A British actor with outrageously long-lashed brown eyes and darkly intense looks, Joseph Fiennes has created a solid career both on stage and in film with various performances ranging from the classics to modern comedy. This tall striking actor, who is frequently cast as a character who writes, was launched to stardom and is most-known to moviegoers as the poor novelist William Shakespeare, opposite Gweneth Paltrow, in the hit Shakespeare in Love (1998), in which he netted such awards as a Las Vegas Film Critics Society award, a Broadcast Film Critics Association award, a Chicago Film Critics Association award, a Blockbuster Entertainment award, a Screen Actors Guild award and a MTV Movie award. One of the movie industry’s hottest properties, Fiennes is ... well-recognized as Cate Blanchett’s love interest in the popular Elizabeth (1998), the astute Laurence in the comedy The Very Thought of You (1998) and Bassanio in the Michael Radford film version of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice (2004, earned a nomination with Golden Satellite).

[L]et’s see here… a movie about Nelson Mandela, starring Joseph Fiennes, that’s getting released in late December. Gee, do you think they’re hoping to win a few Oscars with this one? Goodbye Bafana is based on the memoirs of James Gregory, the warden at Robben Island, where Mandela was imprisoned between 1964 and 1982. The accuracy of the book has been questioned, but the movie shows the friendship that develops between Gregory and Mandela, eventually helping Gregory to overcome his racist views. Joseph Fiennes and Diane Kruger play James Gregory and his wife Gloria, while Mandela is played by Dennis Haysbert (24). For more info visit the official website at www.goodbyebafana.com.

Now that Joseph Fiennes has entered the hunk arena (thanks to his playing opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love"), his personal life is suddenly under scrutiny -- though those interested in it are getting no help from the actor himself. Like his better-known, older brother Ralph, Joseph enjoys his privacy and won't discuss his love life. "What is sad is the angle of a lot of the press is the gossip," Fiennes told the Boston Herald. "It's a chicken-and-egg thing. Is it the readers who want the gossip? Or journalists who want to give it to please their editors?
