Macfadyen was most recently seen in the Warner Bros. film "The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood," starring opposite Sandra Bullock and Ellen Burstyn.

Educated in France, Macfadyen attended the University of Edinburgh and the Central School of Speech and Drama. He began his acting career on the stage at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he took part in such plays as "The Tempest," "Cloud Nine" and "The Immortal."
