So clearly he hasn’t had difficulty keeping busy, but still, there’s no question that playing Wolverine was a game-changer for Hugh Jackman.
In the years since X-Men’s release, Dougray Scott’s credits have included Desperate Housewives, Hemlock Grove, Taken 3, Doctor Who and Fear the Walking Dead.
X-Men was Jackman’s first American production, and playing the popular comic book character paved the way for him to star in movies like Van Helsing, The Prestige, Australia and Real Steel, and elevating him to Hollywood star status.
It’s a shame that Scott missed out on the opportunity to the gruff Marvel hero, but hey, maybe there’s an alternate universe out there he’s the one who ended up playing Wolverine for almost 20 years.
