In 1998, dashing Dougray swept DREW BARRYMORE off her feet in the fantastic fairytale 'Ever After.' Taking on the role of Prince Charming in this magical recreation of the classic Cinderella story, Dougray wowed all as he charmed Drew and ANJELICA HUSTON with a scene stealing performance. That would be the big screen boost he needed, and Hollywood took notice.

Earlier this year the "great Scott" ventured back to TV-land to star in "Arabian Nights" as Sultan Schariar, while more movie role offers came pouring in. Dougray was offered the part of Wolverine in the upcoming 'X-Men' feature, but turned it down because he had his sights set on something even bigger… Tom Cruise, JOHN WOO, and 'MI-2.' The sequel set new records as the biggest film opening ever, and now everyone wants to know all about the man who faced off against Tinseltown's "Cruise missile."

Dougray is able to take it all in stride. He told The Irish Times, "People say to me, now you're famous, but I'm not famous and I don't feel famous… It's not something I think about because that's not why I'm an actor. I really genuinely get excited about playing a character and being in a film."

What is next for this handsome performer? He is set to star in novel turned feature 'Enigma' with KATE WINSLET. Set in Germany in WW1, Dougray takes on a character named Tom Jericho, a famous "code cracker" who was able to break the Nazi "Enigma"code for U-boats. His mission this time? The seemingly "impossible" task of breaking the German codes once again. We think it's safe to stay that in the capable hands of Dougray -- the mission will be accomplished.
