Soon after the success of DISTRICT 9, Sharlto Copley found himself playing a number of unique and fascinating characters. From ELYSIUM to THE A-TEAM, the actor clearly enjoyed playing wildly varied roles. In his latest, he portrays a man desperate for power even if it means giving up his true love. Once again, Copley gives his all in the fantastical MALEFICENT, opposite Angelina Jolie.

We at JoBlo.com have been a fan of this actor for a long time. He is one of the most intriguing talents around and it is always a pleasure to see him take a chance or two. When I sat down with him, he did something that was very necessary… He helped me pronounce the name of the movie. The actor then went on to discuss taking a familiar character and giving him a modern twist. If you’d like to see this incredible actor star opposite Ms. Angelina Jolie, you can catch MALEFICENT this Friday at a theatre near you.
