Albert Finney has been a film and stage star for over 40 years, ever since first taking the movie and theater worlds by storm in 1960 with his roles in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and Billy Liar. Oscar-nominated performances followed in Tome Jones, Mueder on the Orient Express, The Dresser, and Under the Volcano. Now 66, Finney's star on both sides of the Atlantic is still rising as he matures into a consistently impressive range of roles. He co-starred again with Tom Courtenay in the BAFTA-winning A Rather English Marriage and received a fifth Oscar nomination for his role opposite Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovitch.
