# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Jeremy John Irons trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and launched his stage career in 1969, working through Shakespeare in the West End before taking Broadway in 1984 with The Real Thing, which won him a Tony. Film came with The French Lieutenant's Woman in 1981, the same year he played Charles Ryder in Brideshead Revisited and became a name. The next decade brought Betrayal, The Mission, and the psychosexual chill of Dead Ringers, then the Academy Award in 1990 for Reversal of Fortune's Claus von Bülow. He voiced Scar in The Lion King in 1994, played across Lolita, Die Hard with a Vengeance, and Margin Call, and collected three Emmys — one for Elizabeth I's Robert Dudley, another as part of the Triple Crown. He's Alfred Pennyworth now in the DC films, and in 2011 the UN made him a Goodwill Ambassador for food and agriculture.
