Adrien Brody

The non-standard appearance of individual actors allows them to stand out favorably against the background of their colleagues in the shop, which is undoubtedly a plus. But this medal also has a downside - such actors often become hostages of the image. Ron Perlman, Tilda Swinton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Dinklage and Priyanka Chopra - they more or less managed to get rid of their roles, but this company is clearly far from the results of Adrian Brody.

The future actor was born in Woodhaven County, located in Queens, one of the districts of New York. It happened on April 14, 1973 in the family of historian Elliot Brody and his wife, photojournalist Sylvia Plachi. Both parents are Jewish.

From childhood, Adrian showed an outstanding acting talent - at the age of 12, the boy had already performed at children's events, and a little later he began to pose for photographs of his mother - then Brody learned to behave competently in front of the camera.

After graduating from regular school, he entered the Fiorello LaGuardia Graduate School of Music, Art and Performing Arts, and then the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Adrian made his screen debut at the age of fifteen, starring in David De's television drama "Finally at home."

The very next year Brody managed to get into the film almanac "New York Stories", filmed in the genre of comedy melodrama. This film was notable for the fact that Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Francis Ford Copplola, Mia Farrow, Nick Nolte, Rosanna Arquette, Giancarlo Giannini and a number of other equally famous masters of their craft worked on it.

In 1993, the young actor starred in the historical drama King of the Hill directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven, Side Effect, Logan's Luck) starring Jesse Bradford, Spaulding Gray and Lisa Eichhorn. Two years later, Brody played the main role in the drama "Darling Jersey" directed by Eric Bross ("Deadly Fiction", "In Touch", "The Boy Who Told About a Werewolf").

In the same year, the crime thriller Bullet was released - a cult film with Mickey Rourke and rapper Tupac (with whom, by the way, Adrian had a friendship), where Brody also appeared. The cult picture was shot by the popular video maker Julien Temple in those years.

In 1997, Adrian co-starred with Thomas Jane and Keanu Reeves in the drama "Suicide" directed by Stephen T. Kay based on the biography of Neil Cassidy, an outstanding representative of the beatnik culture and comrade Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs.

At the same time, together with Norman Reedus and Deborah Harry Brody, he starred in the crime drama Blood and Milk, directed by Adam Bernstein, who later directed individual episodes of the series Clinic, Californication and Breaking Bad.

The following year, the actor was lucky enough to star in the war drama The Thin Red Line. The film was directed by Terrence Malick (Wasteland, Tree of Life, Song by Song) based on the book by James Jones. The film stars Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, James Caviezel, John Cusack, Ben Chaplin and Woody Harrelson. After this tape, they started talking seriously about Brody. However, it was still far from starring roles.

1999 was remembered by the actor for his participation in the crime thriller Spike Lee ("Not caught - not a thief", "25th hour") "Sam's Bloody Summer." The film was based on a series of crimes by a maniac nicknamed Son of Sam, and the main roles, in addition to Brody, were played by John Leguizamo and Mira Sorvino.

In 2001, Adrian starred in the film adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's novel The Queen's Necklace directed by Charles Shayer (Father of the Bride, I Love Trouble, Alfie Handsome). The film stars Hilary Swank, Jonathan Price, Brian Cox, Simon Baker, Christopher Walken and others.

A year later, Roman Polanski (Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, Gateway Nine) directed the film The Pianist, in which Brody played the lead role. The picture told about the life of a really living Polish Jewish pianist Vladislav Shpilman. "The Pianist" has received a number of awards, including "Cesar", "Palme d'Or" and as many as three "Oscars" (one of which went directly to Adrian).

The next high-profile role of the actor was in the dramatic horror of M. Night Shyamalan ("The Sixth Sense", "Split", "After our era") "Mysterious Forest". In addition to the unexpected ending, the film was remembered by the audience for its high-quality cast, which included Joaquin Phoenix, Sigourney Weaver, Brendan Gleeson, William Hurt and others.

In the same 2004, the fantastic detective "Jacket", directed by John Maybury, the screenwriter of the series "Rome", "Borgia" and "Marco Polo", was released. The film is based on the book "The Interstellar Wanderer" by Jack London (also published under the titles "The Straightjacket" and "The Wanderer by the Stars"). In addition to Adrian, the cast also featured Keira Knightley, Daniel Craig and Chris Kristofferson.

In 2005, Brody took part in the second remake of King Kong from 1933 (the first was filmed in 1976 by John Gillermin, and the third in 2017 by Jordan Vot-Roberts). At the helm of the project was the already famous Peter Jackson ("Alien Stew", "Living Dead", the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy), and among the actors-performers were the names of Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Andy Serkis, Thomas Krechman, Colin Hanks (Tom's son Hanks) and Jamie Bell.

In 2008, Adrian starred in Cadillac Records, a drama by Darnella Martin, about the music business in Chicago in the 1950s, as well as in the thriller Jallo by cult director Dario Argento. In 2009, the actor took part in the filming of the fantastic horror movie Chimera, directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Limb, American Gods). The film also stars Sarah Polley, Brandon McGibon and David Hewlett.

The next year was also marked by a fantastic horror movie, this time by Nimrod Antal's Predators (Vacancy for a Victim, Cash Cashier, Metallica: Through the Impossible). In order to play a worthy replacement for Schwarzenegger, thin and tall Adrian (the actor's height is 185 cm) had to gain more than 10 kilograms of muscle mass. This allowed Brody to look spectacular against the background of no less colorful Topher Grace, Oleg Taktarov, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo and Alice Braga.

In addition, in 2010, Brody starred in the psychological thriller Experiment with Cam Gigandet, Clifton Collins Jr. and Forest Whitaker. Paul Scheuring's tape became a remake of the German film of the same name, which was based on the book by Mario Giordano "Black Box". Interestingly, the book itself was written on the basis of a real prison experiment in California.

In 2011, Adrian starred in the drama "Replacement Teacher," directed by American History X director Tony Kay. The actor was accompanied on the set by Lucy Liu and Sami Gail. In 2013, Brody starred in Peaky Blinders, a crime drama starring Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson and Sophie Rundle.

A year later came the comedy detective "The Grand Budapest Hotel" by Wes Anderson ("Rushmore Academy", "The Kingdom of the Full Moon"), based on the stories of Stefan Zweig. A whole galaxy of famous actors was involved in the film: Rafe Fiennes, Jude Law, Tom Wilkinson, Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel, Jeff Goldblum and others.

This was followed by the mystical thriller "The Retreat" by Michael Petroni, screenwriter for "Queen of the Damned" and "The Rite", in which Adrian played the role of psychologist Peter Bowers, who accidentally discovered that his clients are not who they say they are. In the same year, Brody played the main role in the biopic series Houdini by Uli Edel (Ring of the Nibelungen, Life Changes You).

In 2015, Adrian, along with Jackie Chan and John Cusack, starred in the historical action movie Dragon Sword by Daniel Lee. The last film to be released for 2017 with the participation of Adrian Brody is the crime thriller "Chain Dog" directed by Paul Solet ("Grace", "Undead", "City of Monsters"). The film also stars Antonio Banderas, John Malkovich and Rory Culkin, the brother of Macaulay Culkin.

In the early nineties, Brody met with model Sky Nellor, from whom he later left for actress and singer Mona Happy Mazur. But the relationship with her did not last long either.

In 2007, Adrian met and began dating actress Elsa Pataky. Their relationship came to an engagement, but not to a wedding. Pataky is currently married to actor Chris Hemsworth, and Brody is in a relationship with model Lara Lieto.

Adrian has never married and has no children.

Soon, at least two films with Adrian will be released: Xiao Feng's war drama Bombing, in which Brody will star with Jackie Chan and Bruce Willis, and the historical drama The Emperor, in which the actor will be accompanied by Sophie Cookson, Thomas Kretschman , Oliver Platt and Bill Skarsgard.

Also in development are two more films with the participation of Brody - the comedy by Christopher Thompson "Cannes" and the action movie Brian Tucker "The End". In both cases, Adrian is assigned the main role.

The actor likes to spend his free time at home, playing with his dogs. On his Instagram account, Brody often posts photos and short videos highlighting his life outside the set.
