Gorgeous Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd, born October 6, 1973 in Cardiff, Wales, is known for his work as Horatio Hornblower and Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four. I don't remember him in Titanic, but I do remember him as a jerk in San Andreas.
Marvel Comics brought its superhero quartet to the big screen, Fantastic Four, July 8, 2005. The film starred Ioan Gruffud as Mr. Fantastic, Jessica Alba as the Invisible Woman, Chris Evans as the Human Torch and Mike Chiklis as the Thing. Stan Lee made a cameo appearance as the Richards' mailman.
It was a commercial success although critics were not impressed.
Stan Lee, one of the creative forces behind Marvel Comics, has passed away at 95. He worked with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko to create such immortal characters such as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.
Okay, I admit it. I really liked this movie, even though it basically ended the series. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, released June 15, 2007, performed a little better than its predecessor but soon after, lost steam. Although it made back its budget, it was panned by critics and fans.
I suppose that since I read Silver Surfer in the comics in the 70s, I enjoyed seeing him and the Fantastic Four on the big screen. Of course, watching Chris Evans for 2 hours is not at all a bad thing. Ioan Gruffudd is easy on the eyes, too. And Jessica Alba is on my top 5 women list.
I liked Michael Chiklis until American Horror Story.
