In 1992, at age 18, he began attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London. However, he only received small roles in Academy productions and feeling isolated and directionless, he nearly gave up on several occasions. However, in 1995, in his final year, he was cast in Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler as George (Jörgen) Tesman, the husband of Hedda, the title character. This performance earned him the lead role in the 1996 TV remake of Poldark.

In 2007, he starred in the historical drama Amazing Grace as William Wilberforce, the British abolitionist, to critical acclaim for the role. Gruffudd has also portrayed Marvel Comics and DC Comics characters, having starred as Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards) in Marvel’s Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), and provided the voice of Mister Miracle in DC’s Justice League Unlimited (2004–06).
