Law began his career at the age of 15 when he began performing with Britain's National Youth Music Theatre. After appearing in a number of plays and films, his big break came with his portrayal of Oscar Wilde in the biopic Wilde. He moved to Hollywood after this success, where he was offered roles in films such as Gattaca, Road to Perdition, Closer, Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley. Cold Mountain and The Talented Mr. Ripley, both directed by the late Anthony Minghella, earned Law two Academy Award nominations, one for a supporting role and one for a lead role.

Law is set to star in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which is scheduled for release in 2009. He is also scheduled to appear as Hamlet in Kenneth Brannagh's stage production of William Shakespeare's play.
