Ray Winstone

biography:
Raymond Andrew Winstone (born February 19, 1957) is an English television, stage, film, and voice-over actor with a career spanning five decades.

His film résumé includes Fool's Gold, Cold Mountain, King Arthur, The Proposition, The Departed, Beowulf, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Edge of Darkness. He is known for starring in very profane and violent films such as Nil By Mouth, Sexy Beast and 44 Inch Chest. He has also branched out into film production.

Fairly Secret Army

overview:
Fairly Secret Army is a British sitcom which ran to thirteen episodes over two series between 1984 and 1986. Though not a direct spin-off from The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, the lead character, Major Harry Truscott, was very similar to Geoffrey Palmer's character of Jimmy in that series, and the scripts were written by Reginald Perrin's creator and writer David Nobbs.

Harry Kitchener Wellington Truscott is an inept and slightly barmy ex-army man intent on training a group of highly unlikely people into a secret paramilitary organisation. This idea first emerged in an episode of Perrin when Jimmy confided the plan to Reggie and was based on persistent though unsubstantiated rumours in the 1970s press that right wing generals were secretly planning a coup to rescue Britain from union militancy. The character's name was changed due to Fairly Secret Army being broadcast on Channel 4, and the television rights to The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin and its characters being held by the BBC.

The first series was script edited by John Cleese, whose training films company was responsible for the series. The series did not have a laughter track. Nobbs only started work on the show when he turned down an offer to write a spin-off sitcom for Manuel of Fawlty Towers.

character: Stubby

biography:
Raymond „Ray“ Andrew Winstone (* 19. Februar 1957 in Hackney, London) ist ein britischer Schauspieler.  Winstone schaffte es 1977 durch seine Beharrlichkeit, an einem Casting der BBC für eine Produktion des Theaterstücks Scum von Roy Minton teilzunehmen und wurde für eine der Hauptrollen ausgewählt. Auf Grund der Brisanz des Themas und der gezeigten Gewalt erhielt dieses Fernsehspiel allerdings keine Sendefreigabe in der BBC und wurde erst 1991 zum ersten Mal im Fernsehen gezeigt. In der Zwischenzeit wurde 1979 auf Grundlage des Stücks ein Film gedreht, in dem Winstone ebenfalls einen Neuzugang in einer Jugendstrafanstalt für straffällig gewordene Jugendliche spielte.

Winstones Rolle in Abschaum – Scum scheint wegweisend für seine späteren Besetzungen gewesen zu sein, in denen er oft als harter, abgeklärter und gewalttätiger Mann zu sehen ist. Er spielte unter anderem in Quadrophenia, in That Summer (wofür er als vielversprechendster Newcomer für einen Award der British Academy of Film and Television Arts nominiert wurde), in Ladybird, Ladybird, in Nil by Mouth (wofür er die zweite Nominierung, dieses Mal als bester Schauspieler, erhielt) sowie in Face, in Sexy Beast und in Ripley’s Game. In 2003 spielte er im zweiteiligen Fernsehdrama Henry VIII den namensgebenden Tudorkönig.

Winstone wurde jedoch auch für eher untypische Rollen gecastet, in denen er seine gefühlvolleren Seiten ausleben konnte. So spielte er eine komische Rolle in Martha trifft Frank, Daniel & Laurence und war der romantische Hauptdarsteller in Fanny & Elvis.

2006 war er als blutrünstiger Mr. French in Martin Scorseses Gangsterepos Departed – Unter Feinden die gefürchtete rechte Hand des nicht minder brutalen Bosses Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson). 2007 übernahm er die Titelrolle in Robert Zemeckis’ animierten Heldenepos Beowulf und spielte an der Seite von Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich und Robin Wright Penn.

Zahlreich sind seine Fernsehserienauftritte, wie zum Beispiel in Robin Hood (1984–1986) als heißblütiger Draufgänger Will Scarlet.  Quelle: Wikipedia

biography:
Raymond Andrew Winstone 1957. február 19-én született Londonban. Az Edmonton County Schoolban és a Corona Theatre Schoolban végezte középfokú tanulmányait, majd a Corona Stage Academy drámatagozatán szerzett színészi képesítést. Albert Finney hatására döntött a színészmesterség mellett – édesapja minden szerda délután moziba vitte fiát. Fiatalkorában bokszolt is. Első filmszerepét a ban kapta, majd mellékszerepek sora következett: Sunshine in Brixton (1976), That Summer! (1979), Scum - Söpredék (1979, A színpadon a Stains! (1982). Pályáján nagyot lendített Will Scarlett szerepének elnyerése a Robin of Sherwood (1984) tévésorozatban. Ezt követően játszott Ken Loach filmdrámájában, a Katicabogár, katicabogárben (1994), majd főszerepet osztottak rá a Éhkoppon (1997) című angol-francia filmdrámában. Alakításáért BAFTA-díjra jelölték.

Ugyancsak a főszerepben tündökölt a Végső vágás (1998) thrillerben, melyben Jude Law volt partnere, majd a Births, Marriages and Deaths (1998) vígjátéksorozat főhősét formálta meg epizódról epizódra. A Tim Roth rendezésében készült Hadszíntér (1999) filmdrámában az apát alakította – játékáért az Európai Filmdíj a legjobb férfi alakítás kategória esélyesei közé választotta.

Anjelica Hustonnal dolgozott együtt az Agnes Browne (1999) kapcsán; a filmet a színésznő rendezte, s a főszerepet is ő játszotta el. Szerepelt a VIII. Henrik (2003) tévéfilmben, de az Artúr király (2004) történelmi kalandfilmben is feltűnt. Stanley kapitány szerepét nyerte el a Guy Pearce főszereplésével készült Az ajánlat (2005) című akciófilmben – a San Diego-i Filmkritikusok legjobb színészi alakításért járó elismerését nyerte el.

A címszerepben volt látható a Sweeney Todd (2006) horrorban és a Beowulf - Legendák lovagja (2007) akciófilmben. Ez utóbbiban Anthony Hopkins és John Malkovich mellett Angelina Jolie szerepelt az oldalán. George McHale-t formálta meg az Indiana Jones és a kristálykoponya királysága (2008) kalandfilmben, majd Mel Gibson főszereplőtársa volt A sötétség határán (2010) című akciófilmben.

Az utóbbi években láthattuk őt A leleményes Hugoban (2011), a Hófehér és a vadászban (2012), a Lords of Londonban (2014) és a Noéban (2014). Készülő filmjei a Gunman (2015) és a Holtpont (2015).

Feleségével, Elaine-nel három lányuk született.

biography: Raymond Andrew Winstone to typowy twardy cockney. Takim jest i w takich rolach znakomicie wypada, a to co kształtowało jego charakter, również ten kinowy, to nic innego jak życie. Ray urodził się 19. lutego 1957 roku w Londynie. Jego rodzice byli właścicielami małego sklepu warzywnego. W roku 1964 rozpoczął swoją edukację w szkole w Edmonton County. Jako 12-latek zaczął uczęszczać na treningi w sławnym Repton Amateur Boxing Club. W swojej karierze bokserskiej trzykrotnie zdobył tytuł mistrza Londynu na turnieju organizowanym dla uczniów londyńskich szkół. Dwukrotnie reprezentował Anglię w turniejach międzynarodowych. W ciągu 10-letniej kariery zawodniczej zdobył 80 różnych medali i trofeów. Swoją karierę aktorską Ray rozpoczął w 1975 roku od burzliwych studiów w Corona School. Po kilku nieudanych próbach usunięcia Raymonda (jak sam wspomina jego akcent mógł stanowić poważne zagrożenie dla pozostałych adeptów sztuk teatralnych), wreszcie po roku wykreślono go z listy studentów. Powodem jego wydalenia było uszkodzenie auta dyrektor szkoły. Swoją pierwszą rolę filmową otrzymał od reżysera Alana Clarke'a w filmie "Scum". Zdjęcia do tej produkcji nakręcono w marcu i kwietniu 1977 roku. Otrzymanie tej roli to był czysty przypadek bowiem po rocznym zgłębianiu sztuki gry na scenie i po kończącej ten okres przygodzie na parkingu, Ray podjął decyzję porzucenia aktorstwa. Po raz ostatni pojawił się w Corona School aby razem z chłopakami ze szkoły zrobić pożegnalną popijawę. Praktycznie z nudów i dzięki uprzejmości portierki wziął udział w odbywającym się właśnie castingu do filmu "Scum". I dostał główną rolę! Z uwagi na brutalność i bezkompromisowość tematu filmu (wstrząsająca historia angielskiego poprawczaka) BBC zdecydowało się odłożyć film do szuflady. Winstone rozczarowany takim obrotem sprawy na długie miesiące zupełnie odszedł od aktorstwa imając się różnych zajęć i zawodów. Dopiero rozpoczęcie prac nad kinową wersją "Scum" okazało się zwrotem, który otworzył Rayowi drogę do udanej kariery aktorskiej. Od tego momentu wziął udział w 26 produkcjach kinowych, 40 telewizyjnych i 9 teatralnych. Ray Winstone to aktor niezwykle sugestywny. Kreowane przez niego postacie są autentyczne i wyraziste. Szczególnie role bohaterów, którzy poruszają się na styku moralności, emanują brutalnością i swoistym wulgaryzmem społecznym pozwalają docenić wielkość tego aktora. Winstone to taki typowy londyński gangster starszej daty i jako taki zapisał się w kadrach angielskiego kina społecznego.

biography:
Raymond Andrew Winstone, 19 Şubat 1957 tarihinde Londra'nın Hackney bölgesinde dünyaya geldi. Doğu Londra'da büyüyen Winstone, gençliğinde oyunculuktan önce boksa büyük bir ilgi duydu. Ünlü Repton Amatör Boks Kulübü'nde 12 yıl boyunca boks yaptı ve çıktığı 88 maçın 80'ini kazanarak oldukça başarılı bir amatör boksör oldu. Boksun kazandırdığı disiplin ve fiziksellik, ileride canlandıracağı "sert adam" karakterlerinin temelini oluşturdu.

Oyunculuk kariyerine adım atmaya karar verdikten sonra Corona Tiyatro Okulu'na kaydolan Winstone, büyük çıkışını henüz 20 yaşındayken, Alan Clarke'ın yönettiği ve İngiliz televizyon tarihinde bir dönüm noktası olan "Scum" (1977) adlı TV filminde canlandırdığı Carlin karakteriyle yaptı. Gençlik ıslahevinde geçen bu sert ve şiddet dolu yapım, yayınlandığında büyük tartışmalara yol açtı ve yasaklandı. Ancak 1979'da aynı kadroyla sinema filmi olarak yeniden çekildi ve Winstone'un performansı, onu bir anda İngiliz sinemasının en heyecan verici genç yeteneklerinden biri haline getirdi. Bu rol, onun kariyeri boyunca anılacağı asi ve sert imajını perçinledi.

1980'ler ve 90'lar boyunca kariyerini ağırlıklı olarak İngiliz sineması ve televizyonunda inşa eden Winstone, özellikle iki filmdeki performansıyla eleştirmenlerin büyük takdirini kazandı. 1997'de, yakın arkadaşı Gary Oldman'ın yönettiği "Nil by Mouth" filminde canlandırdığı alkolik ve şiddet eğilimli aile babası rolüyle En İyi Erkek Oyuncu dalında BAFTA Ödülü'ne aday gösterildi. 2000 yılında ise Jonathan Glazer'ın yönettiği "Seksi Hayvan" (Sexy Beast) filminde, emekli bir gangster olan Gal Dove'u İspanya'daki huzurlu hayatından koparmaya çalışan eski ortağı rolüyle hafızalara kazındı.

2000'li yıllardan itibaren Hollywood'da da aranan bir karakter oyuncusu haline gelen Ray Winstone, birçok büyük bütçeli yapımda yer aldı. Martin Scorsese'nin Oscar ödüllü filmi "Köstebek" (The Departed) (2006) filminde Jack Nicholson'ın sağ kolu Mr. French'i, Robert Zemeckis'in motion-capture teknolojisiyle çektiği "Beowulf: Ölümsüz Savaşçı" (2007) filminde ise başrolü canlandırdı. 2008'de "Indiana Jones: Kristal Kafatası Krallığı" (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) filminde George "Mac" MacHale karakteriyle efsanevi seriye dahil oldu. Son yıllarda ise Marvel Sinema Evreni'nin "Black Widow" (2021) filminde kötü karakter Dreykov'u oynayarak genç nesillerle de buluştu.

Kariyeri boyunca canlandırdığı karakterlere getirdiği ham ve otantik yorumla tanınan Ray Winstone, kendine özgü Londra aksanı ve korkutucu ekran karizmasıyla hem İngiliz hem de dünya sinemasının en özgün ve saygıdeğer aktörlerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir.
