# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Wales on 31 December 1937, Hopkins trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and RADA before Laurence Olivier spotted him and brought him into the Royal National Theatre in 1965, where he took on King Lear, Coriolanus, and Macbeth. Early film work — The Lion in Winter in 1968, The Elephant Man in 1980 — built the foundation, but 1991's The Silence of the Lambs made him inescapable: Hannibal Lecter won him his first Academy Award and became a cultural fixture. The next three decades brought four more Oscar nominations andework that ranged from the stiff heartbreak of The Remains of the Day to Dracula, Nixon, and eventually Odin in the Marvel films. In 2020, at 83, he won his second Oscar for playing a man losing his mind in The Father. Knighted in 1993, he's also claimed two Emmys, four BAFTAs, and a career that never narrowed.
