(Born Sept. 09, 1960) Hugh Grant is an English film actor who tends to play the archetypal (some would say stereotypical) Englishman. It was "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994) which turned him into a major star. One of the top leading men in show business, Hugh Grant's sense of humor, oodles of charm and good looks have made him one of the most likable actors in film.
