Ioan Gruffudd, the strikingly handsome actor and noble seafarer Horatio in the Hornblower series, is set to play a new kind of hero in the film Amazing Grace. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that he will portray William Wilberforce, an 18th century British slavery abolitionist. Albert Finney will costar. The very busy Gruffudd is currently filming The TV Set, which satirizes the production of a TV pilot. (Gruffudd will perhaps be able to employ his own experience with the short-lived series "Century City.") David Duchovny and Sigourney Weaver are also in the film. It goes without saying that it is the most fervent wish of the Romancing the Tome authors that in due time the dashing Ioan will be induced make another Hornblower film. --Kim
ioan is the best actor I've ever known, he is also an excellent person. I would really like to meet him, not as a fan, but as a friend. I LOVE his paper, in my favorite film: King Arthur, in which he works as Lancelot, and with Keira Knightley (Guinever) and Clive Owen (Arthur) .
ReplyDeleteI wish the best for you all, guys.
