Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've been able to update my page so I figured I'd write you a quick note to let you know what's been going on. Stardust is completely finished. It turned out great and I can't wait for it to hit theaters. As for the Tudors, I'm still currently shooting for that. I am very excited because I have a sneak peak video for you to whet your appetite for what's to come. You can click on the link or cut and paste it and it should work. http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/scp_v3/viewer/index.php?pid=16685&rn=245724&cl=932959&ch=932933 Thanks again for being such great fans and for all the love and support you send me each day.
I love you all, Henry

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give you an update on what's been going on the past few months. It's been awhile since I last wrote you. We finished filming Stardust at the end of July. The release date is scheduled in the United States on March 9, 2007. The movie turned out really well and I can't wait for you all to see it. If you don't remember I will be playing a character called Humphrey. Though he's not the main character, I believe you will enjoy my part and fall in love with my character as much as I have. I have some pictures from the movie in my picture section. I will try to put more up each week. Some are pictures I took. Others are pictures I got from some friends who were taking photos during the filming process as well. I hope you enjoy them and thanks again for being the best fans in the world.
Love, Henry

Goofs from Tristan and Isolde: - Factual errors: The poem Isolde reads, John Donne's "The Good Morrow," is a work of the 17th century, much later than the movie's time period.
- Revealing mistakes: When Isolde and Tristan are having their first secret talk in the market, you can see that Isolde is wearing contact lenses.
- Errors made by characters: Isolde's accent constantly veers between mild Irish and English - at some points even sounding almost American.
- Continuity: In the beginning scenes, when young Tristan is carrying his rabbit in his hands past the market stalls, he gets a sprig of something to make his mum the bracelet, and the rabbit disappears from his hands. We know he kept it as it is seen in the scene immediately after inside the keep roasting over a spit.
- Errors in geography: The map in the movie shows Dunluce Castle as being further South than Bangor. Dunluce is actually significantly further North than Bangor.
- Factual errors: Addressing a crowd of his men, King Mark mentions that they all must ride off into the forest that night, citing a tradition to ride out on the night of the full moon. The camera then cuts to a shot of a waxing half moon, followed by one of the men riding off on their "full moon" ride.
- Anachronisms: In the scene when the barons are gathered, Marke addresses one group as the group from York. Since this movie is set just after the Roman withdrawal from England, York would have still been known as Eboracum.
- Continuity: When Isolde is trying to talk to Tristan in the market his hair is parted to the side. When she pulls him off to the side, his hair is separated in the middle at his forehead, his having no time to move it that way, as Isolde was holding his hands.
- Factual errors: After learning of her betrothal to Morholt, Isolde asks, "Am I just a chattel to be traded?" In the Dark Ages (centuries before and after as well) it was customary for women to be traded by their fathers.
- Anachronisms: Marke's castle is stone built in the "motte and bailey" style with a keep and a drawbridge. These didn't exist in Britain until after the Norman invasion - about five hundred years after this film is supposed to be set. Britons, either Celts or Anglo-Saxons built large earthwork defenses or walled their towns with wooden palisades.
- Factual errors: The dogs sitting next to the Irish King in one scene was a Whippets. The Whippet was originally used in Northern England for racing and hunting rabbits, but not in Ireland. The Whippet also only dates back to the 1800s, far after the time frame of the movie.
- Anachronisms: While it is highly unlikely that Isolde would have worn a wedding ring. The Roman custom vanished and did not come back into vogue until the late Middle Ages. In any case, Marke certainly would not have worn one himself. A woman was her husband's property, and the wedding ring was a literal symbol of that ownership. The custom of men also wearing wedding rings is relatively new
- Plot holes: SPOILER: When Tristan asks to be brought to the river when he is about to die, Isolde is back on land despite the fact that a couple of scenes before, he sends her away on the boat and Bragnae stops her from getting off

Ok guys, so if you think you couldn't get enough of me, I'm also allowed to announce that Showtime is going to be picking up 10 episodes of a dramatic series called "The Tudors." Being a history fan, this is a dream role so I'm very excited about this opportunity.
'The Tudors' will focus on the rarely dramatized, tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII's nearly 40-year omnipotent reign (1509-1547) of England. In addition to dalliances with famous female consorts Catherine of Aragon and the infamous Anne Boleyn, the series delves into Henry's most notable political relationships, including those with philosopher Sir Thomas More, Cardinal Wolsey, head of the Catholic Church of England during its break with Rome, and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk and Henry VIII's closest friend.
I will be working alongside of Sam Neill, Jeremy Northam, and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. (Neill portrays Cardinal Wolsey, Northam plays Sir Thomas More, Jonathan Rhys-Meyes plays a young Henry VIII and I will portray Charles Brandon. Michael Hirst, series creator, writer, and executive producer, is writing all 10 episodes of 'The Tudors'. Ben Silverman of Reveille, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title, Gary Howsam of Peace Arch Entertainment Group and Morgan O'Sullivan of World 2000 will also executive produce. Emmy-winning television director Charles McDougall will helm at least the first two episodes of the series, which is scheduled to air on the network in early 2007 after filming is completed in Ireland.
Are you excited yet? I sure am. Thanks for all your support.
Henry

I wanted to apologize to you for not telling you sooner but I wasn't allowed to reveal any information until now. I will be starring in a film called Stardust. It is going to be released in 2007. I am currently in London right now filming, and I will be playing a character called Humphrey. I will be working alongside such names as Robert DiNero, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Claire Danes to name a few (so you know it's going to be awesome!). The movie is based of the novel by Neil Gaiman and Matthew Vaughn is directing the film. I'll let you know of more details as it arises.
Love you all, Henry
