Biography:A swarthy, versatile performer possessed of a strong screen presence, British actor "James Frain" first made an impression on audiences with his portrayal of a rebellious young student opposite "Anthony Hopkins" in "Shadowlands" (1993). A graduate of London's Central School of Speech and Drama, he then did strong work in "Mike Newell"'s "An Awfully Big Adventure" (1994) and Thaddeus O' Sullivan's acclaimed "Nothing Personal" (1995), the latter of which cast him as the leader of a militant anti-IRA group. Frain's international recognition increased in 1998, thanks to strong performances in two highly acclaimed films, "Elizabeth" and "Hilary and Jackie". The first featured him in a supporting role as Spaniard Alvaro de la Quadra, while in the latter, he played pianist and conductor Daniel Barenboim, the husband of musical prodigy Jaqueline DuPre ("Emily Watson").
