Alfred Molina was born in 1953, in London, UK, of a Spanish father and an Italian mother. He studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London. His stage work includes two major Royal National Theatre productions, 'Tennessee Williams' ' "The Night of the Iguana" (as Shannon) and 'David Mamet' 's "Speed the Plow" (as Fox), plus a splendid performance in 'Yasmina Reza' 's "Art" (his Broadway debut), for which he received a Tony Award nomination in 1998. He made his film debut in "Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)" and got a good part in "Letter to Brezhnev (1985)" (as a Soviet sailor who spends a night at Liverpool), but his movie breakthrough came two years later when he played - superbly - Kenneth Halliwell, the tragic lover of Joe Orton, in 'Stephen Frears' ' "Prick Up Your Ears (1987)" .
