Who starred as Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's 2004 epic film "Alexander"?

Colin James Farrell (born 31 May 1976) is an Irish actor. He first appeared in the BBC drama series "Ballykissangel" (1998), then made his film debut in the drama film "The War Zone" (1999), and was discovered by Hollywood upon taking the lead role in the war drama film "Tigerland" (2000). He then portrayed outlaw Jesse James in the Western film "American Outlaws" (2001) before starring in the thriller films "Phone Booth" (2002), "S.W.A.T.", and "The Recruit" (both 2003), establishing his international box office appeal.

Farrell played the title role of Alexander the Great in Oliver Stone's 2004 biographical film "Alexander", which, while receiving some favourable reviews internationally, was poorly received in the United States. Its portrayal of the conqueror as bisexual was controversial; the film was criticised by some historians for its treatment of the ancient Persians, although others praised it for its accuracy.
