Jackman recently wrapped production on the much-anticipated film adaptation of Les Miserables, directed by Tom Hooper (of The King s Speech), costarring Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe. The film is currently slated for a December 2012 release. In October 2011, Jackman made his return to the Big Way in his one-man show Hugh Jackman Back on Broadway. Backed by an eighteen-piece orchestra, the revue, which previously opened to rave reviews during its limited engagements in San Francisco and Toronto earlier that year, was comprised of both Broadway hits and a selection of some of his personal favorite standards. Although the show ran only until the end of the year, Jackman s continued dedication to the Broadway community was feted at the 2012 Tony Awards, where he received a Special Award from the Tony Awards Administration Committee, recognizing his accomplishments both as a performer as well as a humanitarian. 2
3 Most recently on the big screen, Jackman starred in Dreamworks Real Steel. Directed by Shawn Levy, this thrilling story is set in the near future where 2,000-pound human-looking robots do battle and led the box office two weeks in a row in the fall of 2011.In the fall of 2009, Jackman made a return to Broadway in the Keith Huff penned A Steady Rain. Co-starring Daniel Craig, the play tells the story of two Chicago cops who are lifelong friends and whose differing accounts of a few traumatic days change their lives forever. On February 22, 2009, Jackman took on the prestigious role of hosting the 81 st Annual Academy Awards. Live from the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, he wowed those in attendance and helped ABC score a 13% increase in viewership from the previous year. This wasn t, however, Jackman s first foray into Awards show hosting. Previously, Jackman served as host of the Tony Awards three years in a row from , earning an Emmy Award for his 2004 duties at the 58 th Annual ceremony, and an Emmy nomination for his 2005 appearance at the 59 th Annual ceremony. In late 2008, Jackman appeared in 20 th Century Fox s romantic action-adventure epic Australia directed by Baz Luhrmann. The film, set in pre-wwii northern Australia, sees Jackman as a rugged cattle driver who assists an English aristocrat (played by Nicole Kidman) in driving a herd of 2000 cattle across hundreds of miles of rough terrain where they must also face the Japanese bombing of Darwin, Australia. Additionally, Jackman has starred in Darren Aronofsky s The Fountain, Christopher Nolan s The Prestige, and Woody Allen s Scoop. In addition, he lent his voice to the animated features Happy Feet and Flushed Away. Other films in which he has had leading roles include Deception, Someone Like You, Swordfish, Van Helsing, and Kate and Leopold, for which he received a 2002 Golden Globe nomination. For his portrayal of the 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz, Jackman received the 2004 Tony Award for Best Actor in a musical as well as Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World awards. Previous theater credits include Carousel at Carnegie Hall, Oklahoma! at the National Theater in London (Olivier Award nomination), Sunset Boulevard (MO Award - Australia's Tony Award) and Disney's Beauty and the Beast (MO Award nomination). Jackman's career began in Australia in the independent films Paperback Hero and Erskineville Kings (Australian Film Critics' Circle Best Actor award and The Australian Film Institute Best Actor nomination). In 1999, he was named Australian Star of the Year at the Australian Movie Convention. 3
