Underworld

Bill Nighy was born on December 12, 1949 in Surrey, England, the son of Catherine Josephine and Alfred Martin Nighy. He honed his acting skills at the Guildford School of Acting and started his career in 1975 and after two seasons at The Everyman Theater in Liverpool, England, made his debut at the National Theater in the play "Illuminatus!"

Not one to stick with one performance medium, Nighy has also voiced the character Samwise Gamgee in the BBC Radio adaptation of the Lord of the Rings in 1981 - the same year he made his first on-screen appearance in the film Agony. Nighy has since kept busy in both theater and film, with his most well-known roles coming in such films as Billy Mack in Love Actually and Davey Jones in the second and third installments of the Pirates trilogy.

Nighy also portrayed the elder vampire Viktor in Underworld, which, in a roundabout way brings me to my actual and poignant review of the movie: I liked Underworld, I like hot chicks in tight leather outfits, and I like vampires, but not as much as I like Bill Nighy is that tender, not-gay sort of way.

Rating: 7/10
