1-MINUTE RESUME FOR JUDE LAW

He wowed audiences in 1999's The Talented Mr. Ripley, in which he plays Matt Damon's obsession. In 2004, he may have been the hardest-working actor in Hollywood, appearing in six films during the twelve months. 2005's Oscars host, Chris Rock, joked about this very subject and purported that he did not know who Jude Law was. Sean Penn later took the mic to readdress Law's rightful spot among the best Hollywood actors.

5 Things:

1. He started acting with the National Youth Music Theatre at the age of 12.
2. Law started his professional career in theater and daytime television.
3. He was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2004.
4. He publicly apologized for having an affair with his children's nanny in 2005.
5. He was one of the co-founders of production company Natural Nylon, although he has since left the company.

An excerpt from his public apology to then fianc�e Sienna Miller: "I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us."
