If Henry Cavill hadn’t become an actor, he would have joined the military or studied Egyptology. Personally, we’re happy he became and actor. Even though he had his start with a role in the Count of Monte Cristo, most of Cavill’s early work included TV shows such as Midsomer Murders. Eventually he found his way to Showtime as Charles Brandon on The Tudors (which would win an Emmy in 2008). He came close to roles in Superman Returns, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Twilight, and Casino Royale – all narrowly missing them for some reason or another. Finally, though, the star seems to be hitting his big break with a portrayal as Superman in the upcoming superhero film Man of Steel. HIDE
