Career[]

Hannah's big break came starring alongside a little known Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994.

Besides his scene-stealing role in Spartacus, he is probably best known for his bumbling, cowardly portrayal of Jon Carnahan in The Mummy series with Brendan Fraser. Besides the above roles, Hannah has appeared in main as well as minor roles on a lot of TV shows in the UK as well as the US, among those being Rebus and Alias.
