biography:
Kenneth Charles Branagh 1960. december 10-én született Észak-Írországban, Belfastban. 23 éves korában lett a Royal Shakespeare Company tagja, ahol az V. Henrikben és a Rómeó és Júliában is főszerepet kapott. Az RSC-t hamar túl személytelennek találta, így megalapította saját társaságát, a Renaissance Theatre Companyt.

1989-ben, 29 évesen forgatta le az V. Henriket, melynek egy személyben volt rendezője és főszereplője is. Filmben, melyet két kategóriában jelöltek Oscar-díjra későbbi feleségével, Emma Thompsonnal játszott együtt. 1993-ban újabb Shakespeare adaptációval állt a közönség elé (Sok hűhó semmiért – 1993), majd 30 évesen megjelentette önéletrajzát is. 1994-ben került a mozikba következő filmje, a Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, melynek főszerepét Robert De Niro játszotta. A kritikusok keményen bírálták az alkotást, mely a közönség körében sem örvendett nagy népszerűségnek.  A renoméját az 1996-os nagysikerű Hamlettel szerezte vissza, melynek egy személyben volt írója és rendezője is, ezt követően több filmben (Sztárral szemben – 1998, Wild Wild West - Vadiúj vadnyugat – 1999, Irány eldorádó – 2000). és sorozatban (10 nap a háborúig, Wallander) is feltűnt.

2011-ben megkapta a Marvel-képregényadaptáció, a Thor rendezői székét, mellyel óriási sikereket ér el világszerte. Még ugyanebben az évben került bemutatásra a közönség- és kritikuskedvenc Egy hét Marilynnel (2011), melyben színészként is közreműködött.

Kennet Branagh 1995-ben vált el Emma Thompsontól, jelenlegi második feleségével, Lindsay Brunnock-kal él együtt.

biography:
Sir Kenneth Charles Branagh, 10 Aralık 1960 tarihinde Belfast, Kuzey İrlanda'da işçi sınıfı bir ailenin çocuğu olarak dünyaya gelmiştir. Çocukluğunun ilk yılları Belfast'ta geçse de, ailesi "The Troubles" olarak bilinen siyasi çatışmalar nedeniyle o dokuz yaşındayken İngiltere'nin Reading kentine taşınmıştır. Gençlik yıllarında aksanından kurtulmak ve İngiliz telaffuzunu benimsemek zorunda kalan Branagh, oyunculuğa büyük bir ilgi duyarak Kraliyet Dramatik Sanatlar Akademisi'nde (RADA) eğitim aldı ve burada üstün yeteneğiyle dikkat çekerek Bancroft Altın Madalyası'nı kazandı.

Profesyonel kariyerine tiyatro sahnelerinde başlayan Branagh, Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) bünyesinde sergilediği performanslarla kısa sürede "yeni Laurence Olivier" olarak anılmaya başlandı. Sinemadaki büyük çıkışını ve uluslararası tanınırlığını, William Shakespeare'in oyunundan uyarladığı, hem yönettiği hem de başrolünü üstlendiği "V. Henry" (Henry V) (1989) filmiyle gerçekleştirdi. Bu filmle En İyi Yönetmen ve En İyi Erkek Oyuncu dallarında Oscar'a aday gösterilerek bu başarıyı elde eden en genç sanatçılardan biri oldu. 1990'lar boyunca "Kuru Gürültü" (Much Ado About Nothing) (1993), "Hamlet" (1996) gibi iddialı Shakespeare uyarlamalarının yanı sıra, Mary Shelley'nin eserinden uyarladığı "Mary Shelley'den Frankenstein" (1994) gibi yapımlarla yönetmenlik ve oyunculuk kariyerini sağlamlaştırdı.

2000'li yıllarda hem kamera arkasında hem de önünde geniş bir yelpazede işler üreten Branagh, "Harry Potter ve Sırlar Odası" (2002) filmindeki Gilderoy Lockhart rolüyle genç nesiller tarafından da tanındı. Televizyonda ise "Wallander" dizisindeki dedektif rolüyle eleştirmenlerden tam not aldı. Yönetmenlik kariyerinde Marvel Sinematik Evreni'nin temellerinden biri olan "Thor" (2011) ve Disney'in canlı aksiyon uyarlaması "Sindirella" (2015) gibi büyük bütçeli gişe filmlerine imza attı. Christopher Nolan ile de sık sık işbirliği yapan aktör, "Dunkirk" (2017), "Tenet" (2020) ve "Oppenheimer" (2023) filmlerinde önemli roller üstlendi.

Son dönemde Agatha Christie'nin ünlü dedektifi Hercule Poirot'yu canlandırdığı ve aynı zamanda yönettiği "Doğu Ekspresinde Cinayet" (2017), "Nil'de Ölüm" (2022) ve "Venedik'te Cinayet" (2023) filmleriyle klasik polisiye türünü modern sinemaya taşıdı. Branagh'ın kariyerindeki en kişisel proje ise, kendi çocukluğundan esinlendiği siyah-beyaz filmi "Belfast" (2021) oldu. Bu filmle En İyi Özgün Senaryo dalında Akademi Ödülü'nü (Oscar) kazanarak kariyerini taçlandırdı. Sanata katkılarından dolayı 2012 yılında Kraliçe II. Elizabeth tarafından "Sir" unvanıyla onurlandırılmıştır.
