Sir Alec Guinness, 1914 –2000 was an English Academy Award- and Tony Award-winning actor.
Guinness first worked writing copy for advertising before making his debut at the Albery Theatre in 1936 at the age of 22, playing the role of Osric in John Gielgud's wildly successful production of Hamlet. An early influence from afar was Stan Laurel, whom Guinness admired.
After appearing in Lean's Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, he was given a starring role opposite William Holden in Bridge on the River Kwai. For his performance as Colonel Nicholson, the unyielding British POW leader, Guinness won an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Guinness' role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars trilogy, beginning in 1977, brought him worldwide recognition by a new generation. His role would also result in a Golden Globe Nomination and Academy Award Nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
