----------
* AwesomeDearBoy: He did ''{{Series/Camelot}}'' because he liked the idea of a DarkerAndEdgier King Arthur storyline.
* DyeingForYourArt: Lost 21 lbs in order to play a prisoner of war in ''The Great Raid''.
* FakeAmerican: ''Series/TheHandmaidsTale'' as The Commander, ''Film/RunningWithScissors'' as Neil, ''The Great Raid'' as Major Gibson and ''Series/FlashForward'' as Mark.
* HollywoodHypeMachine: A defied example. After the double whammy of ''Film/ShakespeareInLove'' and ''{{Film/Elizabeth}}'', he started getting hyped up by the press and made it to People's list of sexiest men alive in 1999. But he turned down a lot of roles in order to focus on stage work - notably ''Film/ThePianist'', ''A Good Woman'', ''{{Film/Quills}}'' - and declined the offer to sign a five picture deal with Miramax.
* PlayingAgainstType: ''Series/FlashForward'' is a non period-piece, and a sci-fi thriller series at that. He plays an FBI agent as opposed to his usual hammy writers or lotharios.
* RomanceOnTheSet: He met his wife Natalie Mendoza while filming ''The Great Raid''.
* StarMakingRole: ''Film/ShakespeareInLove'' of course.
* TypeCasting: He's heavily associated with Elizabethan era period pieces. Both his two most remembered roles - William Shakespeare and Robert Dudley - were cheating on their wives with the female lead.
