Born on January 6th 1982, Eddie Redmayne is an English actor who is best known for his award-winning roles in The Theory of Everything, The Danish Girl and the theatre production of Cabaret. Redmayne made his debut as an actor in 1998 with a small role on Animal Ark, but it wasn’t until the 2000s that he started getting regular work. That was thanks to his role in the play Twelfth Night in 2002 and The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? In 2004, he started getting regular work. From there, the Englishman’s career kicked off as he earned roles in Doctors, Elizabeth I, and a recurring role in Tess of the d’Urbervilles on television.


Redmayne made his feature film debut in 2006 with a role in Like Minds and The Good Shepherd in the same year. Following that, the actor has appeared in at least one feature film every year, with a few exceptions here and there. He also kept acting on stage, with roles in half a dozen plays, until his breakthrough role in the feature film My Week with Marilyn in 2011 and Les Miserables in 2012. It cemented the English actor as a budding star, and his role in the 2014 film Theory of Everything established that as he won his first Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actor. He was nominated once again for both awards a year later for his role in The Danish Girl.


Redmayne then starred in the Fantastic Beasts film series in the Harry Potter universe, The Trial of the Chicago 7, The Good Nurse, and several other films. He also continued starring in several theatre productions, including Cabaret, for which he was nominated for several awards. This includes a Laurence Olivier award as well as two Tonys, with Redmayne winning the former.
