(FALL HUNKS) Gerard Butler from PLAYING FOR KEEPS!
Gerard Butler, 43, is a Scottish actor who has appeared on film, stage, and television. A trained lawyer, Butler turned to acting in the mid-1990s with small roles in productions such as the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), which he followed with steady work on television, most notably in the American miniseries Attila (2001). In 2003, he played André Marek in the adaptation of Michael Crichton's Timeline. He garnered critical acclaim for his work as the lead in Joel Schumacher's 2004 film adaptation of the musical The Phantom of the Opera. In 2007, Butler gained recognition through his portrayal of King Leonidas in the film 300. Since then, he has appeared in projects including P.S. I Love You (2007), Nim's Island (2008), RocknRolla (2008), The Ugly Truth (2009), Gamer (2009), Law Abiding Citizen (2009), The Bounty Hunter (2010), and as a voice actor in How to Train Your Dragon (2010).On 19 August 2011, while filming "Playing For Keeps", Butler is said to be writing songs and in the process of recording an album. Marilyn Manson, Jack Black, and Johnny Depp are said to be advising him on becoming a rock star. "The 300 star sought advice from Depp on "putting a first-rate band together" and was then introduced to Manson and Black, who are reportedly guiding Butler along the path to rock and roll stardom."
Butler has been open in interviews about struggling with alcoholism. In February 2012, Butler's publicist announced that Butler had completed a course of treatment for substance abuse of pain killers, at a rehab-centre. This was after Butler was concerned he was too reliant on prescribed pain relief medication which escalated when he was involved in a surfing incident before Christmas 2011. Despite his sometimes turbulent personal life and the often violent characters he plays, Butler is well known to be a kind person in real life. He is known to be very friendly with fans and co-workers, and socializes with everyone on set.
