The young actor has an innate ability to look perfect for the part - be it a period film where he dons a classic suit of old to wearing the most faddish of today's fashion. He is also not afraid to play second fiddle to other actors (who may seem less talented than him). He has this boy-next-door image but with a big difference - the guy can act and act really well.

While this may be the image most often attached to actors like him, Hunnam seems to prefer playing the anti-hero, as he did in Children of Men or in Green Street Hooligans.

" I always think it's better to take a smaller role in a great film rather than a leading role in something that you don't have complete faith in," says the young actor.

And he is about to get another juicy role! He is reported to be part of the cast of the upcoming remake of The Stanford Prison Experiment. The film is a drama based on an experiment conducted in the summer of 1971 at Stanford University, where undergraduate students assumed the roles of prison guards and inmates
