Celebrity Birthday of the Day – May 5

Take a good look, folks, because this is the face of a future superstar. Henry Cavill began acting in school plays during prep school in Buckinghamshine, England, and made his film debut in 2002’s The Count of Monte Cristo. In the years that followed, Cavill played many secondary roles in prominent films and television series including I Capture the Castle, Tristan & Isolde, Stardust, and The Tudors. In 2011, Cavill was given his first starring role in a major motion picture: Tarsem Singh’s Immortals. The following year, he co-starred with Bruce Willis in The Cold Light of Day, and now, in 2013, Cavill will be playing Superman in the Zack Snyder/Christopher Nolan collaboration Man of Steel. According to the IMDb, this is only Cavill’s 17th role. So I say again: take a good look, folks. Henry Cavill turns 30 today.
