Starring James McAvoy...

As I’ve already mentioned before, my favourite Glaswegian actor is definitely James McAvoy. I mean, have you see those eyes. Oh, and his talent too, I guess.

My favourite roles that he has played range from car thief to telekinetic mutant and are listed below:

• Professor Charlie Xavier (X-Men: First Class): When I was first introduced to Professor X, I was a kid who only saw him as a bald guy in a wheelchair that had some sort of super power. The cartoon version of him did little to hold my attention until Sir Patrick Stewart came along and changed that for me but it wasn't until James McAvoy came along and took on the role of a younger Professor Xavier in X-Men: First Class that I became captivated by the character. He was funny, he was interesting, he was Magneto's best friend and, shocker he had hair! Wait, what?
• Mr Tumnus (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe): So if I were to say to someone that I was a little bit in love with a faun, which just so happens to be a half-man, half-goat (wrapped in a nice woollen scarf in this case), I'd get some weird looks. However, anyone who has seen this movie knows all about Mr Tumnus and how he totally could have handed Lucy over to the Evil Witch but, like, totally didn't because he's super cute and stuff.
• Private James Miller (Band of Brothers): Okay, so he was only in one episode but he made that episode. His character was cute, sweet interesting but for the love of all that is good (spoiler alert) why did he have to die?
• Steve McBride (Shameless): I've always made it clear that I prefer the US remake of Shameless to the original one but if there is one thing I prefer about the UK version, it's Steve. In this version, he isn't a liar who is just begging for a punch to the face. Instead, he's actually rather likable. Does my opinion have anything to do with the actor that plays him? Well... possibly.
• Johnny/Max/Whatever his name is (Penelope): It's hardly an outstanding cinematic gem but I love this film. Combining the real world with the classic fairytale genre, McAvoy is the actor of the unconventional prince who is supposed to be destined to break the curse of pig-like Penelope. In the end, she ends up breaking the curse herself so, in all honesty, Johnny/Max is kind of an irrelevant character. He's good eye candy though so we can't complain.

So there you have it, a few of my favourite James McAvoy roles. While this whole post does include a rather shallow views which are really just my opinion on his face, I honestly do think McAvoy is an outstanding actor who takes on a number of diverse roles which is only proved by my list above.
