Mini-bio: Fair-haired, hunky British performer Charlie Hunnam began life in Newcastle, England, and moved to Hollywood at the age of 19 (around 1999) in a quest for movie and television stardom. He found it alm... read moreost instantly as homosexual character Nathan on the first two seasons of the groundbreaking Showtime series drama Queer as Folk (1999-2001), then signed on to work for executive producer Judd Apatow and others with a role as a college student in the short-lived but critically worshipped situation comedy Undeclared (2001). Hunnam's feature film contributions began shortly thereafter and witnessed him specializing in intense, angry, often psychotic characterizations; memorable assignments included a portrayal of the nasty villain in Anthony Minghella's period drama Cold Mountain (2003) and a gold-toothed, dreadlocked psychopath in the dystopian saga Children of Men (2006). The role that truly rocketed Hunnam to acclaim, however, cut closest to his British roots: a scarily accurate evocation of a thuggish English footballer in the gritty drama Green Street Hooligans (2005). He appeared in the well-regarded dystopian sci-fi film Children of Men as well as Robert Towne's long-planned adaptation of the novel Ask the Dust. He appeared in the first season of the TV series Sons of Anarchy in 2008, and had a major role in the 2011 thriller The Ledge. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Charlie Hunnam mini-bio:

Charles Matthew "Charlie" Hunnam is an English actor.Hunnam's first major role was as Nathan Maloney in the Channel 4 drama Queer as Folk (1999). Immediately following his role in Queer as folk came the role as the young anarchist Daz in the British film Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? (1999) – on the completion of both projects Hunnam relocated to Los Angeles, California to pursue his acting career.


His career then expanded to include a recurring role as Gregor Ryder in a TV Series for The WB Network called Young Americans (2000). He then appeared in the much loved yet short lived FOX series Undeclared (2002) as the cocky British drama student Lloyd Haythe. The series was cancelled after only one season – many believe that this is because of the network continually changing the time slot for the show.

Following Undeclared, Hunnam then appeared in a selection of films: Abandon (2002) and the film adaptations of Nicholas Nickleby (2002) and Cold Mountain (2003). A personal decision to concentrate on films he wholeheartedly believed in resulted in his return to the United Kingdom to take the lead as Pete Dunham in Green Street (also known as Green Street Hooligans, Hooligans and The Yank) (2005). His most recent role was Patric – a member of the "The Fishes" – in Children of Men (2006) directed by Alfonso Cuarón. It is a film adaptation of the P.D. James novel of the same title.
