Alfred Molina: Difference between revisions

English character actor who began his career mostly typecast into "foreigner" roles due to his Spanish and Italian heritage. Nevertheless, Molina has carved out a career spanning more than three decades on stage and in film. His turn as Doctor Octopus in ''[[Spider Man (Film)|Spider-Man 2]]'' was arguably his biggest mainstream breakout, but before that he had racked up a steady array of memorable performances: in ''[[Frida]]'' as legendary Mexican painter Diego Rivera, ''[[Boogie Nights]]'' as Rahad Jackson, ''[[Prick Up Your Ears (Film)|Prick Up Your Ears]]'' as Kenneth Halliwell, ''[[Dudley Do Right]]'' as Snidely Whiplash and even his debut film performance in ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Film)|Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'' as the "throw me the idol, I throw you the whip" guy.

He also holds the record for most LEGO minifigures made out of a single actor, at six (there are four different Lego figures for [[Spider Man (Film)|Dr. Octopus]], plus one for [[Raiders of the Lost Ark (Film)|Satipo]] and one for [[Prince of Persia the Sands of Time (Film)|Sheik Amar]].
