The Resume

    (November 6, 1951- )
    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Appeared in the films 'Chariots of Fire' (1981), 'A Passage to India' (1984), 'Burke & Wills' (1986), 'Empire of the Sun' (1987), 'Farewell to the King' (1989), 'Paradise Lost' (1999) and 'Penelope' (2006)

Why he might be annoying:

    While showing off for 'Chariots' co-star Ben Cross, he clipped a hurdle and fell, breaking his wrist. He kept the injury secret ('I was terrified they would replace me') and the wrist never healed properly.
    He was typecast as posh, lovable rogues.
    His first wife, Carolyn Cox, called him a serial adulterer.
    He seduced David Lean's wife at a party in Lean's own house.
    He walked out of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! (2010).
    He called cyclists 'a new army of Lycra-clad maniacs.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and Cox became friends after their divorce, with Cox commenting 'He is good fun to be around, but less fun to be married to.'
    He turned down several acting jobs to be with his second wife, Polly Williams, as she battled cancer.
    He said, 'If any actor gets offered Corrie, for heaven's sake take it, because it's the best job in the world.'
    He keeps his career in perspective, saying 'When you think of the impressive things some people do with their lives, it makes me seem ridiculous' and 'It would be insane to take it too seriously.'
