From king to spy, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has fun By Bill Goodykoontz Arizona Republic, February 3, 2010 Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a gentle-seeming, thoughtful Irish fellow, is not who comes to mind when you think of action heroes. Which is precisely why he’s in “From Paris With Love,” playing James Reece, a desk jockey itching to get into the spy game, something with which loose-cannon agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta) is more than willing to assist him.
