Ivan Simon Cary Elwes (born October 26 1962) is an English actor and writer. He was born in Westminster, London, the youngest of three sons, and attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In 1981, he moved to the United States to study acting at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York.

Elwes's first film role was as Jame Harcourt in ''Film/AnotherCountry'', but he truly entered the public eye in Creator/RobReiner's cult classic, ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. Since then, Elwes has worked steadily in film, television, and voice-acting roles, balancing comedic projects with dramatic ones in nearly equal measure.

In October 2014, Simon and Schuster published his memoir ''As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride'', which he co-wrote with Creator/JoeLayden.
