Biography
English actor Charlie Hunnam got into acting after a production manager of the British Children’s show Byker Grove spotted him in a shoe store. He was then cast as Jason in three episodes of the program.
In 1999, Hunnam was cast as Nathan Maloney on 10 episodes of Queer as Folk, as well as the 2000 movie adaptation of the series. While he also worked on several films like Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?, Abandon and Nicholas Nickleby, he mostly focused on the small screen with roles on Undeclared and Young Americans.

Quotes
“Well, I have a great deal of pride, and I care infinitely about what my peers think [about me]. It could be my downfall, but I don’t think it is – Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it’s suicide. I have 60 years to make the money, but the choices I make in the next five years are really going to define my career.”
