What The Cast Of Underworld: Evolution Is Doing Today

"Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" is a prequel to the first "Underworld" movie, but utilizes many elements and characters from the first two films. Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen, and Kate Beckinsale all reprise their roles for the prequel, but so does Steven Mackintosh, who plays Andreas Tanis, a cowardly and opportunistic arms dealer who nevertheless proves to be a valuable source for information that drives the plot forward. It's interesting to see the prequel version of Tanis, a somewhat more dignified figure than the strung-out hedonist of "Underworld: Evolution."

Steven Mackintosh's acting career dates back to the 1980s, during which he appeared on numerous episodic TV shows and made-for-TV films, including a 1985 episode of "Doctor Who." By the time he appeared in "Underworld: Evolution," he had racked up an impressive list of credits under his belt, including "The Muppet Christmas Carol," "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels," and "The Mother," opposite Daniel Craig and Anne Reid.

Always a staple of British television, Mackintosh followed his "Underworld" tenure with roles on shows as varied as "Luther," "The Halcyon," "Wanderlust," and "Stan Lee's Lucky Man." He also appeared in the 2019 Elton John biopic, "Rocketman," while his most recent cinematic credit was the mystery thriller "The Postcard Killings."
