ACTOR BIO

Three years ago, People magazine named this highly-gifted actor one of the "World's Most Beautiful People," and we definitely concur!

Andrews has appeared in the independent film Animals, directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, and starred in director Neil Jordan's The Brave One, where he portrayed co-star Jodie Foster's love interest. He also starred in director Robert Rodriguez's zombie movie, Planet Terror, which was accompanied by a slasher film directed by Quentin Tarantino and released in 2007 under the title Grind House.

Though he was born and raised in London and is of Indian descent, Andrews says he has found his true home in Hollywood. He began his entertainment career as a teenage musician, guitarist and composer. He won entry to the prestigious Guildhall School of Drama during a time that also produced screen stars Ewan McGregor and David Thewlis. Fresh out of university, he was cast in Hanif Kureishi's look at the London rave scene, London Kills Me, He went on to put his musical talents to work in his next film, Wild West, starring as a Pakistani who dreams of finding country music success in Nashville. For this role, he was nominated for the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Newcomer.

Andrews then broke out into the international spotlight starring as Lt. Kip Singh, the Sikh with a talent for defusing bombs who finds a romantic connection with co-star Juliet Binoche—the English patient's nurse— in the Academy Award-winning romantic epic, The English Patient. On the heels of that success, he went on to star in a wide variety of films, including Mira Nair's Kama Sutra, Mighty Joe Young, True Love and Chaos, Rollerball and Drowning on Dry Land, opposite Barbara Hershey (with whom he is now partnered).

Andrews' ability to portray such a variety of roles and nationalities, combined with his depth, sensuality and musical talent, makes him a true rarity.
