From child star (A River Runs Through It, Roseanne) to grown-up heartthrob (500 Days of Summer, Inception) —with time off in between to study at Columbia. Sexy and smart.
We miss him terribly as gang detective Nate Moretta on the brilliant Southland, but welcome him with open arms and mojo as Lafayette's witchy new boyfriend on True Blood.
He's played a judge (The Good Wife), a bluesman (Muddy Waters in Who Do You Love), a British intelligence agent (MI-5) and a king (in Henry VI , the first black man to play a monarch for the Royal Shakespeare Company).
