After getting fired as a lawyer, the sexy Scottish Gerard Butler began his true passion — acting. While he seduced Angelina Jolie in Lara Craft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life in 2003, Gerard's rise to fame began after his role as the chiseled Spartan King Leonidas in 300. Since then, he's starred in hit flicks like The Ugly Truth and Law Abiding Citizen.
