Guy Pearce is an English-born Australian actor and musician. Pearce was born in Cambridgeshire, England on October 5, 1967 and moved to Geelong, Australia at age 3. He attended the Geelong College, a local private school, and was a member of the GSODA Junior Players. From the age of 15 to 22, he was a competitive amateur bodybuilder, leading to the title of Junior Mr. Victoria. He also partook in fencing. He lived in Box Hill North, Victoria in the late 1980s while working on the Australian drama series ‘Neighbours’. Pearce made his feature film debut as a drag artist in 1994's 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'. Pearce's Hollywood debut was in the Oscar-winning 1997 film 'L.A. Confidential'. His onscreen intensity and that film's success led Pearce into big-budget features in the early 2000s such as 'Rules of Engagement', 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'The Time Machine'. But it was his turn as Leonard in Chris Nolan's psychological thriller Memento -- a man with no short-term memory, trying desperately to solve the mystery surrounding his wife's death -- that made him an art house favourite. Guy Pearce then slowed his career to one or two independent features a year, including 'The Proposition' and 'Factory Girl', and began taking smaller roles in well-received movies. His other films include 'The Hurt Locker', 'The Road', 'Animal Kingdom', 'The King's Speech' and 'Lockout'.
