Ralph Fiennes, born December 22, 1962, is an English actor, known for his roles in Schindler’s List, the Harry Potter franchise, and more. Ralph was born in Ipswitch of Suffolk, England to artist parents and from an early age he and his six siblings were encouraged to embrace their creative passions.
He pursued painting before deciding acting was his calling, and then began performing Shakespeare on stage. His big Hollywood break would come in 1993 with the WWII drama Schindler’s List.
His career was on the fast track after, but Ralph’s fame would catapult to new levels in 2005 when he first appeared in the Harry Potter films as dark wizard Voldemort. He would continue his blockbuster run when he joined the James Bond universe as the head of MI6 in 2012.
Other notable projects include The English Patient (1996), Maid in Manhattan (2002), In Bruges (2008), The Hurt Locker (2009), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), and The Menu (2022). He’s also lent his voice to the animated movies The Prince of Egypt (1998), Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), and The Lego Batman Movie (2017.)
