Since making his breakthrough with TV roles on shows such as State of Play and Shameless, James McAvoy has become one of the UK\u2019s most reliable and versatile acting talents.<\/p>\n

To date, his film career has seen him develop an impressive and varied credits list, appearing in everything from comic book blockbuster fare such as the X-Men movies to acclaimed historical dramas like The Last King of Scotland.<\/p>\n

Arguably his greatest performance so far came in M Night Shyamalan\u2019s Split, in which he played the multiple personalities of dissociative identity disorder sufferer Kevin Wendell Crumb (a role he later reprised in Glass), while other highlights have included the epic war romance Atonement and the Irvine Welsh adaptation Filth.<\/p>\n

To celebrate McAvoy\u2019s 43rd birthday, we\u2019ve compiled a list of his greatest film roles \u2013 and we\u2019re sure there\u2019s much more to come from the Scottish star in the future as well.<\/p>\n
