Hot Scot James McEvoy
James McEvoy was the man to meet at the recent Toronto Film Festival. As the star of five upcoming films, he's the new go-to guy of British film.
Best known to American filmgoers as the faun from THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE and the hero's younger brother in WIMBLEDON, this Scots-born actor is more than a match for Forest Whitaker in THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. Here's an interview with the 27 year old Glaswegian in the Sunday Telegraph that reveals where he'll turn up next.

Have just seen James in "Becoming Jane"-fabulous! Where has this guy been? He seriously needs to make a trip to New York,and do some local theater--a different type of entertainment for all of us in the U.S. to enjoy--not to mention he is adorable! About the movie--brought me right into the 18th century,but I bet the clothing was dreadfully hot-(one would never know because James wouldn't let it show)----

For your McEvoy enjoyment...
Rent STARTER FOR TEN immediately. This actor is just as charming in the 20th century romantic comedy (it's set in 1985 Brighton, England).
I think he's even better in ATONEMENT, the upcoming adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel.
