CARY ELWES was born into a British family of painters, but left England to attend Sarah Lawrence College in New York. After making his film debut in “Another Country,” he costarred in the historical drama “Lady Jane” then made his first big impression as the farm boy Westley in Rob Reiner’s runaway hit “The Princess Bride.” Since then, he has been seen as Tom Cruise’s racing competitor in “Days of Thunder,” Matthew Broderick’s second-in-command in “Glory,” the ego-ridden fighter pilot in “Hot Shots,” and the fiancé of Lucy (Sadie Frost) in “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” He starred opposite Bridget Fonda in “Leather Jackets” and played the eponymous hero of Mel Brook’s spoof, “Robin Hood: Men In Tights.”
Cary’s more recent credits include “Kiss The Girls,” the voice of Paris in Disney’s “Hercules,” as John Housman in Tim Robbins’ “The Cradle Will Rock” and the role of Fritz Arno Wagner opposite John Malcovich in “Shadow of a Vampire.” He most recently starred with Danny Glover in the thriller “Saw” and the forthcoming “Neo Ned.” On television, Elwes is also well known for his role as FBI Assistant Director Brad Follmer, in the TV series “The X Files.”
