Childhood and youth


William Francis Nighy (the full name of the actor) was born on December 12, 1949 in the suburb of South London, the town of Caterham (Surrey). The actor was the youngest child in a family in which, in addition to him, his brother Martin and sister Anna were raised. The mother of the future actor, Catherine Josephine, worked as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital.

Father Alfred Martin was a chimney sweep. Bill's parents, being believers, raised their children based on religious teachings. It is known that in his youth, the master of reincarnation was even a novice in the local parish.

It is known from Naya's biography that he attended John Fischer's school, in which he became a member of the theater troupe. True, the actor did not manage to graduate from an educational institution and get a certificate of secondary education, as he failed the exams.

Bill's first job was as a messenger in Croydon. He tried to change his life by leaving for Paris as a sixteen-year-old teenager. But the bohemian life quickly became boring for the young man, and he returned to his native land.

In his youth, Nyei first dreamed of becoming a rock musician, then a writer. As a result, he ended up at the Guildford School of Art, after which the actor got a job at the Liverpool Theater, spending two seasons there.

Then the master of reincarnation moved to London. There Nyei continued his theatrical career and took part in several television projects. Among them are the films "Hitler's SS: Project of Evil", "Agatha Christie Detectives: 13 at the Table", the series "Boone" and "Script".

Bill went on to act in small roles in both movies and TV and even appeared on radio (for example, playing Sam in the radio show "The Lord of the Rings"). True, the theater was still Bill's main love.

The actor's most famous stage characters were Bernard Nightingale in Arcadia and consultant psychiatrist in Joe Penhall's play Blue / Orange (2000). It is known that for this role, Bill was awarded the Laurence Olivier Prize.

Nighy's debut on Broadway (at the Music Box Theater) was in 2006. Then Bill played in Sam Mendes's production of "Vertical Hour", and his partner was the charming Julianne Moore. Later, the actor, along with Carey Mulligan, participated in another Broadway play called "Skylight".

Movies


The actor was noticed after the bright role of professor-womanizer Mark Carleton in the mini-series "Gentleman's", which was released in 1991. Then the actor had more than ten years left before the general recognition. In 2002, director Richard Curtis invited Nighy to the romantic melodramatic comedy Love Actually.

In this film, Nighy tried on the image of the almost forgotten rock star Billy Mack, who wants to "jump on the last car" with his own reworked hit and become a global star at the end of the years.

In the film, which consists of a couple of storylines, the line of Billy Mack and his friend-manager turned out to be perhaps the most touching. The tape was released in 2003 and became a hit, and the role of Mack brought the artist a BAFTA award.

In parallel with Real Love, the mystical horror film Underworld about the war of vampires and werewolves (lycans), in which Kate Beckinsale also starred, was released. Nighy played in this film the progenitor of the bloodsuckers, Victor. The colorful character returned in Underworld 2: Evolution and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

In early 2004, the media reported that Bill Nighy was shortlisted for the role of the Ninth Doctor in the revival of the cult BBC series Doctor Who, but the producers eventually cast the role to the young Christopher Eccleston.

Appearing as Philip (the protagonist's stepfather) in Edgar Wright's black comedy A Zombie Called Sean, Nighy continued his collaboration with the director. He played in the second part of the "Cornetto" trilogy, the movie "Kinda Tough Pointers" and took part in the voice acting of the third part "Armageddian".

In 2006, the actor starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, in which Bill played the main villain, the former lover of the goddess Calypso (Naomi Harris) - Davy Jones.

It is worth noting: despite the fact that the actor's character spoke with an extremely difficult to understand Scottish accent, and his face was completely hidden behind the computer "make-up", the film critics liked Nighy's play.

In 2007, Bill received his second prestigious Golden Globe award (for his role as the title character, an aging PR man, in the 2005 television drama Gideon's Daughter). Then there were a couple of interesting projects - including the role of the fascist General Olbricht in "Operation Valkyrie", Quentin in "Rock Wave" and Victor in "Wild Thing."

In 2010, the seventh film (the first part of the film adaptation of the seventh book of the writer J.K. Rowling about Harry Potter), which tells about the life of a wizard's boy, was released on the big screens - "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1". In the film starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, Nighy reincarnated as Minister of Magic Rufus Scrimgeour.

It is worth noting that in his youth, as in his mature years, the actor often played antagonists. Therefore, the fans were extremely surprised to see their favorite in the form of a quiet, modest pensioner who moved to India and suffers from the tyranny of his wife. This happened in the films "The Marigold Hotel: Best Exotic" (2011) and The Marigold Hotel. Check-in continues ”(2015).

In 2016, the filmography of the charismatic artist was replenished with the films "Golem" and "Their Finest Hour".

Michael Fitzgerald, Frances Barber and Patricia Clarkson also starred in the film, which tells the story of the English dowager Florence Green, who, following an idealistic dream, opened a bookstore in her native province.

The mini-series Trial of Innocence is slated for the end of this year. The plot of the film is based on the novel of the same name by the writer Agatha Christie, while Eleanor Tomlinson, Ed Westwick and Matthew Goode became Naya's colleagues on the set.

In 2018, the filmography of the master of reincarnation will be replenished with the films Pain and Atonement, Four Children and It, as well as Lost Hopes, the filming of which is already in full swing. It is known that the director of Lost Hopes is screenwriter and director William Nicholson, who once worked on the films Gladiator, Les Miserables, The Golden Age and The Land of Shadows.

The director invited Oscar nominee, winner of two Golden Globes, Annette Bening, and Golden Globe laureate Bill Nighy to star in this family drama.

The plot of the picture focuses on a married couple, Grace and Edward, who have been married for 29 years. When their son Jamie comes to their seaside cabin for the weekend, the father will inform his son that he is going to divorce. The film tells the story of three relatives who have to go through all stages, from shock, mistrust, anger and ending with acceptance of the situation.
