Sir '''Philip Anthony Hopkins''' [[Order of the British Empire|CBE]] (born [[December 31]], [[1937]]) is a [[Welsh people|Welsh]], [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-, [[Golden Globe]]- and [[Emmy Award]]-winning [[film]], [[theater|stage]] and [[television]] actor. He was born and raised in [[Wales]], and also became a [[United States|U.S.]] citizen on April 12, 2000.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Hopkins was born in [[Margam]], [[Port Talbot]], [[Wales]], the son of Muriel Anne ([[married and maiden names|née]] Yeats) and Richard Arthur Hopkins, a baker.<ref name="actors">Stated in interview on ''[[Inside the Actors Studio]]'', 2007</ref> His mother is a distant relative of the Irish poet [[William Butler Yeats]].<ref name="actors"/> His schooldays were unproductive. A loner with [[dyslexia]], he found that he would rather immerse himself in art, such as painting and drawing or playing the piano, than attend to his studies. In 1949, to instill some discipline, his parents insisted he attend [[West Monmouth School|Jones' West Monmouth Boys' School]] in [[Pontypool]], [[Wales]]. He remained there for five terms and was then educated at [[Cowbridge Grammar School]], [[Cowbridge]], [[Wales]].

Hopkins was influenced and encouraged to become an actor by Welsh compatriot [[Richard Burton]], whom he met briefly at the age of 15. To that end, he enrolled at the Welsh College of Music and Drama in [[Cardiff]], [[Wales]] from which he graduated in 1957. After a two-year spell in the [[British Army|Army]], he moved to London where he trained at [[RADA]].

==Career==
In 1965, after several years in [[repertory]], he was spotted by [[Laurence Olivier|Sir Laurence Olivier]], who invited him to join the [[Royal National Theatre]]. Hopkins became Olivier's [[understudy]], and filled in when Olivier was struck with appendicitis during a production of [[August Strindberg]]'s ''The Dance of Death''. Olivier later noted in his memoir, ''Confessions of an Actor'', that, "A new young actor in the company of exceptional promise named Anthony Hopkins was understudying me and walked away with the part of Edgar like a cat with a mouse between its teeth".<ref name="falk">{{cite book | first=Quentin | last=Falk | year=2004 | title=Anthony Hopkins: The Biography | edition=4th | publisher=Virgin Books | id=ISBN 0-7535-0999-7}}</ref>

Despite his success at the National, Hopkins tired of repeating the same roles nightly and yearned to be in movies. In 1968, he got his break in ''[[The Lion in Winter (1968 film)|The Lion in Winter]]'' playing [[Richard I]], along with future [[James Bond]] star [[Timothy Dalton]], who played [[Philip II of France]].

Although Hopkins continued in theatre (most notably in the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] production of [[Peter Shaffer]]'s ''[[Equus (play)|Equus]]'', directed by [[John Dexter]]) he gradually moved away from it to become more established as a television and film actor. He made his small-screen debut in a 1967 [[BBC]] broadcast of ''[[A Flea in Her Ear]]''. He has since gone on to enjoy a long career, winning many plaudits and awards for his performances. Hopkins was made a [[Order of the British Empire|Commander of the British Empire]] ([[Order of the British Empire|CBE]]) in 1987, and a [[Knight Bachelor]] in 1993. In 1996, Hopkins was awarded an honorary fellowship from the [[University of Wales, Lampeter]].

Hopkins has stated that his role as [[Burt Munro]], whom he portrayed in his 2005 film ''[[The World's Fastest Indian]]'', was his favourite. He also asserted that Munro was the easiest role that he had ever played because both men have a similar outlook on life.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.solarnavigator.net/films_movies_actors/the_worlds_fastest_indian.htm| publisher=Solarnavigator.net | title=''The World's Fastest Indian| accessdate=2007-05-21}}</ref>

In 2006, Hopkins was the recipient of the [[Golden Globe]] [[Cecil B. DeMille Award]] for lifetime achievement.

===Acting style===
[[Image:I Rossellini A Hopkins.jpg|thumb|left|300px|[[Isabella Rossellini]] and Anthony Hopkins on location at [[Tempelhof Airport]] in Berlin to shoot some scenes for the movie "[[The Innocent (1993 film)|The Innocent]]"]]
Hopkins is renowned for his firm preparation for roles. He has confessed in interviews that once he has committed to a project, he will go over his lines as many times as is needed (sometimes upwards of 200) until the lines sound natural to him, so that he can "do it without thinking". This leads to an almost casual style of delivery that belies the amount of groundwork done beforehand. While it can allow for some careful improvisation, it has also brought him into conflict with the occasional director who departs from the script, or demands what the actor views as an excessive number of takes. Hopkins has also stated that after he is finished with a scene, he simply discards the lines, not remembering them later on. This is unlike other actors that usually remember their lines from a film even years later.<ref> "Anthony Hopkins: Lecter and Me" — ''Red Dragon'' DVD interview</ref>

[[Richard Attenborough]], who has directed Hopkins on five occasions, found himself going to great lengths during the filming of ''[[Shadowlands (film)|Shadowlands]]'' (1993) to accommodate the differing approaches of his two stars (Hopkins and [[Debra Winger]]), who shared many scenes. Whereas Hopkins liked to keep rehearsals to a minimum, preferring the spontaneity of a fresh take, Winger rehearsed continuously. To allow for this, Attenborough stood in for Hopkins during Winger's rehearsals, only bringing him in for the last one before a take. The director praised Hopkins for "this extraordinary ability to make you believe when you hear him that it is the very first time he has ever said that line. It's an incredible gift."<ref name="falk"/>

In addition, Hopkins is a gifted mimic, adept at turning his native Welsh accent into whatever is required by a character. He duplicated the voice of his late mentor, Laurence Olivier, for additional scenes in ''[[Spartacus (film)|Spartacus]]'' in its 1991 restoration. His interview on the 1998 relaunch edition of the British TV chat show ''[[Parkinson (TV series)|Parkinson]]'' featured an [[impersonation]] of comedian [[Tommy Cooper]].

===Hannibal Lecter===
[[Image:Heyes.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter in ''The Silence of the Lambs'']]
Hopkins' most famous role is the [[cannibalism|cannibalistic]] [[serial killer]] [[Hannibal Lecter]] in ''[[The Silence of the Lambs (film)|The Silence of the Lambs]]'' (for which he won the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]] in 1992) opposite [[Jodie Foster]] as [[Clarice Starling]], who also won for [[Academy Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]]. In addition, the film won [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]], [[Academy Award for Best Director|Best Director]] and [[Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay|Best Adapted Screenplay]]. It is the shortest lead performance to win an Oscar, as Hopkins only appears for about seventeen minutes. Hopkins went on to reprise his role as Lecter twice (''[[Hannibal (film)|Hannibal]]'' in 2001 and ''[[Red Dragon (film)|Red Dragon]]'' in 2002). His original portrayal of the character in ''The Silence of the Lambs'' has been labelled by the [[American Film Institute]] as the number-one film villain.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.afi.com/tvevents/100years/handv.aspx| publisher=AFI.com | title=AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes & Villains| accessdate=2007-05-21}}</ref> At the time he was offered the role, Hopkins was making a return to the London stage, performing in ''[[M. Butterfly]]''. He had come back to Britain after living for a number of years in Hollywood, having all but given up on a career there, saying, "Well that part of my life's over; it's a chapter closed. I suppose I'll just have to settle for being a respectable actor poncing around the West End and doing respectable BBC work for the rest of my life."<ref name="falk"/>

The character first appeared in the film ''[[Manhunter (film)|Manhunter]]'', which was loosely based on ''Red Dragon''. Lecter (spelled "Lektor" in the film) was played by British actor [[Brian Cox]]. Since ''Red Dragon'' was considered a remake of ''Manhunter'', it allowed Hopkins to play the [[icon]]ic villain in adaptations of all three of the best-selling Lecter novels by [[Thomas Harris]]. The author was reportedly very pleased with Hopkins' portrayal of his antagonist. However, Hopkins stated that ''Red Dragon'' would feature his final performance as the character, and that he would not reprise even a [[narrative]] role in the latest addition to the series, ''[[Hannibal Rising (film)|Hannibal Rising]]''.

==Personal life==
As of 2007, Hopkins resides in the United States. He had moved to the country once before during the 1970s to pursue his film career, but returned to Britain in the late 1980s. However, he decided to return to the U.S. following his 1990s success. He became a [[naturalization|naturalized citizen]] on [[April 12]], [[2000]], and celebrated with a 3,000-mile road trip across the country. As a dual national, despite having forgone his [[British honours system|knighthood]] at the time, he later chose to retain it and uses the title "Sir" in the UK.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2000-04-14 | publisher=IMDb | title=Hopkins renounces knighthood| accessdate=2006-08-13}}</ref> Hopkins has also stated that he only accepted the knighthood to make his wife happy.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/2000-04-14#film7| publisher=IMDb | title=A Knight or not?| accessdate=2006-08-13}}</ref> Some disappointment and outrage ensued over his American citizenship although very little of this came from his native Wales.{{Fact|date=October 2007}} In common with other British theatrical knights, the title is omitted for professional credits.

Hopkins has been married three times. His first two wives were Petronella Barker (1967 – 1972) and Jennifer Lynton (1973 – 2003). He is now married to [[Colombia]]-born Stella Arroyave. He has a daughter from his first marriage, Abigail Hopkins (born 1967), an actress and singer.

He has offered his support to various charities and appeals, notably becoming President of the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust's]] [[Snowdonia]] Appeal, raising funds for the preservation of the [[Snowdonia National Park]] and to aid the Trust's efforts to purchase parts of [[Snowdon]]. A book celebrating these efforts, ''Anthony Hopkins' Snowdonia,'' was published together with Graham Nobles. Hopkins, who can speak some [[Welsh language|Welsh]], also takes time to support various [[philanthropy|philanthropic]] groups. He was a Guest of Honour at a Gala Fundraiser for Women in Recovery, Inc., a [[Venice, California]]-based [[non-profit organization]] offering rehabilitation assistance to women in recovery from [[substance abuse]]. He is also a volunteer teacher at the Ruskin School of Acting in [[Santa Monica, California]], where he resides.

Hopkins is an acknowledged{{Fact|date=October 2007}} [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] who has been [[sobriety|sober]] since 1975. Hopkins is known to be a joker while on set, lightening the mood during production by barking like a dog when filming for a scene is started, according to a ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno|Tonight Show]]'' interview broadcast on [[9 April]] [[2007]].

==Other work==
Hopkins is a talented [[pianist]]. In [[1986]], he released a single called "Distant Star". It peaked at #75 in the UK charts. In [[2007]], he announced he would retire temporarily from the screen to tour around the world.<ref>{{cite web|author=Associated Press|date=[[December 3]], [[2007]]|url=http://www.elnuevodia.com/diario/noticia/musica/flash/de_gira_como_pianista/324637|title=De gira como pianista|accessdate=}}</ref>

In 1996, Hopkins directed his first film, ''August'', an adaptation of [[Chekhov]]'s ''[[Uncle Vanya]]''. His first screenplay, an experimental drama called ''[[Slipstream (2007 film)|Slipstream]]'', which he also directed and scored, premiered at the [[Sundance Film Festival]] in 2007.

Hopkins is a fan of the [[BBC]] [[sitcom]] ''[[Only Fools and Horses]]'', and once remarked in an interview how he'd love to appear in the series. Writer [[John Sullivan (writer)|John Sullivan]] saw the interview, and with Hopkins in mind created the character [[List of Only Fools and Horses characters#The Driscoll Brothers|Danny Driscoll]], a local villain. However, filming of the new series coincided with the filming of ''The Silence of the Lambs'', making Hopkins unavailable. The role instead went to his friend [[Roy Marsden]].<ref>{{cite book | author=Clark, Steve | title=The Only Fools and Horses Story| publisher=BBC Books| year=1998| id=ISBN 0-563-38445-X | pages=p. 125}}</ref>
