Albert Finney
Albert (Albert Finney, May 9, 1936 ~ February 7, 2019), was born in Lancashire, England, and worked as an actor. The main works include " Bleak Moments " and so on.
Performing Experience
In 1955, Albert graduated from the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Soon after graduation, he began acting on the stage in Shakespeare’s plays, and was once fortunate to be a substitute for the great Lawrence Oliver, and replaced him as an arrogant Ancient Rome officer on the stage , which began to arouse the movie The attention of the world.
In 1960, he officially entered the film industry. Although his screen debut " Artist " (The Entertainer) was not successful, the other two films " Saturday Night and Sunday Morning " (Saturday Night And Sunday Morning) shot in the same year were very successful. . This film reflecting the lives of ordinary workers became the cornerstone of the British Realism movie and paved the way for a brilliant performance.
In 1963, he gave up acting in ""Instead of choosing " Tom Jones " directed by Tony Richardson , he won his first Oscar nomination-Best Actor. The failure to hit the Oscars for the first time allowed him to concentrate on the theater stage for four years, and he did not get involved in movies anymore.
In 1967, the charm of the superstar Audrey Hepburn brought him back to the film world again, and starred with her in " Two for the Road " (Two for the Road).
In 1969, he was " at The Picasso Summer played through the arts fanatics of the 20th century", the also 1970 "Scrooge" (Scrooge) who played over Charles John Huffam Dickens novel miser; both in 1973 " first second " (Alpha Beta) for playing through a violent husband, and "in 1974 oN Murder at the Orient Express " for playing the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot - the role earned him a second Oscar nominations (Best Actor). Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" has been remade many times, and the 1974 edition is undoubtedly the most classic one.
In 1983, he starred in " Dresser " (The Dresser) and " Under the Volcano " starred in 1984 respectively won him the third and fourth Oscar nominations-both for best actor.
Albert is one of the representative figures of the British New Wave in the 1960s. He became the representative of the screen image of the "angry young man" in early British films because of "The Prodigal Son" and so on. His representative works include "The Prodigal Son", "Tom Jones", "Dress Up", "Under the Volcano" and so on. In recent years, he starred in "Big Fish" "" Erin Brockovich, "" The Bourne Ultimatum, "the third forty-five, and" Skyfall "and other films, he has also starred in many television productions, such as" at The Gathering Storm "Played Churchill in ".
Personal Life
Divorce-twice.

Character Evaluation
Albert Best Supporting Actor
Nominated role: In " Erin Brockovich " (Erin Brockovich) as Ed Masry, a courageous female assistant Erin Brockovich persuaded to act as an agent for a family suffering from water pollution The lawyer who filed a legal action by the company.
This is the fifth time the 65-year-old has been nominated for an Oscar. He returned empty-handed the first 4 times. Will he come back again this time? I hope not. But even if it’s still empty and happy, Lao Dang, who has played countless different roles in his acting career for more than 40 years, would not mind playing another sparring role. Quandang has a rich enough career. Just add one more role!
Albert won the first prize
The failure to hit the Oscars for the first time allowed him to concentrate on the theater stage for four years, and he did not get involved in movies anymore. Until 1967, the charm of superstar Audrey Hepburn attracted him back to the film world again, and starred in " Two for the Road " with her . It was in this film that he scolded Hepburn as a "bitch." Even though this is just a line in the movie, in people's memory, apart from, no one has ever scolded Hepburn of Wonder4 for such vulgarity .
If there is any pattern in Albert's acting career, then it can be said that there is no pattern as his pattern. He played the role of a 20th-century art fanatic in The Picasso Summer in 1969, and the miser in a novel by Charles John Huffam Dickens in Scrooge in 1970 ; in 1973 " first second " (Alpha Beta) for playing through a violent husband, and "in 1974 oN Murder at the Orient Express " for playing the famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot - the role earned him a second Oscar nominations (Best Actor). "The Dresser" in 1983 and " Under the Volcano " in 1984 won him the third and fourth Oscar nominations (both for best actor). In 1984,He also played Pope Paul II on TV , which was also widely acclaimed.
If the above-mentioned various roles are not enough, then this year I will dedicate to us a version of Ernest Miller Hemingway -he will play a great role in "Ernest Miller Hemingway, the Hunter of Death" (Hemingway, the Hunter of Death) And the lonely great writer Ernest Miller Hemingway. Albert's resume may be abbreviated like this: age—sixty sixty; artistic age—more than forty; starred roles—numerous; Oscar nominations—five times; divorce—twice. For the old, it really doesn't matter whether Oscar is not Oscar, because he has said long ago: "The name can't give you much."
