Early Experience
This top student who graduated from Yale University is actually from a famous background. His father is the youngest supervisor in the history of Yale University. His mother and brother are both actors. Although Giamatti was exposed to acting very early and often participated in performances during Yale University, he insisted on getting a master’s degree in fine arts before entering the performing arts circle, and gained performance on the Broadway stage. Further accumulation.
Although he has a bright mind and a master’s degree, he has the same experience as many actors who made his debut on the big screen. Paul Giamatti, who has just started his film acting career, has only played a few heroic roles with almost no lines, and he is not well-known in Hollywood. .
Performing Experience
It wasn't until 1997 that Giamatti began to prove his acting talent to the world by virtue of his excellent portrayal of a small role in the romantic comedy " My Best Friend's Wedding ". In this film, two movie stars Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz , who were very attractive at the box office at the time , joined forces and achieved good box office results. Among them, Giamatti plays a bellman in the hotel. In a rivalry with the heroine Julia Roberts, Giamatti integrates his most real experience of life into the character of the character. In just two or three minutes of playing time, such a small character has been shaped with a rich personality level, so that a kind, life-stressed small character is very accurate and impressive.
Perhaps it is because Paul Giamatti's ordinary appearance does not possess the "niche" qualifications that Hollywood prefers. Therefore, in the following years, he still rarely gets the opportunity to star, usually just as a green leaf in the film. In a series of movies that we are familiar with, Giamatti has been seen in the middle, such as the director of the TV station in " The Truman Show ", the active slave chimpanzee in " Planet of the Apes ", and Ben Affleck in " Paycheck " Friends and partners, and so on. It can be said that these are some obscure and even funny little characters, it is difficult to get the attention of the audience, but even so, Giamatti never thought of giving up. Relying on his unique and profound understanding of the role, he mobilized various performance methods such as movements, expressions, intonations and eyes, to perform every character that may flash by. It is this diligent effort focused on tempering acting skills that has made Paul Giamatti gradually enter the attention of film critics and fans.
In 2004, Paul Giamatti finally ushered in an excellent opportunity to show off his acting skills, playing the leading role in the film " Sideways " by the famous director Alexander Payne . This is a very lifelike film, the atmosphere is calm and light. Paul Giamatti, with restrained but powerful acting skills, brilliantly interpreted the role of Myers, a failed novelist who was hit by both career and divorce. In the film, Giamatti’s attention-to-detail performance made Miles’s eyes and wretched look when he was drinking, appear so ordinary and real, fully showing the protagonist’s rich and subtle emotional world, and will be a crisis The image of the middle-aged man is truly presented in front of the audience. "With one look, he can convey everything," Thomas Hayden Cech, the actor of Miles's old friend Jack in the film, commented on Giamatti. After the movie was released, Paul Giamatti, the always low-key actor, immediately became the focus of attention because of his excellent performance. The main reason for the uproar that this year's Oscar nomination for best actor has caused is that Paul Giamatti was not nominated. As a result, Giamatti was rated as the "most frustrated actor" by major mainstream media in the United States, showing his superb acting skills and fierce public outrage!
After the end of this film that not only brought him opportunities but also brought him many regrets, he joined the film " Cinderella Man " directed by Ronald William Howard and starring Russell Crowe , playing the protagonist of Burksa. Coach-a quick-mouthed Mr. Shaobao. Although there are not many roles in this role, Giamatti’s superb acting skills are impeccable and perfect every time he plays. Some critics even believe that Paul Giamatti’s performance in "Cinderella Man" is better than the male number one. Crow is much more wonderful. With his natural acting skills, Giamatti won the title of Best Supporting Actor by the Boston Film Critics Association and was nominated for an Oscar for the first time. Regrettably, if you don't want to stop at the nomination, it seems that Giamatti can only wait until the next year to "be shameless".
Paul Giamatti once joked to reporters: "We have to face the fact: I am not a best seller, I am bound by my appearance-I can't get the role of Colin Farrell ." Indeed, looking at Giamatti more than a dozen In his career as an actor, whether he is a protagonist or a supporting role, he played almost ordinary little people. The performances he devoted himself to the audience were mostly small waves flowing slowly in the life of little people. However, what touches people in movies is often the reality of life that we have to face, avoid all exaggerations, and don't need a trace of pretense. Ordinary people have their own ordinary beauty. This is Paul Giamatti who is shown in front of us-a man who has moved forward step by step on his own path of acting, and even under his calm appearance, we can strongly feel what he exudes. Unique performance charm and light. But all this has changed after " Sideways ".
On July 30, 2021, the participating Disney movie " Jungle Cruise " was released in North America and simultaneously launched on the streaming media Disney+.
