Bill Nighy will be forever grateful for his role on modern Christmas classic Love Actually because it made him famous in America.
The actor played aging rock and roll legend Billy Mack in the 2003 movie, which also starred Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley.
And Nighy is convinced his appearance in the all-star movie made him "castable" in the U.S. and changed the path of his career.
