in Adrien Brody
Adrien Brody (born April 14, 1973) is an American actor. He received widespread recognition when he was cast as the lead in Roman Polanski’s The Pianist (2002). The role won him an Academy Award for Best Actor, the youngest actor ever to win the award.
Brody was born in Woodhaven, Queens, New York, the son of Sylvia Plachy, a photojournalist, and Elliot Brody, a retired history professor and painter. Brody’s father is Jewish and his mother was born in Budapest, Hungary to a Catholic father and Jewish mother. As a child, Brody performed magic shows at children’s birthday parties as “The Amazing Adrien”. Brody attended New York’s Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts (famous as the inspiration for television’s Fame). His parents enrolled him in acting classes to distance him from the dangerous kids with whom he associated.
On January 5, 2006, Brody confirmed speculation that he indeed was interested and very willing to play the role of The Joker in 2008′s The Dark Knight. However, Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. eventually decided to cast Heath Ledger as The Joker. He was also in talks with Paramount to play Spock in J.J. Abrams Star Trek XI, but it ultimately went to Zachary Quinto. Brody has been confirmed to star as a con man in Rian Johnson’s The Brothers Bloom, which is slated for a 2008 release date.
Brody is currently dating Spanish actress Elsa Pataky.
