Cary Elwes(I)

He said after Princess Bride (1987), he was getting lots of offers to act in several costume period pieces. He turned most of them down because he didn't want to be typecast, as he had already starred in period pieces, mostly as a romantic love interest, in the previous films Another Country: Histoire d'une trahison (1984), Lady Jane (1986), and Maschenka (1987). In contrast, he later starred in several films as a villain, which include Leather Jackets (1991), Twister (1996), Le Livre de la jungle (1994),Ella au pays enchanté (2004), Dans la peau du tueur (2004) to name a few.
