A constant source of annoyance to me is that, since his big debut in Love Actually and Nanny McPhee, both films that got a big release in the U.S., there has not since been another film that actually made him more well known. Many people I know have never heard of him, while others (the great majority) forever link him to the aforementioned films. Sure, there was Bright Star in 2009, about the poet John Keats and his romance with a girl named Fanny Brawne, buyThomas only played a supporting role. And in Nowhere Boy, Paul basically took a backseat to the drama in John's family, and the U.S. release was only limited, and not nationwide. 
But all that could change with the release of Death of a Superhero. It has just been announced that the film has been "snapped up" by film distributors in the U.S., Canada (where it originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival), and Latin America. This is especially big news, as not only is it a British film, and not all British films get major releases internationally, but it's an Irish independent film. It is also Thomas's first leading role. He stars in the film alongside Andy Serkis (of The Lord of the Rings fame) and Aisling Loftus.
