A restless talent across stage and screen
From British social realism to period comedy and animation, Albert Finney built a career marked by striking transformations.
Salford, England
A performer who kept changing shape
Born in Salford on 9 May 1936, Albert Finney trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and worked on stage as well as in film and television.
His role in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning helped define a new generation of British screen acting. The exuberant Tom Jones soon showed a different side of his range and brought him an Academy Award nomination.
His later performances ranged from Hercule Poirot in Murder on the Orient Express to lawyer Ed Masry in Erin Brockovich. The latter brought his fifth Oscar nomination, this time for supporting actor.
Finney also lent his voice to Finis Everglot in the stop-motion animation Corpse Bride. His final film appearance was in Skyfall; he died in 2019.
