Ben Whishaw Biography
Ben came into the world on 14 October 1980, along with his twin brother James. He studied at Samuel Whitbread Community College in Clifton and went on to train at RADA, from where he graduated in 2003. He won the Most Promising Newcomer Award at the 2001 British Independent Film Awards for his role in `My Brother Tom`. Ben was also the youngest actor to play Hamlet in such a high-scale production, for which he was nominated for numerous awards. Ben is perhaps best known for his breakthrough role as Hamlet, and his role as the lead character in Tom Tykwer`s film Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.

Trivia
Quotes
  • I do think Dylan`s incredible.I sort of fell in love with him. I became obsessed. But I`ve moved on now. I always do.
    (imdb.com)
  • I began to feel that he was a character who, left to his own devices, wouldn`t really speak at all.I thought about him as being autistic in some way. He simply doesn`t understand human beings. Social situations terrify him. On the character jean-Baptiste Grenouille
    (imdb.com)
  • It`s difficult, it`s a bit like acting in a silent movie. That`s what Dustin Hoffman said to me, anyway. We did the scenes with him in the first two weeks, and as he was leaving he said `well now you`re making a silent film Ben, good luck!`. On making Perfume
    (imdb.com)
  • I`ve been out to LA a couple of times but, over there, the Grenouille in me always comes to the surface. I feel completely terrified, totally flummoxed, like I don`t understand what the hell is going on. I`ve no desire at all to go back there.
