Gerard Butler

"I love this franchise. It's just.. you know.. It's funny, I was hanging out with Taron Egerton last night and he was like 'Just let me do a couple lines in the movie! It's my favorite! It's my favorite!' He watches it all the time, I'm now going to try to get him a couple of lines in the movie, it's like it's so much.. In my whole career it's one of the proudest things I've ever been involved in. It's such a fun, sweet journey, and I've become quite attached to my character, it's great to play a guy who's huge and bulky and actually not have to go there, you know?"

Biography
He was born in 13th November, 1969. Butler achieved widespread fame for playing the lead role of King Leonidas in the film 300. In his review of the film, Roger Ebert joked that Butler seemed to be "channeling" his character of Leonidas when voicing Stoick. He also dryly noted how many of the Scandinavian Vikings in the film spoke with Scottish brogues, including Butler, Craig Ferguson (Gobber), and David Tennant (Spitelout).
