Charles Matthew Hunnam (better known as Charlie Hunnam) was born on April 10, 1980 in Newcastle, England and is an English actor.

Hunnam's first major role as Nathan Maloney in the Channel 4 drama Queer as Folk (1999), gained him much recognition and was only the beginning of an exciting career for the young actor. Immediately following his role in Queer as folk came the role as the young anarchist Daz in the British film Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? (1999) - on the completion of both projects Hunnam relocated to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.

His career then expanded to include a recurring role as Gregor Ryder in a TV Series for The WB Network called Young Americans (2000). He then appeared in the much loved yet short lived FOX series Undeclared (2002) as the cocky British drama student Lloyd Haythe. The series was loved by many but was cancelled after only one series - many believe that this is because of the network continually changing the time slot for the show.

Following Undeclared, Hunnam then appeared in a selection of films: Abandon (2002) and the film adaptations of Nicholas Nickleby (2002) and Cold Mountain (2003).

A personal decision to concentrate on films he wholeheartedly believed in resulted in his return to the United Kingdom to take the lead as Pete Dunham in Green Street (2005) (also known as Green Street Hooligans, Hooligans and The Yank).

His most recent role was Patric - a member of the Ecoterrorist group 'The Fishes' - in Children of Men (2006) directed by Alfonso Cuarón. It is a film adaptation of the P.D. James novel of the same title.
