Morning Man Encore: Rupert Friend!

I’m running a little behind with my posts today so I’m sneaking in a repeat Morning Man – he’s so handsome I don’t think you’ll mind!

I first featured Rupert Friend on December 11, 2012 thanks to the suggestion of my pal Lorna. She’s British so it’s no surprise that she would suggest a Brit!

Anyway, it’s just been reported today that Rupert is in talks to replace that late Paul Walker as the star of Agent 47, an action movie that serves as a reboot of the 2007 Timothy Olyphant film Hitman.

Rupert is currently playing Peter Quinn on the Emmy-winning TV series Homeland.

The handsome 32-year-old is also known for his roles as Mr. Wickham in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice, Lieutenant Kurt Kotler in the 2008 film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and Prince Albert in the 2009 film The Young Victoria.

He was about to set off sailing around the world when he heard he’d been accepted into the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

Friend had a memorable film debut in 2004 as a young friend and lover of Johnny Depp’s John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, in The Libertine. The next year, he had his first starring role opposite Joan Plowright in Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont.

He dated his Pride and Prejudice leading lady Keira Knightly for five years before they split in 2010.

3 Remarks

  1. You should check out a wonderful up and coming actor named Daniel Bonjour. Next time you are running low on time you should stick him in.

  2. jad…I just looked Daniel up and you have great taste.

  3. Greg, you just made me sad again about Paul Walker. He was the nicest guy.
