Pierce Brosnan Biography
Name: Pierce Brosnan
Born: 16 May 1953 (Age: 58)
Where: Navan, Ireland
Height: 6' 2"
Awards: 1 Golden Globe Nomination
Biography:
Many, many actors are typecast due to their looks. Some are perennial villains, others knockabout dudes, or British aristocrats. Their talents are made obsolete by their faces, their actorly training is all for nothing. Feel sorry then for the man who is James Bond. For not only did Pierce Brosnan star as Agent 007, but he was such a perfect choice for the role that audiences considered him to be Bond even before he played the role. Throughout Timothy Dalton's tenure, even towards the end of Roger Moore's, Brosnan was Bond-in-waiting. Every character he played was seen as either a stop-gap or practice for the day he'd load that Beretta and slip behind the wheel of that Aston-Martin. It came as no surprise that, when he did take over, the ailing Bond franchise enjoyed its greatest successes ever.
Yet Brosnan's story is far more interesting than just a long, long wait for GoldenEye. He began as a stage actor of major repute in London's West End. He was a Golden Globe-nominated TV star and found major fame as Remington Steele. And, throughout his "lost" years, he turned in a series of notable performances in unheralded movies - he was just as likely to play a disturbed psychotic as a smooth sophisticate. His personal life, too, has been far more interesting (and trauma-ridden) than most.
He was born Pierce Brendan Brosnan on the 16th of May, 1953, in Navan, County Meath. Popularly known as An Uaimh, it's about 30 miles north-west of Dublin, just inland from Drogheda. His father, Thomas, was a carpenter who left mother Mary (known as May) before Pierce was a year old. Needing a career to support her son, May travelled to London to train as a nurse, leaving young Pierce with her parents, Philip and Kathleen Smith. Sadly, when he was 6, both grandparents died, so he was moved on to stay with relatives. He recalls spending lots of time in his aunt's pub, feeling lonely and abandoned. "But maybe that's where the acting comes from", he says "from spending so much time alone with your thoughts".
Eventually, he was taken into a lodging house by one Eileen Reilly. And there was Catholic school, young Pierce suffering under the severe regime of the Christian Brothers. Here he was beaten and "Religion was rammed down my throat. It was pretty brutal. I've got some resentments". Due to an expose in the News Of The World, the school would be shut down some months after Pierce left.

Biography:
Orlando Bloom is an extraordinary success story. Has any actor ever been as famous or desired without ever headlining a major picture? And which other actor can boast a US box office average of well in excess of $100 million per movie, even if the calculation includes the films he's made but not yet released? The man's rise has been meteoric, to say the least. And, given the projects he has in the pipeline, it can only continue.
Orlando was born in Canterbury, Kent on the 13th of January, 1977. His mother, Sonia, was a businesswoman and writer, who ran a language school for foreign students, while his father, Harry, was a Professor of Law at the University of Kent. In the eyes of millions, Harry was a hero. A South African, he had spent much of his life battling against apartheid. And he had not done this by penning a few outraged essays while cocooned in some academic safehouse. Harry had been out there on the frontline, working as a lawyer alongside the likes of Nelson Mandela. His first novel, Episode (later titled Transvaal Episode), published in 1956, had described an uprising in a township following the ANC's campaign of defiance in 1952-3. The book had been banned by the authorities who believed it might stir up racial tension and endanger the state. Harry was now a marked man. His second novel, Whittaker's Wife, was written while he was behind bars serving a 3-month sentence.
These were important books. Exported across the world, for many they were the first glimpse of the horrors of South African apartheid. And consequently for many they marked the beginning of the fight to set things right. The South African state knew this and persecuted Bloom without cease. Come 1963, he exiled himself to Canterbury.
Sadly, Harry Bloom died when Orlando was four, leaving Sonia to raise the boy and his sister Samantha, two years his senior. She did a fine job. Canterbury had a strong hippy history and a continuing ken for creative bohemianism, and Sonia fitted in well. She would constantly encourage her children in their artistic endeavours and, by her influence, young Orlando would become fascinated by language, photography, and art. He'd also be an avid horse-rider, something that would stand him in good stead in his breakthrough film role.
And, of course, there would be drama. As a kid he would always appear in school plays, his enthusiasm and early abilities usually earning him a plum role. Sonia would take the kids to see plays and musicals whenever possible. Then, at age 12, spending one Christmas in Boston with family, his cousin, an art director working in Los Angeles, rented a heap of videos to watch over the festive period.
