Anthony Hopkins

Foster’s Silence of the Lambs co-star, Anthony Hopkins, was doing grown-up roles when she was a child star, but they’re both thriving now. Hopkins’ 1960s roles include The Lion in Winter (1968, as seen above) and Hamlet (1969).

His very busy subsequent decades included Magic (1978), The Elephant Man (1980), Silence of the Lambs (1991) — for which he won a Best Actor Oscar with just 16 minutes of screen time — Nixon (1995), Amistad (1997), Hannibal (2001), The Human Stain (2003), Alexander (2004) and Hitchcock (2012). Along the way he’s also dropped into the Thor, Transformers and Mission: Impossible Franchises.

But perhaps his best work of all was for 2020’s The Father, in which he earned his second Best Actor Oscar for his role as an octogenarian losing his faculties. He does almost everything in a role that an actor can do.

The 86-year-old’s long list of awards includes four BAFTA Awards and an Olivier Award, as well as being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. He’ll next play King Herod in the upcoming Biblical epic Mary, and currently appears in the streaming gladiator series Those About to Die.
