Geoffrey Rush – Born in 1951
Australian actor Geoffrey Roy Rush has earned the distinction of being one of just 25 artists to have won the Triple Crown of Acting – an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy. Well, add to that a SAG, BAFTA and Golden Globe Award. After learning mine and pantomime in Paris, Rush debuted with a Queensland Theatre Company production and trained on stage until 1981, when he made his movie debut with Hoodwink. For his performance in the movie Shine, he became the first Australian actor to ever win an Oscar! In the recent times, you must have seen him in The King’s Speech and The Pirates of the Caribbean movie series.
