10 - Jude Law
Born in London in 1972, Law began his career in 1993 in a stage production of Pygmalion. The hop from stage to screen proved a clever one, and this hot British star is now a regular award nominee, most recently for his role in Cold Mountain.

9 - Colin Firth
Emerging from the pond as D'Arcy in the BBC's production of Pride And Prejudice may have been the moment that crystallized his unique brand of surly sensuality, but Firth is currently one of the UK's most versatile leading men, with roles in Fever Pitch, Bridget Jones's Diary and Girl With A Pearl Earring to his name.

8 - Hugh Grant
Hugh Grant shot to fame in 1993 after a decade of bad B-movies. The film that propelled him to superstardom was, of course, Four Weddings And A Funeral; the role which defined him for almost a decade afterwards, although his performances in Bridget Jones' Diary and About A Boy have shown he can do more than play the repressed English toff.

7 - Michael Caine
The personification of Brit cool, 'My name is...Michael Caine' was even immortalised in song by Madness. A brief list of the characters brought to life by this great actor is all the justification needed for his inclusion on this list: Alfie, Harry Palmer, Carter and Charlie Croker.

6 - Alan Rickman
Throughout his career, Rickman's soothing baritone and commanding presence have added gravitas to the archest of villains (the Sheriff in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves) and the most romantic leads (Truly, Madly, Deeply). A much loved favourite.
