Biography
Adrien Brody is an American actor born April 14, 1973, whose career spans independent cinema and major studio franchises. He broke through in the early 1990s with King of the Hill (1993), The Thin Red Line (1998), and Summer of Sam (1999) before his landmark 2002 role as Polish pianist Władysław Szpilman in Roman Polanski's The Pianist earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor—at 29, the youngest winner ever in that category. Two decades later, Brody returned to Oscar glory portraying Hungarian architect László Tóth in Brady Corbet's The Brutalist (2024), also winning the BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Critics' Choice Movie Award. Between those peaks, he anchored The Village (2004), King Kong (2005), Splice (2009), and Midnight in Paris (2011), while becoming a fixture in filmmaker Wes Anderson's ensemble casts: The Darjeeling Limited (2007), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), The French Dispatch (2021), and Asteroid City (2023). On television, Brody earned Primetime Emmy nominations for his roles as magician Harry Houdini in the History Channel's Houdini (2014) and investor Josh Aaronson in HBO's Succession (2021); he also played Luca Changretta in Peaky Blinders season 4 (2017) and Pat Riley in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (2022–2023). Born under Aries, Brody embodies the sign's drive for pioneering roles and artistic autonomy. As an actor, he balances visceral dramatic work with experimental and genre projects, spanning war epics to horror and animation. In 2025, Time magazine listed him among the world's 100 most influential people. He is also a visual artist.
