Would like a short biography of Ioan Gruffudd (Please read details)

Can you write a short biography of this actor (3-4 ORIGINAL sentences -- no cutting and pasting).
Then please list the role(s) he's best known for, what he made his debut in, where he was born, any awards he's won, and anything else he's known for (charity work, a love of penguins, is fluent in Esperanto...).

Please show me where you got the information from -- and Wikipedia and IMDb are great, but they're user-edited, so I'd prefer to see more verifiable sources.
