Such was his acclaim that when the play was remounted on Broadway (with its name changed to “Indiscretions”), Law was the only British cast member who repeated his role in the New York production. After a few appearances in small films and on stage, Law found his breakthrough role in a production of Jean Cocteau‘s play Les Parents Terribles which won him a number of Best Newcomer Awards from London critics. He showed an early interest in acting and joined the prestigious National Youth Theater as a teenager. Law was born in Greenwich, England to parents who were both teachers. He has fallen into the trap of just being a pretty face who plays standard action hero type roles. Academy Award nominated actor Jude Law has had a unique career in that he has managed to possess the looks of a leading man sex symbol but has still managed to always be regarded as a serious actor.
