HUGH JACKMAN (Logan/Wolverine) reprises his role as a solitary fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable adamantium claws and animal-like fury.
Jackman, a native of Australia, made his first major U.S. film appearance as Wolverine in the first installment of the “X-Men” franchise. This stellar debut led to leading roles in “Someone Like You,” “Swordfish,” and “Kate and Leopold,” for which he received a 2002 Golden Globe nomination.
Jackman reprised his role as Logan/Wolverine in “X2,” and went on to star in the Hollywood blockbuster “Van Helsing.” Jackman stars in the upcoming releases of Darren Aronofsky’s “The Fountain” and Woody Allen’s “Scoop.” He also stars in Christopher Nolan’s "The Prestige," scheduled for release later this year. For his portrayal of the 1970s singer-songwriter Peter Allen in “The Boy From Oz,” Jackman received the 2004 Tony Award® for Best Actor in a musical as well as Drama Desk, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World awards.
Previous theater credits include: Carousel at Carnegie Hall, Oklahoma! at the National Theater in London (Olivier Award nomination), “Sunset Boulevard” (MO Award - Australia's Tony Award) and Disney's “Beauty and the Beast” (MO Award nomination).
Jackman's career began in Australia in the independent films “Paperback Hero” and “Erskineville Kings” (Australian Film Critics' Circle Best Actor award and The Australian Film Institute Best Actor nomination). In 1999, he was named “Australian Star of the Year” at the Australian Movie Convention.
