Ben Kingsley |
|
| Birth name: Krishna Bhanji |
| Birth date: 31.12.1943 |
Scarborough, Yorkshire, and grew up in Pendlebury, Salford, then in Lancashire. His father, Harji Bhanji, was a Kenyan-born medical doctor of Indian (Gujarati Hindu) descent, and his mother, Anna Lyna Mary, was a fashion model and actress; one of his maternal grandparents was a Jewish immigrant from Russia.[1] He began his acting career on the stage at Manchester Grammar School alongside Robert Powell, but made a transition to film roles early on. Despite this focus on film, he continued to act on the stage, playing (for instance) Mosca in Peter Hall's 1977 production of Ben Jonson's Volpone for the Royal National Theatre. It was at this point that he changed his name, fearing a foreign name would hamper his career. |
