For those of you in the US, you're more likely to have seen him as Adrian in
the movie "Little Nicky", or the Welsh place-kicker, Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff,
in "the Replacements"

While it would be great to see him in one of the movies, I can't really see
him as any of the current characters, unfortunately.  (Let's hope a
character is introduced tht he could portray...)

He was actually in both, "the Mummy" and "the Mummy Returns."

(Looking at his fimlography on my favorite site for such things, I've also
found out that he plays the main character in the TV movie series "Rebus"...
which makes me actually want to check them out the next time they come onto
the BBC America channel here...  Normally I don't like shows like that, but
he's a good actor.  Kinda like Robbie Coltrane in the "Cracker" series...)


Another great actor I'd love to see get a part in one of the movies is John
Rhys-Davies.  (He might work as Bagman, as an alternate to my Eddie Izzard
suggestion... other than that, the only current character I can see him as
is Grawp...)
