The Romantic
"There's not much glamour in this profession," insists Joseph Fiennes. He convinces no one. With his good looks and talent, the younger brother of Ralph has made his own mark. Much of his best work has been confined to Elizabethan England (Skakespeare In Love, Elizabeth), but last year he made it to the realms of the Second World War in Enemy At The Gates. Despite a burgeoning Hollywood career - he will next be seen in Killing Me softly alongside Heather Graham - Fiennes's first love is theatre. His critically aclaimed portrayal of Edward II in last year's Crucible Theatre production proved why.
