More Information

Did You Know..

Ben Kingsley (Actor) .. Milton

Born: December 31, 1943 in Snainton, near Scarborough, North Yorkshire

Best Known For: Playing Gandhi.

Early-life: Born Krishna Pandit Bhanji on December 31, 1943, in Snainton, near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, the son of a Kenyan-born GP of Indian descent and a British model. His paternal family originally came from the Indian state of Gujarat, Mahatma Gandhi's birthplace. He became interested in acting at Manchester Grammar School, and joined amateur groups. When he announced his intention to become a professional actor, his father advised him to change his name to something more English-sounding and suggested Ben, which had been his own nickname at university.

Career: Kingsley joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1967 and soon began landing lead roles. He also appeared briefly in Coronation Street in the 1960s. He made his movie debut in 1972's Fear Is the Key and worked steadily if unspectacularly on both the big and small screens until 1982 when he won an Oscar for the title role in Richard Attenborough's Gandhi. Since then Kingsley has made such films as Maurice, Without a Clue, Sneakers, Schindler's List, the live-action Thunderbirds movie, Shutter Island and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. He's been Oscar-nominated for Bugsy, Sexy Beast and House of Sand and Fog. Other projects include Iron Man 3 and Hugo.

Quote: "Hopefully, as I get older in the business, I make my choices more accurately, and I perhaps know from either the script or the first meeting that it isn't going to work."

Trivia: Kingsley was knighted in 2002.
