Ioan Gruffudd (pronounced Yo-wahn Griffith, born 6 October 1973 in Llwydcoed, Wales) is a Welsh actor who rose to fame through two very different roles: As the hero of ''Series/HoratioHornblower'', the [[TheFilmOfTheBook Series of the Books]] by C. S. Forester, and as Mr. Fantastic in the ''Film/FantasticFourDuology''. Born in Cardiff in 1973, he started out as an actor in his native Britain but moved to the US a couple of years ago and has since appeared in a number of guest appearances on TV shows as well as in movies. He landed a starring role on the CW's FilmNoir-style show ''Series/{{Ringer}}'' which was unfortunately canceled after one season. Next, he played the main character in ''{{Series/Forever|2014}}'', which was also, unfortunately, canceled after one season.
