His deep southern drawl, even deeper blue eyes and good looks have him sometimes confused with fellow southerner Matthew McConaughey, but Arkansas native Josh Lucas is certainly his own man. Flashing his acting chops aside Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama and starring with Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind , Lucas proved he is one to watch. It was his powerful performances in Glory Road and Poseidon, though that really cemented his star quality. He is currently filming Who Killed Daniel Pearl? based on the book by Bernard-Henri Levy. Lucas is the YouthAIDS Ambassador.
