Career

He began acting lessons as a child and appeared in an Off-Broadway play and a PBS television film by the age of 13. Brody, who appeared in Bullet in 1996 with Tupac Shakur and Mickey Rourke, was on the verge of fame, receiving an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his role in the 1998 film Restaurant and later praise for his appearances in Spike Lee's Summer of Sam and Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line. When he was cast as the lead in Roman Polanski's The Pianist (2002), he received a lot of attention. Brody waited for months, gave up his house and his car, and broke up with his then-girlfriend, who weighed in on Chopin on the piano, limiting him to 130 pounds (13.6 kg). He received the Academy Award for Best Actor, making him the youngest actor to win the competition ever and, to date, the only winner under the age of thirty. He has since been rewarded with the César Award for his efforts.

Brody appeared on Saturday Night Live on May 10, 2003, his first television appearance. During this appearance, he controversially gave an improvised introduction for Jamaican reggae musical guest Sean Paul, while wearing faux dreadlocks and using a Jamaican accent. Brody did so without the knowledge of producer Lorne Michaels, resulting in his expulsion from Saturday Night Live. Since being tricked by Ashton Kutcher, NBC's The Today Show and MTV's Punk'd are two other television appearances.

Brody appeared in four very different films after The Pianist. Steven Schoichet was shot in Dummy (released in 2003, but it was shot in 2000, just before his time in The Pianist), portraying him as a socially awkward teen ventriloquist in search of a love interest (his employment counsellor). He learned ventriloquism and puppetry for the role (under the tutelage of actor/ventriloquist Alan Semok) professionally enough to perform all of the voice stunts and puppetry live on stage in real time, with no subsequent post-dubbing. In the film The Village by M. Night Shyamalan, shell-shocked war veteran Jack Starks in The Jacket, writer Jack Driscoll in the 2005 King Kong remake, and father-to-be Peter Whitman in Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. King Kong was both a critical and box office hit, grossing $550 million worldwide, and it was Brody's most commercial film to date. In the film's video game version, he reprised his role as Driscoll. In addition, Brody played a detective in Hollywoodland. He has appeared in Diet Coke and Schweppes commercials, as well as Tori Amos' music video for "A Sorta Fairytale."

He was also in talks with In J. Abrams' Star Trek, he was also in talks to play Spock, but Zachary Quinto was ultimately chosen. He appeared in Splice, a science-fiction film written and directed by Vincenzo Natali in 2009. Splice, the original Sundance film, was released by Dark Castle Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. He appeared in Royce Predators (a sequel to the original Predator) directed by Nimród Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez in 2010.
