Charlie Hunnam: Professional Career and Life
Charlie Hunnam was discovered in a shoe store on Christmas Eve at the age of 17 while drunkenly clowning around buying shoes for his brother.
Hunnam was approached by a production manager for the Newcastle-based children’s show Byker Grove, and he was later cast in his first role as Jason in three episodes of the show.
He also had a brief modeling career, which included a shoot for Kanhols Caps before deciding that modeling was not for him. Russell T Davies cast him as fifteen-year-old schoolboy Nathan Maloney in Davies’ Channel 4 drama queer as Folk when he was 18 years old.
Nathan Maloney’s role proved to be a watershed moment in his career. He masterfully handled the difficult task of transforming the character from a shy, introverted, and innocent young man to a cocky, know-it-all, and has become a role model for gay youth.
The show was well-liked and received the highest ratings at the time. Following the show’s record-breaking ratings, he reprised his role as Nathan Maloney in the two-hour sequel, “Queer as Folk 2.” In 1999, he made his big-screen debut as Daz in the film ‘Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?’
Charlie has relocated to Los Angeles. His first appearance on US television was in the short-lived teen drama ‘Young Americans,’ which aired on the WB Television Network. Following that, Charlie played Lloyd Haythe, an English drama student, in the Fox series ‘Undeclared.’ His fresh face and flawless portrayal made Lloyd’s character seem believable and authentic.
He made his American film debut in 2002 with the psychological thriller ‘Abandon,’ in which he played Embry Larkin, the missing boyfriend of a college student, played by Katie Holmes, whose case is reopened two years later by a police detective investigating a series of other missing students.
The same year, he was cast as the protagonist in the film ‘Nicholas Nickleby.’ The film was based on Charles Dickens’ novel of the same name.
In the film, he played a 19th-century man whose life is turned upside down by the tragic death of his father. He is impoverished and at the mercy of his uncle Ralph, played by Christopher Plummer.
The following year, in 2003, he was cast in the film ‘Cold Mountain,’ alongside Nicole Kidman, Jude Law, and Rene Zellweger. In the film, he played the pivotal role of a Civil War marauder who joins the Home Guard and kills deserters for money.
Charlie returned to the United Kingdom to appear in the film “Green Street Hooligans.” In the film, he played a treacherous thug who enrobes an expelled American student from Havard and teaches him the intricacies of football hooliganism.
The unrealistic and incorrect delivery of the Cockney accent earned the film a negative critical review. Following a dismissal performance as an English thug, he went on to star in the Kurt Sutter-created television biker drama, ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ as Jackson ‘Jax’ Teller.
His role as the Vice President of a biker gang provided him with his real break and proved to be a role of a lifetime. It also earned him a couple of nominations for awards. As of this writing, the series is still ongoing.
Charlie was cast in several films in 2011, including the philosophical drama/thriller ‘The Ledger’ in 2011, the crime drama ‘Deadfall’ in 2012, the indie comedy ‘3,2,1…Frankie Go Boom’ in 2012, and the sci-fi film ‘Pacific Rim’ in 2013. He is said to play Dr. Alnan McMichael in the horror film ‘Crimson Peak.’ The film will be released on October 16, 2015.
