David Jude Law

David Jude Law was born on 29th December, 1972, in Lewisham, South London, England.

Law was educated at John Ball Primary School in Blackheath and Alleyn’s School in Dulvich. He started acting with the National Youth Music Theatre at the age of 12 and, at 17, he dropped out of school completely.

In 1992, Jude began his stage career. He starred in many plays throughout London, and was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award of "Outstanding Newcomer". After doing the play "Indiscretions" in London, he moved and did it again on Broadway. He then received a Tony Nomination for "Outstanding Supporting Actor". He was then rewarded the Theatre World Award.

His first big named movie was Gattaca (1997), with Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. He also had a good role in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997).

Law's classical good looks have made him a leading 'heart throb', but he has sometimes chosen to hide his looks in unglamorous roles such as the evil, balding hitman in Road to Perdition.

Law married Sadie Frost on 2nd September, 1997. They have three children.
