Biography: As
the grizzled warrior Campbell in Braveheart, James Cosmo impressed
filmgoers worldwide. His impassioned performance made it seem possible
that such a man as Campbell really existed 700 years ago.
But it
was not only Cosmo's formidable acting skills -- honed in scores of
film and television productions dating back to the '60s -- that
animated his performance. It was also his real-life love of Scotland.
He often played tough characters due to his imposing stature. In 2005,
he played Father Christmas in The Chronicles of Narnia: The
Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
