He attended various aristocratic schools since he was a child, graduated with excellent grades from the Oxford Department of Literature, and is familiar with the famous works he starred in. He also has the usual humor and restraint of British actors. This allows him to play the heartthrob prince in "Ella Enchanted", the lost man with high IQ but emotionally closed in "Adam", or the "fragile and sensitive little teacup" in the American drama "Hannibal". The performance is distinctive and unique personal style   . ( )
