The Golden Globe winner was part of this nostalgic '00s TV show.
And his latest gig, portraying Elvis in the new Baz Luhrmann-directed film, did not disappoint, with many calling for him to win an Oscar for his performance.
Knowing the important place the former rock'n'roll icon still has in the hearts of the world, Austin did not take the role of Elvis for granted and did everything in his power to prepare for it. Spending two years immersed in his character, Austin mastered Elvis' iconic voice after studying a lot of footage of the icon.
"I would take an interview or a speech that he had on stage where he is talking to the audience, and I would practice it as though I was trying to get it to be exact," he toldOh, and he spent some time with Priscilla Presley to ensure his portrayal of Elvis, from singing to dancing, was accurate. Casual.
Alongside Butler in the other key roles is Tom Hanks, who plays Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker. Olivia DeJonge will also appear as Elvis' wife Priscilla Presley, along with Yola Quartey as musician Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Luke Bracey as talent manager Jerry Schilling. What a film! Basically, after working in the industry pretty much all of his life, Austin has officially entered the Hollywood elite - so you can expect to see more of him on the big screen.
