Ralph Fiennes won everyone’s heart by becoming a villain and not a hero, the story which is a lesson for every actor.

News India Live, Digital Desk: It is easy to become a hero in the world of cinema, you sing four songs, fight and become a star. But becoming a ‘villain’, and that too in such a way that the viewer cannot sleep at night due to fear – is not within everyone’s reach. Today we are talking about the 62-year-old actor, who played the role of Nazi officer ‘Amon Goth’ in ‘Schindler’s List’ in such a way that even today remembering it sends a shiver down the spine. Yes, we are talking about Ralph Fiennes. Nowadays, there is talk in the corridors of Hollywood that Ralph is being considered as the “Most Trusted Star” of the industry. Why is this so? Come, let’s gossip a little. It was 1993, when even Steven Spielberg was surprised. When Ralph played a brutal Nazi commander in the film Schindler’s List, he didn’t just act, he lived that brutality on screen. That cold and carefree laugh of his, seeing which it seemed that inside this man was not a heart but a stone. It is said that during the shooting, even the real survivors present on the set used to get scared after seeing him. This quality makes Ralph different from the rest. No matter how difficult the role is, the director knows—“If Ralph is there, the job will be done.” That is why today he is being called the most ‘reliable’ actor of the industry. Not just a villain, he is an addict of acting. Many of us (especially the kids of 90s) know him by the name of ‘Lord Voldemort’ of the Harry Potter series. Imagine, behind that terrible face without a nose was the same man who had made people cry in romantic films like The English Patient and also made people laugh in The Grand Budapest Hotel. This range, this change is what makes him special. Even at the age of 62, he has that enthusiasm which is rarely seen in today’s new stars. His career teaches that you should not run after stardom, just become so proficient in your craft that the world itself salutes you. Hollywood’s ‘Unsung’ Legend: Often, actors like Ralph Fiennes do not get the same hue and cry that Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt does, but their stature is very high in terms of respect. Directors know that if Ralph is in the film, the quality of the film will automatically increase. So the next time you watch ‘Harry Potter’ or any serious drama, remember that you are watching the man who has held Hollywood for 30 years with his ‘relatable’ acting. Do you also remember his character from ‘Schindler’s List’?
