Biography
Rhys Ifans was born 22nd July 1968 in Ruthin, Wales. He was educated at the Guildford School of Music and Drama and began performing in youth theatre at 13. In his later teens he sang lead vocals with neighborhood friends who later became the rock band Super Furry Animals. Rhys has appeared in several other rock videos including the Stereophonics, Catatonia and more recently Oasis.
In 1999 Rhys won international recognition for his scene-stealing performance as Hugh Grant’s scruffy housemate in the hit NOTTING HILL, directed by Roger Michell. Rhys has since appeared in films as diverse as the Adam Sandler-helmed LITTLE NICKY, Lasse Hallstrom's THE SHIPPING NEWS, HOTEL, directed by Mike Figgis, HUMAN NATURE, directed by Michel Gondry, THE 51ST STATE, with Robert Carlisle and Samuel L Jackson and ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE MIDLANDS, directed by Shane Meadows.
He played the lead opposite Miranda Otto in DANNY DECKCHAIR, directed by Jeff Balsmeyer. Rhys has also made a number of stage appearances including ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN ANARCHIST, at the Donmar Warehouse, directed by Robert Delamere, VOLPONE at The National, directed by Matthew Warchus and UNDER MILK WOOD, also at the National and directed by Roger Michell.
Rhys has lent a menacing turn to his portrayal of Jed in Roger Michell’s ENDURING LOVE based on Ian McEwan’s disturbing best-selling novel. This year also saw him in Mira Nair’s VANITY FAIR and in early January 2005 Rhys played the lead role in NOT ONLY BUT ALWAYS, a Peter Cook biopic for Channel Four, which earned him a BAFTA Television award for best actor.
