Hugh Jackman is much more than an action hero, although that made him rich. I saw a video of him playing the lead in Oklahoma and he was great. He has a terrific range of skills.
I enjoyed him in “Australia.” He’s playing P.T. Barnum in an upcoming film, and interestingly enough, he’s also playing a character named “Curly” in a new movie titled “Broadway 4D”, which is the same name of the “Oklahoma” role he played. He’s a good actor, and very versatile like you said.
