What’s he been in before?

Hunky Vincent, 55, is no stranger to flexing his muscles and getting down and dirty.

The star has appeared in no less than three action-adventure movies (Troy, 300 and Clash Of The Titans).

Is Vincent Regan Scottish?

Even though many people think Vincent is Scottish, he is not.

Vincent was actually born in Swansea in Wales.

He’s the son of Irish immigrants and, as a youth, he moved to Ireland with his parents.

However, he moved back to England and attended college in Ipswich before he went to the Academy Of Live and Recorded Arts in London.

Was he in Game Of Thrones?

Even though Vincent has appeared in all kinds of medieval-set dramas and is a dab hand at wielding a sword, he has not been in Game Of Thrones.

The medieval-fantasy series has an army of fans across the world and was a huge hit.

However, despite looking as though he could be in Game Of Thrones, rugged Vincent has never actually been in it.

Is Vincent married?

Sorry ladies, this silver fox is taken.

In 2011, Vincent married British actress Amelia Curtis.

You may have spotted Amelia in Coronation Street last year as Nathan’s barrister.
