Ralph Fiennes
born: 22-12-1962
birth place: Suffolk, England

Next up was providing the voice of Victor Quartermaine, Lady Tottington’s snobby suitor, in Steve Box and Nick Park’s cracking animation adventure ‘Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ (2005). In ‘Land of the Blind’ (2006), a brilliant dark comic thriller, Fiennes plays the lead, Joe, an idealistic soldier who befriends Donald Sutherland’s character, a political prisoner named Thorne. He went on to receive a Tony Award nomination for his recent role in the play ‘Faith Healer’ (2006), which premiered in Dublin before going on to Broadway, New York City.

In a career now in its third decade, Fiennes has proved himself an accomplished and respected actor, both in theatre and in film. He has received many awards and nominations for work as diverse as Shakespeare, animation, thrillers, comedies and even some camp nostalgia. Aside from his acting, he is passionate about helping others and became involved with UNICEF in 1999 and was appointed a UK Ambassador in 2001. He has visited UNICEF projects in Romania and Uganda and in October 2003, went to Kyrgystan to learn more about the work with vulnerable children. His filmmaker sister, Sophie Fiennes, accompanied him and filmed his visit, for the purposes of education and fund-raising. With time on his side and experience under his belt, we are certain to see much more of this fine actor’s work in the years to come.
