Jonathan Rhys-Meyers will soon be starring as Young Henry VIII in a new Showtime drama series called The Tudors.  The 29-year-old Golden Globe winner brings forth a new King Henry VIII — a hyper-sexed heart-throb. JRM will storm the small screen in Tudors starting April 1.  Watch out for it!

Says Showtime Entertainment President Robert Greenblatt: “Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is one of the hottest young movie stars working today and his incredible range as an actor, playing everything from historical figures to Elvis Presley, makes him an immensely thrilling choice to play this new, younger incarnation of the most infamous King ever to rule Great Britain.  As a producer of ‘Elvis,’ I had the chance to get to know Jonathan and see him craft a performance of a character that many doubted could be honestly or sensitively portrayed. He is one of the most talented rising film stars working today and his desire to do this series in the midst of his movie career catching fire is indicative of that great U.K. tradition where actors sign on to projects that they fall in love with.”
