You can thank Sara for that one :)

Makes sense - I'm mainly familiar with the British actors who are more well 
known in the states, so there's probably a bunch I've overlooked...  but I 
do love Irons' work.  Maybe they'll figure out some place to put him yet :)

I'll have to look him up

Oh, no, I didn't exactly like it - it was cute, and inoffensive enough, but 
not what I'd call "good".  I just liked Jackman's performance in it (and 
very different from both "X-Men" and "Swordfish"), and, when there's 
nothing else on TV and I'm alone in the house, it makes for good background 
noise :)
