2Son of a dancer and an American serviceman. Was adopted by a wealthy English couple at the age of 6 months.
3He and former "Robin of Sherwood" star Ray Winstone, who played Will Scarlet opposite Addie's Gisbourne, have both been in films about King Arthur. Addie played Mordred in John Boorman's "Excalibur" (1981) and Winstone plays Sir Bors in Antoine Fuqua's "King Arthur" (2004).
4Played two mythological villains: Mordred in "Excalibur" (which he got because of his resemblance to director John Boorman's son, Charlie, who played the boy Mordred) and Sir Guy of Gisbon on TV's "Robin of Sherwood" (1984); he was helped by his abilities as a horse rider.
5Took Katrine Boorman out to dinner several times while filming the movie "Excalibur." As a result of this, Katrine's father, John Boorman, did not speak to him for a while, which caused some problems on the set.
