Rupert Evans, a talented actor, began his career in television, making a name for himself in British costume dramas. His early work included notable roles in productions such as "Sons & Lovers" alongside Sarah Lancashire and Hugo Speer, "North and South", "Crime and Punishment", and "Fingersmith" with Imelda Staunton and Charles Dance.
He also had significant parts in TV series like "Rockface", "Paradise Heights", and "A Midsummer Night's Dream". In 2004, Evans transitioned to film, starring in the studio movie "Hellboy", directed by Guillermo del Toro, alongside Selma Blair, John Hurt, and Ron Perlman.
Since then, his focus has shifted towards theatre and independent film. In 2007, he appeared in the indie film "Arritmia", released in Europe, alongside Derek Jacobi and Natalia Verbeke. In theatre, Evans has played notable roles, including "Romeo" and "The Dauphin" in "King John" at The Royal Shakespeare Company, and "Valentin" in "Kiss Of The Spider Woman" at The Donmar Warehouse Theatre.
His other theatre credits include "Breathing Corpses" at The Royal Court Theatre and "Sweet Panic" in London's West End. Before his latest film, "Agora", Evans completed filming "The Palace", a new mini-series for TV in the UK, in which he played the title role of the King of England.
