Actor Stuart Townsend has been famous for a number of things that aren't likely on many people's wish lists. So, number one, he was famously (and highly luckily) the boyfriend of the incredible Charlize Theron. Unfortunately, after some years of unwedded bliss, they split up. He was also up for the part of Aragorn in the massively successful "Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy, but after one or two days of shooting they decided he wasn't right for the part and got Viggo Mortensen instead. He did do a credible job as the not-quite-indestructible Dorian Gray in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", but beyond that, he's been somewhat quiet (but he did have a recurring role on "Robot Chicken"). Thus, he's been a bit more defined by his failures than by his successes, even though bedding Theron even once would have to be considered a success in my book.
Apparently not anymore, as the picture below (which caused a bit of a stir when the trailer aired on morning TV in the U.S.) attests. He's going to be in a show that's somewhat like the Richard Gere - Diane Lane vehicle "Unfaithful". The trailer (findable at the linked Daily Mail article) indicates an acceptable level of melodrama.
