Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant is an actor starring in the Honor Among Thieves movie, released in 2023. He plays Forge Fitzwilliam, a rogue, a former member of the thieves, a conman, and the new Lord of Neverwinter, in a villainous role.

Career
A star of many period dramas and romantic comedies, Hugh Grant has also appeared in fantasy and science-fiction genre movies, including The Lair of the White Worm, Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death, Cloud Atlas, and Paddington 2.

He was reported on March 2, 2021, to have signed onto the Dungeons & Dragons movie, together with Sophia Lillis. Grant was initially reported to be playing a villainous role, as a character called "Forge Fletcher". In an interview with Screen Daily published on June 24, Grant said he hadn't played Dungeons & Dragons before but the movie, as a "great big, expensive Hollywood blockbuster" offered the chance to do something different and said "But more than that I laughed at the script. It's hard to please me, but it had real charm and moved me. I was certainly not expecting that." He could neither confirm nor deny reports that he'd be playing the villain.

Filming began in May and Hugh Grant was seen in costume at Wells Cathedral on June 12 and at Carrickfergus Castle on June 28 and 29.

Filming for Hugh Grant and Regé-Jean Page wrapped on August 8. This was reported soon after on Twitter by Jonathan Goldstein, who said "and damn are they good in this movie."
