mizery]

I think so too, althought, I'm weird, I don't think I want a lot of people to know about him because I feel more special being one of the few who know who he is, if that makes sense lol.
