Kenneth Branagh-ndcowpoke

From a modest Irish family, Kenneth Branagh decided, according to legend, to pursue an acting career when he discovered, when he was only a teenager, Derek Jacobi playing Hamlet on television. Soon after, he enrolled in a drama course at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in Great Britain, joining the Royal Shakespeare Company ( RSC ) at age 23, where he triumphed thanks to the role of Henri V. After a few Unsuccessful attempts in television films, Kenneth Branagh obtains in 1985 the first role of the drama in costumes Coming through, in which he plays DH Lawrence.

In 1987, the actor separated from the RSC, judging the priorities of the establishment more bureaucratic than artistic, and undertakes to found his own company, named Renaissance . If the first play given in representation in the Renaissance Theater is a failure, the following productions achieve some success and allow Kenneth Branagh to adapt, direct and interpret in the cinema in 1989 Henry V alongside the actress Emma Thompson, whom he married the same year. The film was a great critical and public success, definitively launching the cinematographic career of the actor and the scenario writer.

In the early 90s, Kenneth Branagh alternated theatrical performances and cinematographic productions. There he met success with the film noir Dead Again (1991), the bitter comedy Peter's Friends (1992) and Much Ado About Nothing (1993), a new adaptation by his favorite author William Shakespeare, but then experienced his first failure with Frankenstein. (1994), which nevertheless gave him the opportunity to direct Robert De Niro.

After playing the traitor Iago in Othello (1995, the year of his divorce from Emma Thompson), Kenneth Branagh fulfills his dream of adapting Hamlet to the big screen in a four-hour long epic fresco, cited in several categories including Oscars and winning many awards. After this exhausting adventure, the singer-songwriter is more willing to let himself be led, whether by Robert Altman in The Gingerbread Man (1998) or Woody Allen for Celebrity, even abandoning his classic image to interpret the extravagant and demonic Dr Loveless in Wild Wild West in 1999.

After modernizing Shakespeare's Lost Love Sorrows in a film paying homage to 1930s musicals, Kenneth Branagh lends his voice to the facetious character of Miguel in The Road to Eldorado. In 2002, the actor agreed to play the role of the Dark Arts professor Gilderoy Lockhart for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second installment in the adventures of the sorcerer's apprentice. He continues this eccentric English role in another adaptation of a children's bestseller, Five Children and Me (2004).

After having chained a few minor films, he returned to directing in 2005 by adapting another great classic: Mozart's Magic Flute, which he transposed in the context of the First World War. Produced by the Peter Moore Foundation, this work aims to broaden the usual audience for opera. It was followed three years later by Le Limier, a remake of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's thriller in which Kenneth Branagh orchestrates a merciless psychological duel between Jude Law and Michael Caine.

In 2009, the filmmaker returned to the camera again and played the resistant German officers alongside Tom Cruise in the historical drama Valkyrie, before donning the costume of troubled minister Dormandy, struggling with Good's radio pirate. Morning England. Two years pass before his great return to directing in an unexpected register: with Thor, a super-heroic blockbuster adapted from Marvel comics , he signs a fantastic feature film but with a very Shakespearean intrigue.

Kenneth Branagh won a second Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in 2012 for his performance in My Week with Marilyn, the biopic worn by Michelle Williams. He plays the actor and director Laurence Olivier, immersed in the filming of the film The Prince and the Dancer. That same year, in the summer, it is not in the cinema but on television that he reappears. At the request of Danny Boyle in charge of the staging, the Northern Irishman plays Isambard Kingdom Brunel, pioneer of the British railway, during the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in London, and recites an excerpt from the storm by William Shakespeare.

It was not until 2014 for his return to the cinema: after Thor, he signed The Ryan Initiative, bringing back to date the hero of Tom Clancy's novels. For the first time since 2007 and Le Limier, Branagh is divided between directing and acting alongside Chris Pine, Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner. The public and critical failure of the feature film did not prevent it from continuing with the making of the blockbuster Cinderella, a live adaptation of the Disney classic. 

After repeating his role as a police inspector in the 4th season of the Investigations of Inspector Wallander series, Kenneth Branagh continues to star in front of Christopher Nolan's camera in one of the flagship films of the year 2017, Dunkirk. He created the event again a few months later with the on-screen transposition of Crime on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. Not content with directing, he took on the role of Hercule Poirot and surrounded himself with a 4-star cast, made up of Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench and Daisy Ridley.
