1990-present

[3] [3] [4] Rhys Ifans(Welsh pronunciation:[r̥ɨːsˈivans]; bornRhys Owain Evansis a Welsh actor and; 22 July 1967) musician. He is known for his portrayal of characters such as Spike inNotting Hilland Jed Parry inEnduring Love and as a member of the Welsh rock groups Super Furry Animals and The Peth. Ifans also appeared as Xenophilius Lovegood inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, and will appear as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard in the upcomingThe Amazing Spider-Man. He played Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford, inAnonymous. Ifans gained fame in the United States as the gambling footballer turned American football player Nigel Gruff in the 2000 film The Replacements.

Early life Ifans was born in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales, in 1968 the son of Beti Wyn (nae Davies), a nursery school [5] [6] teacher, and Eirwyn Evans, a primary school teacher. His first language is Welsh. Ifans grew up in Ruthin, [7] North Wales, and received his primary education at Ysgol Pentrecelyn, where his mother worked, before attending Ysgol Maes Garmon, a Welsh language secondary school in Mold, Flintshire, where he sat his O levels and A levels. He also attended youth acting schools at Theatr Clwyd, Mold and trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Rhys Ifans

Career In 1990, Ifans presentedStwnsh(Welsh for "Mash"), an anarchic children's quiz programme. In total 31 [8] fifteen-minute programmes were broadcast on Welsh-language TV channel S4C. Ifans appeared in many Welsh-language television programmes before embarking on his film career, as well as performing at the Royal National Theatre, London and the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester. [9] He was briefly lead vocalist of the rock band Super Furry Animals before they released any records. After his role as Jeremy Lewis in the Swansea-based movieTwin Town(1997), he gained international exposure in his role as the slovenly roommate Spike in the British filmNotting Hill(1999). According to the DVD's commentary, Ifans did not wash or brush his teeth, in preparation for the role. He played Adrian, the pompous eldest brother inLittle Nicky(2000). His film roles include:Eyeball PaulinKevin and Perry Go Large(2000), Nigel inThe Replacements(2000), Iki in The 51st State(2001), William Dobbin inVanity Fair(2004), and Vladis Grutas inHannibal Rising(2007). He played Jed Parry in the film version of Ian McEwan'sEnduring Loveand the lead role inDanny Deckchair(2003) as Danny Morgan. In 2002 he gained some controversy in the British media for his alleged support of Welsh nationalist group Meibion Glyndbr, a militant group who support violence against English home owners in the Welsh heartlands. This was mainly because of some comments he made in an interview conducted by Mariella Frostrup forThe Observer [10] newspaper. In 2005, Ifans won a BAFTA for his portrayal of comedian Peter Cook in the TV filmNot Only But Always. Later that year he made a guest appearance for the rock band Oasis in the video for their single "The Importance of Being Idle" for which he accepted their award forVideo Of the Yearat the 2005/2006 NME Awards. He has also made appearances in the music videos for "God! Show Me Magic", and "Hometown unicorn" by the Super Furry Animals, "Mulder & Scully" by Catatonia, and "Mama Told Me Not To Come" by Tom Jones and the Stereophonics. In December 2006, he returned to the London stage in Michael Grandage's productionDon Juan In Sohoat the Donmar Warehouse (run ended 10 February 2007). He had appeared previously at the Donmar in 2003'sAccidental Death Of An Anarchist. Earlier stage work includesHamletat Theatre Clwyd,A Midsummer Night's Dreamat the Regent's Park Theatre andUnder Milk WoodandVolponeat the Royal National Theatre. On 16 July 2007, he received an Honorary Fellowship from Bangor University in north Wales, for services to the [11] film industry. Since 2007 Ifans has sung with Welsh psychedelic rock band The Peth (Peth is Welsh for `Thing'), featuring Super Furry Animals' Dafydd Ieuan, which played a number of concert dates in South Wales and in London in the autumn of 2008. The band played its first date outside London or Wales on 28 September 2008 at the Southampton Soul Cellar. Ifans revealed onFriday Night with Jonathan Ross, on 27 March 2009, that he is appearing inHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows–Part 1. He played Xenophillius Lovegood, editor of the wizarding magazine the Quibbler and father of the eccentric Luna Lovegood. In that same interview, he also stated that he would be playing the title role in Mr Nice, based on the life of Howard Marks who was released from prison for helping illiterate criminals to read and write, so they could get an education behind bars. He played a villain inNanny McPhee and the Big Bang, which also starred Emma Thompson and Maggie Gyllenhaal. On October 11, 2010, the Associated Press confirmed that Ifans would portray the villain in the nextSpider-Man [12] movie, with the villain being revealed as The Lizard a few days later.

Augustis a 1996 film starring Anthony Hopkins as Ieuan (pronounced Yie-yahn) Davies, and featuring Rhys Ifans in a small role in one of his earliest films as Griffiths. It is an adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, with Ieuan taking over the title role. The film was Hopkins's first feature film with a full cast (he had previously directed the one-man-performance of Dylan Thomas: Return Journey in 1990); his next directorial effort would be Slipstream (2007 film) in 2007, which he also wrote and for which he also composed the score.

Adaptation and issues The film adapts Uncle Vanya to a turn-of-the-century Welsh setting, emphasizing the hardships of Welsh industrial life in the slate quarries and Welsh-English turmoil as an English professor upsets normal Welsh life when he arrives at the Welsh estate which acts as his vacation home (at one point Ieuan states that he feels that he has been cheated by the Prof. Blathwaite, just as "the English have always cheated the Welsh").

Language It is primarily in English, with a few lines in Welsh here or there - such asdiolch yn fawr iawn("thank you very much"),cariad(a term of endearment, meaning "love"), andiechyd da("cheers").
