Although how famous was Bale back when AOTC came out?

He had been in a lot of high profile movies by that time and his name was well known. He had been in Disney's Treasure Island with Charlton Heston, Spielberg's Empire of the Sun, American Psycho, and The Newsies, to name a few off the top of my head.

In 2002, the same year AOTC was released, he starred in the (semi) Fahrenheit 451 adaption titled Equilibrium and was big enough to have his name advertised on the movie poster (though I think the movie was a bit of a flop, I for one rather liked it).

I guess he was a mid to low level movie star. Not particuarly more famous than Ewan McGregor was (although i think a bit old for Anakin).

But he did kick ass in Newsies.
