Jim attended Quaker boarding school in Reading, England before applying for a place at an art school. His heart was in acting and would later transfer to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. After his graduation in 1972, he began his professional career on the stage, performing with the Royal National Theatre. Broadbent made his film debut with a small part in The Shout (1978). Through his collaboration with director Leigh, Broadbent first became known to international film audiences. In 1991, he starred in Leigh's Life Is Sweet, a domestic comedy that cast him as a good-natured cook who dreams of running his own business. Broadbent gained further visibility when he starred in The Crying Game and Enchanted April. Then, he could subsequently be seen in various films such as Bullets Over Broadway (1994), Widows' Peak (1994), Richard III (1996), and Little Voice (1998). 2001 is quite a marquee year for Broadbent as he took on a supporting role as Renee Zellweger’s father in Bridget Jones' Diary and starred as Zidler in Moulin Rouge opposite Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. Broadbent earned both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of husband and biographer John Bayley in Iris (2002).   Filmography: 2005 Valiant 2005 Robots 2005 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 2004 Vera Drake 2004 Around the World in 80 Days 2004 Pride 2004 The Magic Roundabout 2004 Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason 2004 Vanity Fair 2003 And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself   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
