TORONTO '07 | Sam Riley and Alexandra Maria Lara Work It in Toronto

"I was in a rut before doing this... always lazy and doing shit jobs. But doing this [film] gave me direction and I loved getting up in the morning. I couldn't believe my luck!" said actor Sam Riley pictured here outside the party for his film "Control," directed by Anton Corbijn Friday night with co-star Alexandra Maria Lara. Getting the gig wasn't the only benefit for the 27 year-old actor, art met reality with Lara whom he met and fell for during production. "When I saw her walk in the room, that was it..." The British actor has now taken up residence in Lara's hometown, Berlin. iW can't wait to see more of him.
