James McAvoy (born 1979) is a BAFTA-winning Scottish actor.

McAvoy's first roles were in David Hayman's The Near Room in 1995 and then as Anthony Balfour in Gillies MacKinnon's Regeneration in 1997.

McAvoy got his first big international break playing the role of Leto Atreides II in the Sci Fi Channel miniseries Children of Dune (adapted from Frank Herbert’s novels) which aired in 2003.

In 2004 he starred as Steve McBride in another Abbott-written drama series, Shameless on Channel 4, for which he was nominated for the British Comedy Award for Best TV Newcomer. In 2005, he played Ben in the Royal Court Theatre's production Breathing Corpses,as well as the role of Mr. Tumnus, the Faun in Disney and Walden Media's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

In 2006 he starred alongside Forest Whitaker in an adaptation of Giles Foden’s novel The Last King of Scotland based on the (factual) events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin’s regime as seen by his (fictional) personal physician during the 1970s. He took the lead, Brian Jackson, in Starter for Ten (the adaptation of the David Nicholls novel of the same name), and will star alongside Christina Ricci in Penelope.

McAvoy has roles in two as-yet unreleased films for 2007- Becoming Jane and Atonement. McAvoy will next work on the film adaptation of Wanted, and is rumoured to be in the running to play Montgomery Scott in the upcoming eleventh Star Trek film.

McAvoy won the new Mary Selway/Orange Rising Star Award at the 2006 BAFTA Awards.
