The son of a schoolteacher and a celebrated photojournalist, he was drawn to acting from an early age. Brody's first taste of show business came when he was 12 years old and performed as a magician at children's parties. With his mother's encouragement, he subsequently enrolled in acting classes, attending both the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the High School for the Performing Arts. He found his earliest work in off Broadway productions, and made his television debut in 1998 with a PBS movie and a turn as Mary Tyler Moore's son in the comedienne's ill-fated sitcom Annie McGuire. Despite roles in two high profile movies - The Thin Red Line (1998) and Summer of Sam (1999), it was not until Brody was cast as the eponymous protagonist in The Pianist that critics and the Academy really took notice of his work. For his portrayal of the real life Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish pianist struggling to survive the Holocaust in the Warsaw Ghetto, Brody invested himself mentally, emotionally, and physically in the role, and was rewarded for his dedication with numerous honors, including the French César and an Oscar that made him the youngest ever recipient of the Best Actor award.   Filmography: 2006 Truth, Justice and the American Way 2006 I'm Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Dylan 2005 King Kong 2005 The Jacket 2004 The Village 2003 Dummy 2003 The Singing Detective 2002 The Pianist 2001 Love the Hard Way 2001 The Affair of the Necklace 2000 Bread and Roses 2000 Harrison's Flowers 1999 Oxygen 1999 Summer of Sam 1999 Liberty Heights 1998 The Thin Red Line 1998 Restaurant 1997 The Undertaker's Wedding 1997 Six Ways To Sunday 1997 The Last Time I Committed Suicide 1996 Ten Benny 1996 Solo 1995 Bullet 1995 Nothing to Lose 1994 Jailbreakers 1994 Angels in the Outfield 1993 King of the Hill 1992 The Boy Who Cried Bitch 1989 New York Stories 1988 Home at Last   Awards: Academy Awards • 2002 Best Actor (The Pianist) French Academy of Cinema • 2002 Best Actor (The Pianist) Golden Globe • 2002 Best Actor - Drama (The Pianist) Screen Actors Guild • 2002 Best Actor (The Pianist)   Accommodation Life in Amed Bali Villa Pantulan Bali Villa Kanti Trading Carlo Showroom Ebone Designs Goddess Silks Sourcing For Living Travels Eco Dive Bali Gunung Leuser Trek Papua Adventures Premier Card Premier Options Jewelry Jean-François Fichot Art Galleries Antonius Kho I Madé Sumadiyasa Richard Winkler Sculpture by Filippos Tony Raka Art Gallery
