Adrien Brody is anticipated to win the Oscar for best actor for his searing performance in “The Brutalist.” If he triumphs, it will be his second statue, after becoming the youngest best actor winner more than two decades ago for “The Pianist.”
Between these career bookends, Brody has worked steadily in various roles that show his range as an actor. He is adept at comedy, having appeared in several Wes Anderson films including, “Asteroid City,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “The French Dispatch” and “The Darjeeling Limited,” and was amusing as Salvador Dali in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris.”
