4/His current ongoing project among those 20 TV outings is the 10-episode animated adult series Crossing Swords which aired on 12 June 20. He has the lead voice role as Patrick the King’s Squire – a sort of Palace teaboy if you like! He is also credited as a “consulting producer” of the series.
5/In the pipeline for Hoult is the big screen thriller “Those who Wish me Dead” – I like the sound of it: precisely my kind of movie – at post-production stage and scheduled for US release on 23 Oct 2020 the coronovirus/backlogs permitting. Nick’s co-star is Angelina Jolie and in the cast lists that I’ve seen he gets billed above her. If that’s an accurate reflection he certainly seems to be moving up in the movie world.
6/As it is IMDB credits Nick with 11 acting awards and 14 noms; and Celebrity Net Worth calculates his current net worth at $6 million. Therefore all-told he certainly has done enough even to date to merit a Cogerson new page; so another fine choice Bruce once more illustrating the diversity of your site – congratulations again. Think of the even greater things you would be producing if this site were your day job and not a hobby! You have to earn a living of course but you COULD stop taking all these road trips!!! Steve was away the previous fortnight so among the 3 of us I am the only guy who has kept his nose to the grindstone – and I’ m supposed to be retired!
Hey Bob….thanks for the information on his tv roles, his net worth and his upcoming movie. I think he might be playing the villain in the new Mission Impossible movie…whenever that comes out. As for our trips….this one is almost over….and we now have possession of my granddaughter. Good stuff….and Happy Father’s Day to you.
1/Nick’s top 5 movies in the table above [his only ones to crash the domestic Cogerson $100 million barrier but with a combined adjusted Cogerson worldwide gross of $2.8 billion/average per movie $560 million – wow!] hold no interest for me.
2/I have though seen his Jack the Giant Slayer [in which he had the title role and The Favourite. I cannot remember him a lot in the former but very much enjoyed his supporting role in the latter. Jack the Giant Slayer is the one in which all the bad giants have the Belfast accents that I and my fellow citizens possess; and all the good giants speak with English or American accents. And many people will argue that racism doesn’t exist in the film community!
3/Nick made a video game and a musical video both in 2010 and had been in 20 TV presentations from 1996 until the present. The only two of those that I can recall seeing him in are
(1) a 2002 episode of the British courtroom drama series Judge John Deed [a big fave of mine] starring Martin Shaw. The episode is called “Everybody’s Child”
(2) a 2008 episode called “Sidetracked” of Kenneth Branagh’s British TV detective series Wallander which ran from 2008-2016. It should not be confused with the Swedish-language version of the same stories with different actors which ran from 2006-2013 – nor confused with Mats Wilander Bruce! Both versions are currently highly rated on IMDB: Swedish 76% and Branagh 79%. I haven’t seen the Swedish version but Kenneth was a tour de force in his interpretation of the character who was a very complex being.
Hey Bob….thanks for the thoughts on Nicholas Hoult. Good breakdown of his movies….that is indeed an impressive Top 5. I like his smaller movies more than his big-budget super franchise movies. I thought Jack The Giant Slayer and The Favourite were good but not great movies. Kudos for getting a Mats Wilander mention in your comment. Good stuff.
HI BIG BOY
Thanks for the feedback. Somebody should be writing this down: I agree with everything you say in both parts of your response! Thanks for sharing the Mission Impossible information.
Happy father’s day to you as well.
Oh! My Pa-Pa (O Mein Papa)
Sung by Eddie Fisher
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so good
No one could be so gentle and so lovable
Oh, my pa-pa, he always understood
Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he’d change my tears to laughter
Oh, my pa-pa, so funny, so adorable
Always the clown, so funny in his way
Oh, my pa-pa, to me he was so wonderful
Deep in my heart I miss him so today
My top 3 Nicholas Hoult movies. About A Boy what a great child performance. Skins, not a movie but he is outstanding in the role. Mad Max: Fury Road, exciting from start to finish.
Hey Max….I liked About A Boy a lot. I thought Mad Max Fury Road, could have used a little bit more of a story. I have not seen Skins. Thanks for the feedback.
I just realized that Nicholas Hoult was the boy in About A Boy. Now I feel dumb. I knew about his X-Men movies and his romance with JenLaw, but never realized he was the boy in that movie.
Hey Taylor…glad we could help connect those dots for you. Another modern star…per your request…but the next page is a classic one. Good stuff.
Another great UMR page.
Good actor.
Thanks Mike……he was one of the two modern day stars I wrote about, before leaving for this mini-vacation. Thanks for the kind words.
