Best Known For:
Playing albino monk Silas in The Da Vinci Code.
Early-life:
Paul Bettany was born on May 27, 1971, in Harlesden, London, to a theatrical family. His mother, Anne, retired from the business but his father, Thane, still treads the boards. His older sister, Sarah, is a writer. As a teenager, he moved out to live on his own in London, where he busked and worked in a home for the elderly to make ends meet. At the age of 19 he decided to train as an actor. After finishing his tenure at Chalk Farm Drama Centre, he landed a role in Stephen Daldry's West End production of An Inspector Calls.
Career:
Bettany worked steadily in theatre, but it took a back seat when the TV work poured in. Roles in Sharpe and miniseries David Copperfield helped boost his profile, but it was the leading role in indie flick Gangster No 1 which really set him on the road to stardom. The success of his next venture, medieval romp A Knight's Tale, led to Paul making his first collaboration with Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. Since then, he has featured in Dogma, reunited with Crowe for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, took the lead in romcom Wimbledon and explored his darker side in The Da Vinci Code. His recent work includes The Secret Life of Bees, The Young Victoria, Legion, and The Tourist.
Quote:
"I love the way British people see ourselves. We say, 'He's like us, a bit of a loser'."
Trivia:
He voices JARVIS in the Iron Man films.
