Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, England:
Peter Seamus O'Toole (2 agosto 1932 – 14 dicembre 2013) è stato un attore britannico-irlandese. Frequentò la Royal Academy of Dramatic Art e iniziò a lavorare nel teatro, guadagnandosi riconoscimento come attore shakespeariano al Bristol Old Vic e con la English Stage Company. Nel 1959 debuttò nel West End in The Long and the Short and the Tall, e interpretò il ruolo principale in Amleto nella prima produzione del National Theatre nel 1963. Eccezionando sul palcoscenico londinese, O'Toole era noto per il suo stile di vita da "hellraiser" fuori dal palcoscenico. Debuttando al cinema nel 1959, O'Toole ottenne riconoscimento internazionale interpretando T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence d'Arabia (1962), per il quale ricevette la sua prima nomination all'Oscar come miglior attore. Fu nominato per questo premio altre sette volte – per aver interpretato il re Enrico II sia in Becket (1964) che in Il leone d'inverno (1968), Addio, signor Chips (1969), La classe dirigente (1972), The Stunt Man (1980), Il mio anno preferito (1982) e Venere (2006) – e detiene il record per il maggior numero di nomination agli Oscar per recitazione senza vincimento (a pari merito con Glenn Close). Nel 2002 gli è stato conferito l'Academy Honorary Award per i suoi successi di carriera. O'Toole ha ricevuto quattro Golden Globe Awards, un BAFTA Award come Miglior Attore Britannico e un Primetime Emmy Award. Altre esibizioni includono What's New Pussycat? (1965), Come rubare un milione (1966), Supergirl (1984) e ruoli minori ne L'ultimo imperatore (1987) e Troy (2004). Ha anche doppiato Anton Ego, il critico gastronomico in Ratatouille (2007) della Pixar.
