Yes, he is cute, but a good actor as well.

No matter what he does I’ll be right there buying my tickets and supporting him 100%! I know I’ll be getting an amazing performance. I’m looking forward to The Ugly Truth in July.

I agree with most of what the everyone above has said – Gerry is versatile and plays his characters with depth and apparent understanding. Definitely Phantom of the Opera, Dear Frankie, The Jury, and 300 are standouts. However, RockNRoller has to be my favorite. The mix of the serious and humorous is wonderful and hits the right note for the film.

It seems to matter little that some movies or scripts have been less awe inspiring – Gerry always stands out from the crowd and provides a solid and captivating performance.

Can’t wait till RNR comes out on DVD to add to the collection.

My other favourite movies are Dear Frankie, P.S. I Love You, Attila the Hun, The Jury and of course 300, what a great King Leonidas he was and I was devasted with the ending, although I did know how it would end. There are many of his movies I do not like but that has nothing to do with Gerry, his acting is always superb.

For me and many others as you can see it was The Phantom Of The Opera that brought so many of us to know about Gerard Butler and it is still the film i love the most, quite unforgettable. Gerard is incredibly charismatic more than any other actor i can think of right now and shows wonderful facial emotion without having to say too much. I enjoyed all his films since. He can play powerful and mesmerizing as Phantom, Attila, Leonidas, Beowulf, Dracula, yet can show great sensitivity and softness as in Dear Frankie, PSILY and Nims Island, as well as playing comedy as in RocknRolla. His peformance in The Jury was striking, his drunken scene one of the best. All the above are great examples of his incredible versatility as an actor and he is very handsome and sexy too which doesn’t hurt. He has my vote for the
best male lead around by far.

Gerry’s ‘best’ movies will, naturally, vary according to personal tastes and an ensemble effort, but I think most people would agree that, while many of his roles display versatility, there are just a few where everthing comes ‘together’ to be nigh on perfect. Number one on that list would be his role as ‘the stranger’ in Dear Frankie: played with great restraint and, in consequence, power, it demonstrates how Gerry can absolutely ‘nail’ a ‘sensitive part. If he has a fault it is that, on screen, he draws the camera and can sometimes be ‘too’ much: Dear Frankie shows how ‘reining it in’ produces fantastic results. In contrast, Number two would have to be Leonidas in ’300′ – where that ability to draw the camera is ‘pumped up’ to exactly suit the material: very few actors could have made that part ‘come alive’ and become three dimensional with what is, essentially, a very two dimensional script and source. Close to these in effectivenes is ‘Phantom of the Opera’ where grand operatic passion and a vulnerable human needs are beautifully portrayed through song. Gerry is weak with accents (PS I love you) but has a deft comic touch (RocknRolla) – and that’s part of the joy of being a fan of his: knowing how brilliant he can be and wanting every part he takes to prove to everyone that he is indeed a great movie star AND a great actor. We already know he’s a lovely human being! Upcoming films like ‘The Ugly Truth’ and ‘Game’ may be good movie fodder but it will be a role like that of Robbie Burns in ‘Burns’ (if it ever gets made) that will put Gerry on the truly ‘great’ list!
