Ralph Fiennes Advised Lupita Nyong'o Years Ago

[@Igor19485]

It's a shame that most people here remember him only for Voldemort. His role in Shindler's List was beyond perfect. One of the most amazing performances in movie history.

[@dayiie427]

Schindler*

[@burpie3258]

He should have won the Oscar for that role!

[@milounadine98]

+Igor19485 please tell me this is a joke please

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

I had the *P L E A S U R E* of meeting this man once. He's so lovely and normal. He's more normal than most non-famous people, LOL. It's delightful. He's polite, genuine and very kind.

[@pr-ji1ni]

He's played some of the scariest villains: Francis Dolarhyde, Amon Goeth and, yes, Voldemort, but here he just seems to be such a nice guy. What a great actor!

[@coyotew925]

True.

[@overlex]

You forgot Hades! And the main villain In Bruges (great movie)

[@kartikeysharma4926]

Harry Waters!

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

he also voiced Moses's brother in the "Prince of Egypt"

[@kels7286]

Amon Goeth was just terrifying. and charming, but very terrifying 😂

[@Ramosuiga]

I love how he's almost embarrassed that Lupita gives him credit for pursuing her career. There's nothing better than a humble star.

[@aquablushgirl]

His performance with Kristen Scott-Thomas in the English Patient was incredible. The chemistry.

[@07jeipi]

Why he don't have an Oscar ? He's GREAT!

[@valeriavelasco9619]

He has

[@nanomachinesson8290]

Only nominations, no wins.

[@hetaes]

His work in Schindler's List scared the shit out of the Academy.

[@thabihhlongwa4244]

and I came for his greatness here

[@hanscombe72]

Tommy Lee Jones won the Oscar for the fugitive the year he was nominated for Schindler’s list. So yeah. Makes sense.

[@fwzzybird]

Everyone calling him Voldemort needs to see The English Patient. He had a life prior to the Harry Potter films.

[@sarizonana]

Definitely it's sad that people sometimes only recognize him as Voldemort, he has done many great things and he is someone who disappears into any role he plays but hey maybe Voldemort wouldn't have been that iconic without Ralph Fiennes. Just a small note you should see the duchess, it's one of hid most underrated performances

[@MouseCrusader]

some people are too young to remember his roles before Voldemort

[@fwzzybird]

MouseCrusader That's true. And, if people like an actor, it doesn't take much effort to find out what other films he/she has been in and watch one or two. In the case of Ralph Fiennes, it's worth digging deeper.

[@MouseCrusader]

Candy Craig i agree

[@Ramosuiga]

People will always remember an actor for a particular role. I don't find it annoying that people mostly remember him as Voldemort because it was the best acting from all the Harry Potter films although personally I will always remember him as Amon Goeth.

[@quillber]

he's such a hottie

[@marcelar.2049]

I hate it when they only recognize him for Voldemort. He is an incredible actor, such powerful proformances. 😍

[@lom4117]

Marcela R. How dare you speak his name! YOU FILTHY HALF-BLOOD!!!

[@alonalkalai9505]

Yeah he was in the English Patent or something, as well as Spectre

[@Melllllzy]

I wept uncontrollably after The Constant Gardener. It was so sad and beautiful. I think it's a really underrated movie.

[@MadhusudanRaman]

Great book. John Le Carre, I think? Excellent book.

[@Ranlou]

Not so underrated. Rachel Weisz won an Oscar for that film

[@GhostofRhurValley]

Ralph Finennes and Daniel Day Lewis are the best actor ever , that's a fact.

[@gazellepop]

[@GoldieLoqs]

I wish people would stop calling him Voldemort. Watch some of his other films, they are awesome! He has so much depth as an actor and has been in so many things. If you've only seen him in Harry Potter, you're missing out, big time! :)

[@gabrielpeinado123]

Totally agree. Amazing actor.

[@byclarkellis]

Ralph Fiennes advised me once. He leaned in close and said, "you will lose.... everything."

I absolutely loved him in “In Bruges”

[@samkipper3349]

Ralph Fiennes is such a great and talented actor! I loved his performance in Schindler's List and The English Patient.... of course his role in Harry Potter was well played too. But also his other great jobs should get acknowledged!

[@Sumacy]

He is such a great actor. I first saw him in Harry Potter as Voldemort, but than I saw him in the Dutchess, James Bond Skyfall and today I saw him playing Gustavo in Grand Budapest Hotel. Such a great actor who can play different parts. I think he needs to get more credits for it.

[@GLamoRousCooKie]

I fell in love with him in The English Patient, he is still so hot.

[@LittleB2007]

Grand Budapest Hotel did have a stellar cast but Fiennes carried the whole movie all by himself. Without him the flick could have been nothing more than a mishmash of cartoon characters against colorful background. He should have been nominated to the Oscar that year

[@MFBloosh]

Fiennes looks like the guy with the guitar.

[@joshdahlgren3976]

Who knew that 11 months later 8 Oscar nominations and 4 oscars taken home I would still and always will be in love with The Grand Budapest Hotel.

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Why isn't he comfortable in his seat?

[@Echilibrescu]

Because, even if it sounds strange, he is uncomfortable in such shows. Because he is not an extrovert even if he is a brilliant actor. Notice the mixture of confidence (legs wide apart) and intimidation (constant blinking). He is an amazing personality all together.

[@MrIanGardner]

Echi Librescu Please teach me how to read people haha

[@GoldieLoqs]

Ralph has said himself that he gets very uncomfortable during interviews and when talking about himself. So it shows just a little. I like that he's humble.

[@redgringrumboldt8983]

I would do EVERYTHING to Ralph. Yes, definitely.

[@og9656]

Its an inside joke, that he does everytime he's on Fallon. Check out the previous interviews they've done.

[@minusv.singhs]

I wish I was married to Ralph

[@manfromearth7854]

He's mine! 😤

[@koolbambino8186]

Girl, you would not not want to marry him. He has a reputation for cheating on his wife/partners 😅 he said in an interview that he doesn’t believe one person is just for one person, because love is greater than that.

[@ellie-tk4jy]

He's not husband material. He's side piece material.

[@melissaort6497]

I think Ralph Fiennes is one of the most underrated actors because come on have you seen him in Schindler’s list or Red dragon? Well in the grand Budapest hotel he’s perfect, he’s wonderful and…… attractive .😏

[@sahilwajid5532]

One of his best performances, perhaps second only to that in Schindler's List, came in Quiz Show- as Charles Can Doren. Pure brilliance.
