Gerard Butler is no stranger to action movies. Though his first movie was a period piece, playing Archie Brown in Mrs. Brown, Butler’s career has oft included high-octane genre movies. After acting in Mrs. Brown, he went on to play a supporting role in the Pierce Brosnan Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies, making his first foray into the action genre. He then revisited genre filmmaking the next year with his adventure fantasy movie Tale of the Mummy, which was released in 1998.
