Who Am I? - Give one clue before each round of the pub quiz

Clue 1 ? For 5 points:

Clue 2 ? For 4 points:

Growing up, I was a sensitive child, happier drawing, painting and playing the piano (I?m now a virtuoso) than hanging with the other kids. I was dyslexic, and very poor academically. Instead I use to love watching fims, coming to diolise stars like Bogart, Cagney, Jack Palance and Richard Burton.

Clue 3 ? For 3 Points:

Following my dream I left school to enrol in the Cardiff College of music and drama and after graduation I took a job with the Arts Council.

Clue 4 ? For Two Points:

My ' inherited characteristics made me intense, and my years as a lonely outsider fuelled the fire. I won a place at RADA and sprnt the 70?s and 80?s fleeting between theatre and the big screen covering such diverse roles as:

• secret serviceman Philip Calvert, in Alistair MacLean's When Eight Bells Toll
• Captain Bligh to Mel Gibson's rebellious Fletcher Christian in The Bounty

Clue 5 ? For One Point

In the 90?s, out of the blue, came the big one ? I was re introduced to the Big Screen as Hannibal Lecter in  Jonathan Demme`s Silence of the lambs. I won an Oscar for this and followed it up with hit roles in Dracula, Chaplin, Legends of the Fall, Amistad, The Mask of Zorro and Meet Joe Black.
