Biography:A star in his native Australia thanks to his work on television and in musical theatre, actor "Hugh Jackman" became known to American audiences through his role as Logan/Wolverine in "Bryan Singer"'s lavish adaptation of the popular Marvel comic "X-Men" (2000).

Born of English parentage in Sydney on October 12, 1968, Jackman was raised as the youngest of five children. After earning a communications degree as a journalism major from Sydney's University of Technology, he attended the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts, where he studied drama. The fledgling actor got his first big break immediately after graduation, when he was offered a starring role on the popular TV series Corelli; his casting proved to be doubly serendipitous, as it provided him with an introduction to his future wife, actress Deborra-Lee Furness, with whom he would have a son.
