57!! Tropes:
58
59* ByronicHero: Literally, in one case. Other roles may fall into this trope as well.
60* DyeingForYourArt: ''Trainspotting''. He's also not above shaving his head for a role; notably in ''Frankenstein'' -- he shaved his head completely to better accommodate the "monster" makeup and wore a wig as Frankenstein. For ''Someone Who'll Watch Over Me'' he let his hair and beard grow out so he'd look more like someone who'd been held captive for months.

62** [[UsefulNotes/CanadianAccents Canadian]]: In ''Afterglow''.
63** FakeAmerican: ''Dead Man's Walk'', ''Film/{{Hackers}}'', ''Film/MelindaAndMelinda'', ''Series/EliStone'', ''Series/{{Dexter}}'', ''Film/{{Mindhunters}}'' (southern accent) and ''Film/DarkShadows''.
64** UsefulNotes/ScottishEnglish: Plays a Scot and uses the accent in ''Trainspotting'', ''Complicity'', and ''The Flying Scotsman''.
65* MistakenNationality: Scottish, as a result of his accents. ''Series/TheLateLateShow'' talk show host Creator/CraigFerguson declared him an Honourary Scotsman.
66* RomanceOnTheSet: Met (ex-wife) Creator/AngelinaJolie on the set of ''Film/{{Hackers}}''. Dated Creator/JenniferEsposito, who was in ''Film/{{Dracula 2000}}'' with him.
67* {{Typecast}}: By being cast in vampire films (examples include ''Film/{{Dracula 2000}}'', ''Film/DarkShadows'' and ''Film/{{Byzantium}}'').
