Irish-born actor Aidan McArdle got his start working in British television, where, in addition to the usual guest-star roles, he found a niche starring in a surprisingly varied set of biographical films: in two short years, he portrayed everyone from John the Baptist to Albert Einstein, iconoclastic classical composer Igor Stravinsky to comedy legend Dudley Moore. His film work ranges from the fairy-tale reworking "Ella Enchanted" (in which he played an elf opposite his real-life cousin, British actor Steve Coogan) to the historical dramas "The Duchess" and "Me and Orson Welles." In 2008, he co-starred in the television series "Beautiful People," based on the memoir of fashion designer Simon Doonan.
