- Known for his portrayal of Dracula from Van Helsing.
- Assumes a different accent and octave-level for each character, with his character's voices ranging from the wimpy screech he used as the Duke for "Moulin Rouge" to his rich, deep Romanian accent as Dracula in "Van Helsing.".
- Met Italian actress Silvia Colloca during the filming of Van Helsing. He played Dracula and she played his wife. They got married a year later in Tuscany, Italy.
- He played Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002) and his arch-enemy Professor James Moriarty in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003).
- Is the youngest of his six siblings.
- The mouth piece he wore as the Fantom in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" (2003) distorted his voice so much that he had to redub his dialogue for the film's release.
- I don't really have preferred roles except those with some complexity.
- Dancing with Kate Beckinsale made me very excited.
- You know honestly I think there's a Dracula, a Wolf Man, and a Frankenstein's Monster in all of us. They are sides of our own character so that's why I think we can relate to them in terms of a 'I know how that feels' kind of thing.
- You have to sort of see the way that the character behaves, and what the character says and does, and claim it in the same way that you claim anything, really.
- My most difficult thing so far, to be brutally honest, has been to waltz as if I knew what I was doing.
