Guy Pearce
Born 5 Oct 1967, in Ely, Cambridgeshire
Wise words: "I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy,' because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things."
