So, the answer to the question: was Gerard Butler in a magician movie? The answer is yes, he was in The Phantom of the Opera.Īngel Has Fallen, the third film in the Fallen series, follows the story of Angel as he attempts to locate his missing daughter. The movie was a huge success and Butler’s performance earned him a nomination for Best Actor at the Academy Awards. Released in 2004, the film was an adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and starred Butler as the mysterious phantom living beneath the Paris Opera House. But what many people don’t know is that he has also had a foray into the magical world, starring in the critically acclaimed movie The Phantom of the Opera. It was certainly a bizarre casting choice, that may have had a lot to do of being instantly smitten and caffeine riddled, but it was one that actually worked.Gerard Butler is a Scottish actor best known for his roles in films such as 300, Law Abiding Citizen, and Olympus Has Fallen. I mention him particularly because he was made in the likeness of the non-Tom Selleck looking Brawny paper towel man. The movie featured the likes of Patrick Wilson, Emmy Rossum, and Minnie Driver. Now, I mention Butler not because no other notable people starred. Who knew that a version of Phantom of the Opera, starring Gerard Butler of all people, would captivate a bunch of millennial tweens? But thankfully, no awful, early 2000's fashion abuse befell him because as it turned out, we were all enthralled by the musical. Like all insufferable 13-year-olds, we sat there, arms crossed, eyes rolled as he slid in the DVD and hid in the corner in fear of having sidekick phones, fanny packs, and Kangol hats being pelted at him. It was in lieu of our class trip to Broadway, that was unceremoniously canceled for no apparent reason at all (still bitter about it). Ten years ago, when I was in 8th grade, my guilt ridden chorus teacher bought us the Phantom of the Opera movie as a peace offering.
