Cary Elwes Biography

Cary Elwes has captivated audiences for decades with his undeniable charm, impeccable comedic timing, and commanding performances across film and television. Best known for his iconic turn in "The Princess Bride," Elwes went on to star in fan-favorite films such as "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," "Saw," "Twister," and "Glory." His ability to seamlessly shift between drama, comedy, and action has cemented him as one of Hollywood’s most versatile actors.

Raised in a family with deep artistic roots, Elwes honed his craft at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before making his film debut in "Another Country" alongside Rupert Everett and Colin Firth. His breakout role in "The Princess Bride" turned him into a Hollywood leading man, with his portrayal of Westley becoming a beloved cinematic icon. The film’s cult status propelled him into a series of memorable performances, proving his ability to bring humor, heart, and heroism to the screen.

Building on that momentum, Elwes continued to thrive throughout the ’90s and 2000s with standout performances in "Liar Liar" opposite Jim Carrey, the psychological thriller "Saw," and historical dramas like "Glory" and "The Pentagon Wars." He further expanded his repertoire with voice work in animated hits such as "Quest for Camelot" and "Family Guy," while also earning praise for his commanding presence in both television and film.

In recent years, Elwes has starred in scene-stealing roles in "Stranger Things," "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One," and "Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire." His guest appearances in hit series like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "The Artful Dodger" have reaffirmed his status as a dynamic performer, while his bestselling memoir, "As You Wish," became a must-read for fans. He returned to the action-packed world of "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two" and "Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver" and also appeared in Guy Ritchie's 2024 film, "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare."
