随便小推一下他的另外一部影片《What a Girl Wants》(实在没有喜欢的译名)。也是俗套的总统私生女成长故事,他在里面饰演一个开朗不羁的歌手,造型很不错,歌声很悠扬。蛮可以的片子,好像比《Raise Your Voice》成功一些。况且还有著名的Colin Firth先生饰演总统(我最初就是冲着他去的,结果迷上Oliver,就又去看了《Raise Your Voice》)。如果我哪天无聊。再八卦一下这个片子。
Oliver James (born Oliver James HutsWhat a Girl Wantson on June 1, 1980) is an English musician and actor. He is perhaps best known for his roles in the American films What a Girl Wants and Raise Your Voice.
Early life James, an only child, was born in Ottershaw, Surrey. His father is involved in car racing, and James had originally wanted to puruse a career as a professional race car driver. He played the drums in a band while in high school, where he also participated in racing and motorcrossing. James graduated from the Guildford School of Acting in Surrey, where he majored in drama, and subsequently appeared in stage productions and commercials. At the age of nineteen, he adapted his middle name as his professional surname, in order to avoid confusion with actor Oliver Hudson.
Career James' first screen appearance was a supporting role in the 2002 made-for-television short film, School's Out; he next appeared in a 2003 episode of the BBC series, The Afternoon Play, and joined a boy band produced by Simon Fuller. He left the band as soon as he was cast opposite actress Amanda Bynes in the American romantic comedy, What a Girl Wants; for his role in the film, he learned to play the guitar and co-wrote and sang the songs Long Time Coming and Greatest Story Ever Told, which were on the film's soundtrack. The film was set in England and James played the romantic interest of Bynes' character. It was released in April of 2003 and performed fairly at the box office, grossing $35 million domestically.[1] James' next role was opposite Hilary Duff in the teen film Raise Your Voice, which was released in October of 2004 and grossed $10 million domestically.[2] Raise Your Voice was James' last acting role to date.
Personal life James currently lives in Los Angeles, California, where he moved to in March of 2003, in order to pursue an acting career in the United States.
