Continuing BAFTA's run of Q&As with well-respected thespians, on Sunday 11th December the academy's London headquarters invited Ralph Fiennes to reflect on A Life in Pictures.
Open to BAFTA members and the public, a champagne reception precedes an hour and a half in the company of the great actor. Bounding on stage to enthusiastic applause, Fiennes gallantly kisses the hand of host Francine Stock, before being taken through his career in film.
The actor remembers being informed in his childhood spent peforming Shakespeare: "you have an ability". Attending art school as a teenager, Fiennes reveals it shook him up, opened his mind and shifted his perspective. Working on set designs, he soon released he wanted to be on the stage. He joined an amateur theatre group in Fulham, where playing the lead in Romeo and Juliet gave him the confidence to try out for RADA. When asked if he ever considered a career in film, he replied that the attitude always was "if you were lucky, the gods would ascend you to film".
After a season at Stratford, Fiennes landed his first on screen role in 1990, starring as T.E. Lawrence in television film A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia. Soon afterwards, he landed his debut film, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, starring as Heathcliff opposte Julette Binoche's Cathy. Fiennes laughs as he recalls his only worry - the hair extensions he had to sport after his army buzz cut for Arabia.
Then came the film that would shoot him to stardom and award glory, that of Amon Göth in Schindler's List. After the audience endure one of his most chilling scenes, involving Amon's maid, Fiennes lightens the mood by recalling how he auditioned for director Steven Spielberg. Unbelievably, he met with Spielberg in Acton for an informal chat, with the actor recalling how keen the directing legend was to engage with him. Fiennes reflects on the role of Amon, saying how he couldn't simply see the Nazi officer as a monster. Watching accounts of Holocaust survivors who suffered at the hands of Amon, he conceded that while he was a terrible man, it didn't help if you have to get inside his head. Spielberg himself didn't want Fiennes to portray evil - he wanted the actor to show how Amon's work felt like a "pain in the arse". He then tells how Spielberg is a "thrilling, inventive and spontaneous" director.
Fiennes smiles as he recalls asking Spielberg for permission to audition for Robert Redford's Quiz Show, while he was still filming Schindler's List, but got annoyed as Fiennes lost his Amon weight to prepare for the role of Charles Van Doren.
When talking about his subsequent roles in The English Patient and The End of the Affair, Stock asks if he is attracted to caged, difficult characters. He says he finds them interesting, pointing out the "flinty, recessive" Count in Anthony Minghella's Patient. He also enjoys how people wrestle with Graham Greene, author of Affair, and his interest in God.

Emily talks Coriolanus and James Bond with Ralph Fiennes - in association with BAFTA
15th December, 2011
Last week, BAFTA celebrated the work of renowned actor Ralph Fiennes with a 'Life in Pictures' event - but our Young Ambassador Emily had the chance to talk to him one-to-one, in association with BAFTA. In this fascinating interview, Fiennes talks about the lengths he and writer John Logan went to in order to make Shakespeare's tragedy Coriolanus clear for modern audiences: "cutting aggressively" and getting actors to deliver the lines in a "naturalistic way". He also discusses how he was approached to star in the new James Bond film Skyfall, and and which of his own films he would recommend to FILMCLUB members. Take a look here...

BAFTA: A Life In Pictures - Ralph Fiennes
added: 3 Jan 2012 // release date: 11 Dec 2011
certificate: // director:
studio: Bafta Piccadilly // film length 90 min.
reviewer: Claudia A
The prestigious Bafta invited to an evening with one of the most sought-after and respected thespians in the business, Ralph Fiennes.
Hosted by radio- and TV presenter Francine Stock, the actor talked about his early life and his influences as well as his later career in front of a live audience. Selected clips from his various movies highlighted his most acclaimed roles.
Charming yet intense (as you would expect it), Fiennes began with his childhood. He revealed that as a little boy, he didn’t have any aspirations whatsoever to become an actor, although later on his Mum did introduce him to the works of Shakespeare. Eventually he acted a bit while in school but was not actively encouraged. However, later on he enrolled on a drama course but somehow that shifted things for him: instead of continuing with drama he then went on to study stage design. Once again this caused another shift, because finally he realised he wanted to be on stage as opposed to design for stage!
His first part was in an amateur production of ‘Cabaret’ and he also was with an amateur theatre group in Fulham, performing the lead in ‘Romeo and Juliet’. This gave him the confidence to opt for RADA, as it was an ambition of his to perform Shakespeare in Stratford (which he did three decades later).
After the Stratford season, he scored his first TV-part, playing T.E. Lawrence in ‘A Dangerous Man: Lawrence Of Arabia’. This was followed by his first movie role, as Heathcliff in ‘Wuthering Heights’. Fiennes laughingly told that the part as such didn’t cause him any worry, but the hair extension he needed for the role of Heathcliff did!
Good fortune followed, for none other then the almighty Steven Spielberg saw him in ‘Wuthering Heights’ and wanted to meet him (in Acton, of all places!) to chat about his next project ‘Schindler’s List’. Fiennes was offered the part of Nazi officer Amon Göth, a role that catapulted him to mega-stardom and award-nominations. Recalls Fiennes: “I went to the Imperial War Museum to find out more about the Holocaust and of course Amon Göth. I realised that simply seeing him as the monster he was wouldn’t help trying to get inside his head and play Göth realistically.”
After a particularly chilling clip from ‘Schindler’s List’ was shown, Francine Stock proceeded to talk about Fiennes next roles in ‘The English Patient’ and ‘The End Of The Affair’, asking the actor whether he feels attracted to difficult parts. Fiennes replied that as an actor, challenging roles are of course attractive and also mentioned that his role in David Cronenberg’s ‘Spider’ was particularly challenging, because “we don’t know who the main character is, his perception of reality is completely diffracted.” Clips from the three movies are also shown.
After the realistic drama ‘The Constant Gardener’, Stock discussed Fiennes’ role of Voldemort in the ‘Harry Potter’ movies. The audience burst into laughter when Fiennes performed his ‘killing curse’ routine on Stock, but almost immediately went back into serious mode when he mentioned the sad passing of Mary Selway, the casting director of the Potter movies. Most surprisingly, Fiennes confessed that he was utterly unaware of ‘Harry Potter’ when he was approached for the part of Voldemort. “I was completely ignorant of Potter! Not read the books, not heard the name! My sister Martha and Mary Selway pushed me into it!”
However, there’s also a light-hearted and comical side to Ralph Fiennes, as demonstrated in the thriller comedy ‘In Bruges’, in which he plays grumpy gangster boss Harry Waters. The clip shown was side-splittingly funny.
Last clip of the evening was of ‘Coriolanus’ – a re-working of the Shakespearean drama and also Fiennes’ directorial debut (he had planned to direct it for several years). Not only directing it but also playing the title role proved of course another huge challenge plus lots of pressure, something that Fiennes is used to by now. ”As an actor, I can’t pick up on one particular challenge. All my parts always are challenging!”
Finally, he seemed proud and delighted to announce that next he’s going to play Magwitch in Mike Newell’s upcoming version of ‘Great Expectations’, especially the graveyard scene excites him. “Playing Magwitch is an iconic role I couldn’t resist”, remarked Fiennes, before attending to some Q&A from the audience.
