Cary Elwes(I)

He said after A Princesa Prometida (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 Memórias de um Espião (1984), Lady Jane: Uma História Verdadeira (1986), and Maschenka (1987). In contrast, he later starred in several films as a villain, which include Vida Bandida (1991), Twister (1996), O Livro da Selva (1994),Uma Garota Encantada (2004), The Riverman (2004) to name a few.
