Tim Roth: Native American
built 201 days ago
Thirty-five-year-old English actor Tim Roth is a dirty blond with a sexy smirk and a huge schnozzle. He's short in stature but photographs big. And he's a quick-change artist who can contort his face into a myriad of expressions: His eyes pop, his eyebrows soar, his mouth twists. BUt it's the way his personality twists that has made him the favorite British vagabond in American movies.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Youth Without Youth stars Tim Roth as Dominic Matei, an aging professor of linguistics who survives a cataclysmic event to find his youth miraculously restored. Dominic's physical rejuvenation is matched by a highly evolved intellect, which attracts the attention of Nazi scientists, forcing him into exile. While on the run, he reunites with his lost love, Laura, and works to complete his research into the origins of human language. When his research threatens Laura’s well being, Dominic is forced to choose between his life’s work and the great love of his life. Youth Without Youth ... stars Alexandra Maria Lara, Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Pirici, Marcel Iures and Andre M. Hennicke. It is based upon a novella by Mircea Eliade and produced by Coppola for American Zoetrope.

In one respect, Roth was fortunate in that his early career coincided with a push towards tough contemporary dramas by the likes of Granada and the new Channel 4. The early Eighties ... saw experimental and political theatre abounding. There was work for this angry young turk. Though it wouldn't last it did give him a fabulous start on his long journey. Roth, you see, was already looking further afield. A fan of The Method, the way American actors became their characters, he had huge respect for the likes of De Niro and Pacino, Jack Nicholson and recent newcomer Mickey Rourke. The American way was best (why, he even had that New York Italian girlfriend).

Tim Roth as Yank Lawyer Jeff Platzer (as unrecognizable here as he was as a Chimp in that Burton Flick). He's damned good and portrays an American better now than he did in
