Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins, CBE (born 31 December 1937) is a Welsh actor of film, stage, and television, and a composer and painter. After graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in 1957, he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and was then spotted by Laurence Olivier who invited him to join the Royal National Theatre. In 1968, he got his break in film in ''The Lion in Winter'', playing Richard I. Considered to be one of the greatest living actors, Hopkins is well known for his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in ''The Silence of the Lambs'', for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, its sequel ''Hannibal'', and the prequel ''Red Dragon''. Other notable films include ''The Mask of Zorro'', ''The Bounty'', ''Meet Joe Black'', ''The Elephant Man'', ''Magic'', ''84 Charing Cross Road'', ''Bram Stoker's Dracula'', ''Legends of the Fall'', ''Thor'', ''The Remains of the Day'', ''Amistad'', ''Nixon'', ''The World's Fastest Indian'', ''Instinct'', and ''Fracture''. Along with his Academy Award, Hopkins has also won three BAFTA Awards, two Emmys and the Cecil B. DeMille Award. In 1993, Hopkins was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to the arts.〔 He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003, and was made a Fellow of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 2008.〔〔 ==Early life== Hopkins was born on 31 December 1937 in Margam, Port Talbot, Wales, the son of Annie Muriel (née Yeates) and Richard Arthur Hopkins, a baker.〔Stated in interview on ''Inside the Actors Studio'', 2007.〕 His schooldays were unproductive; he found that he would rather immerse himself in art, such as painting and drawing, or playing the piano, than attend to his studies. In 1949, to instill discipline, his parents insisted he attend Jones' West Monmouth Boys' School in Pontypool, Wales. He remained there for five terms and was then educated at Cowbridge Grammar School in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.〔(Anthony Hopkins: My life in pictures ) ''Daily Mail''. Retrieved 6 January 2011.〕 Hopkins was influenced and encouraged by Welsh compatriot Richard Burton (also born in Port Talbot), whom he met at the age of 15. Hopkins promptly enrolled at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff, Wales, from which he graduated in 1957.〔 After two years in the British Army doing his national service, he moved to London, where he trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.〔(A dark and stormy knight ) ''The Guardian''.
