Daily BirthdaysGuy Pearce
Regarded as one of the most complex actors of his generation, Guy Pearce made his mark a decade ago playing a pretty young drag queen in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. The film was a box office and critical hit, becoming one of the ten most successful Australian films of all time and receiving an Oscar, two Golden Globe nominations, two BAFTA's and numerous AFI nominations. Guy's diverse array of roles since that time include Ed Exley in the slick crime drama LA Confidential, amnesiac Leonard Shelby in the intelligent thriller Memento, and hardened criminal Dale Twentyman in the recent Australian heist movie The Hard Word, in which he starred opposite Rachel Griffiths.
Guy's other recent credits include Two Brothers, from acclaimed French director Jean-Jacques Annaud (Seven Years in Tibet), the HG Wells adaptation The Time Machine, directed by the author's great grandson Simon Wells, and the big budget adaptation of the Dumas novel, The Count of Monte Cristo.
