Biografie
Gerard Butler solidified himself as a leading man when he starred as the bold and heroic King Leonidas in Zack Snyder's blockbuster film 300. The film broke box office records in its opening weekend and went on to earn more than $450 million worldwide. In 2010, Butler starred opposite Jennifer Aniston in THE BOUNTY HUNTER, and voiced one of the lead characters in the animated hit HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON.
In addition to acting, Butler launched the production shingle, Evil Twins, with his longtime manager Alan Siegel in March 2008. Their debut project, the physiological thriller LAW ABIDING CITIZEN grossed over $100 million worldwide and also became Overture Films’ most lucrative opening to date. Butler previously starred in Robert Luketic’s romantic comedy, THE UGLY TRUTH, opposite Katherine Heigl. He also led the futuristic thriller GAMER and starred in Guy Ritchie's, ROCKNROLLA, opposite Thandie Newton and Jeremy Piven.
Though perhaps best known for his action-adventure films, Butler can easily cross genres, with credits that include the children’s adventure film NIM’S ISLAND opposite Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin; and the romantic drama P.S. I LOVE YOU, with Hilary Swank. He previously starred in the film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. He earned critical acclaim for his work opposite Emily Mortimer in the independent feature DEAR FRANKIE, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Butler has also starred in BEOWULF & GRENDEL, THE GAME OF THEIR LIVES, TIMELINE, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE and REIGN OF FIRE.
In 1997, Butler made his feature film debut in John Madden1s award-winning drama HER MAJESTY, MRS. BROWN, starring Judi Dench. His early film work includes roles in FAST FOOD, ONE MORE KISS, HARRISON1S FLOWERS and the 1999 screen adaptation of Chekhov’s THE CHERRY ORCHARD.
Born in Scotland, Butler made his stage debut at the age of twelve in the musical “Oliver,” at Glasgow’s famous Kings Theatre. As a young man, his dreams of acting were temporarily deferred and he went on to study law for seven years before returning to the stage in London. In 1996, he landed the lead role in the acclaimed stage production of “Trainspotting.” He later starred on the London stage in such plays as “Snatch” and the Donmar Warehouse production of Tennessee Williams’ “Suddenly Last Summer,” opposite Rachel Weisz.
