Hugh's Photos#6 Hugh Jackman
This Aussie actor, who got his start in television series and
on the Australian stage, made his Broadway debut this year playing
singer-songwriter Peter Allen in "The Boy From Oz." Although the show has earned
rave reviews from doubting critics, it's a far cry from the superhero heroics
that earned Jackman attention as Wolverine in the wildly popular "X-Men" movies,
including this year's "X2." All that action experience has made Jackman the new
favorite to take over from Pierce Brosnan as the next James Bond. Right now,
however, he's working on "Van Helsing," an action-adventure film scheduled for
release next year. Jackman plays the title character, a monster hunter on a
mission to destroy Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's Monster. Cementing
his now-secure spot in Hollywood, this year Jackman also topped Entertainment
Weekly's annual list of the 100 Most Creative People in Entertainment.
