BIOGRAPHY OF HENRY CAVILL
Fourth of five siblings, born onJersey Island in the English Channel which has an independent government but belongs to the British Crown. In 1996, at the age of thirteen, his parents enrolled him in the Stowe School which is located in Buckinghamshire 120km north of London. Henry Cavill here he goes through adolescence by rapidly maturing self-discipline thanks to the rigid school setting and extra activities that are not experienced by the institution as entertainment only. He practices rugby, field hockey and cricket, but it is acting that interests him the most, because it forces him to deal with the more social part of his personality that struggles to come out. His plans are to finish his studies in English and History and become a soldier in the Armed Forces, as do his older brothers. Alternatively, he takes into consideration a course of study in Egyptology for which he has a certain passion, but the good feedback he gets by participating in the school’s plays with some plays by Shakespeare and the musical Grease, make him linger.
In 1999 at the Stowe School an American production arrives to shoot some scenes of the film Kidnapping and ransom. Cavill he is one of the students selected to make extras and it is also an opportunity for him to get to know Russell Crowe, shake his hand and have a chat. Crowe gives him an autograph on the poster de Gladiator with this dedication: “Dear Henry, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”, wishing him the best of luck in the acting career he wants to pursue. A year passes and luck knocks on her door when a casting director comes to visit to meet the school’s budding actors. The man is looking for a boy to play an earl’s son in an upcoming film. Henry Cavill thus he obtained his first professional assignment at age 17 for the film The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) of Kevin Reynolds. His name begins to circulate and even before this movie comes out, he wins a starring role in Family secrets next to Emmanuelle Seigner, Sergio Castellitto is Charles Aznavour. Now launched, Cavill definitively abandons his studies.
After three television appearances in British productions, one of them for the series Inspector Barnaby, joins the cast of a romantic film set in the 30s called The scent of bluebells. Between 2003 and 2007 he slipped a series of secondary roles in non-memorable films, such as horror Hellraiser VIII which comes out directly on home video, Tristan & Isolde again under the direction of Kevin Reynolds and fantasy for families Little Red Riding Hood is Stardust. In this time frame, Cavill he is defined by some magazines as one of the most unfortunate actors around because, despite the fact that the fans want him to interpret Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the part goes to Robert Pattinson. Same goes for Twilight as the author of the books Stephenie Meyer she would be glad to see her vampire incarnate Edward Cullen from Cavill, but the production considers him too old with his 24 years and hires, also in this case, Pattinson. It comes to be one of the last two actors considered to restore luster to James Bond, and as we know the other is preferred, Daniel Craig. And that’s not all, because initially it is he who has to interpret Superman in the 2006 reboot of the superhero. There Warner Bros however, he takes the project away from the director McG to entrust it to Bryan Singer that starts the casting from scratch: outside Cavill for the part, inside Brandon Routh.
The actor feels disheartened by all the missed opportunities and by the little recognition he receives from the works that go through. Meditate on abandoning scenes when a call comes in for The Tudors (2007-2010). The series likes and Cavill he begins to gather open acclaim also in the United States, showing his charm and depth of interpretation. In those four years he finds time to participate in the comedy Just let it work (2009) of Woody Allen and horror Town Creek (2009) of Joel Schumacher. In 2011 he is the protagonist of fantasy Immortals of Tarsem Singh where he shows off an enviable physical shape and no one is surprised, indeed, when the announcement arrives on January 30th 2011 that he will interpret the new Superman in another reboot titled The man of Steel (2013), in which he finds again Russell Crowe that long ago had encouraged him to take small steps at a time. At this point it seems that fate had prepared everything for him, you just had to be patient and never lose your will and concentration. Henry Cavill builds muscle to prepare for the role, and in the meantime also shoots an unpretentious action movie with Bruce Willis, The cold light of day (2012). He is co-starring with Armie Hammer of the spy-comedy UNCLE operation (2015) directed by Guy Ritchie before donning the superhero costume from Krypton again to face the Dark Knight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). With the development of the cinematic universe DC Comics, Cavill / Superman it is also expected in the next ones Justice League Part I is II.
