Peter O'Toole

O'Toole started his training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London and began working in the theatre, gaining recognition as a Shakespearean actor at the Bristol Old Vic and with the English Stage Company. In 1959, he made his West End debut in ''The Long and the Short and the Tall'', and played the title role in ''Hamlet'' in the National Theatre's first production in 1963. Excelling on stage, O'Toole was known for his "hellraiser" lifestyle off it. He received a nomination for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy Performance for his portrayal of Jeffrey Bernard in the play ''Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell'' (1990).
Making his film debut in 1959, O'Toole received his first Academy Award for Best Actor nomination for portraying T. E. Lawrence in the historical epic ''Lawrence of Arabia'' (1962). He was further Oscar-nominated for playing King Henry II in both ''Becket'' (1964) and ''The Lion in Winter'' (1968), a public school teacher in ''Goodbye, Mr. Chips'' (1969), a paranoid schizophrenic in ''The Ruling Class'' (1972), a war veteran turned stunt man in ''The Stunt Man'' (1980), a film actor in ''My Favorite Year'' (1982), and an elderly man in ''Venus'' (2006). He holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for acting without a win (tied with Glenn Close). In 2002, he was awarded the Academy Honorary Award for his career achievements.
O'Toole also starred in films such as ''What's New Pussycat?'' (1965), ''How to Steal a Million'' (1966), ''Man of La Mancha'' (1972), ''Caligula'' (1979), ''Zulu Dawn'' (1979), and ''Supergirl'' (1984), with supporting roles in ''The Last Emperor'' (1987), ''Bright Young Things'' (2003), ''Troy'' (2004), ''Stardust'' (2007), and ''Dean Spanley'' (2008). He voiced Anton Ego, the restaurant critic in Pixar's animated film ''Ratatouille'' (2007). On television, he received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his portrayal of Bishop Pierre Cauchon in the CBS miniseries ''Joan of Arc'' (1999). He was Emmy-nominated for his performances as Lucius Flavius Silva in the ABC miniseries ''Masada'' (1981), and Paul von Hindenburg in the miniseries ''Hitler: The Rise of Evil'' (2003).
