The Film: Brody was hailed for his powerful performance as a desperate survivor during the German invasion of Poland, narrowly escaping the Jewish concentration camps on multiple occasions. The sheer raw imagery of the film and the boundless depths of dramatic ability of Brody forced the world to sit up and take notice of the New York native. At only 29, Adrian Brody became, and still is, the youngest person in the Oscars illustrious 88 year history to win the Academy Award for Best Actor. The film, and Brody himself, were nominated an incredible 56 times during the awards season, cementing it as one of the great cinematic pieces of it's era. What Happened Next: With the world at his feet, Brody crashed and burned under the pressure, unable to live up to the impossible standards set by himself and his peers as being touted the next star of a generation. His next film Dummy (that was released in 2003), saw him take the role of a socially awkward ventriloquist. Not quite the career launching follow up he would have hoped for. The Pianist created a level of performance that Brody simply could not follow up, indirectly causing his career to slip away into obscurity. What Now: Brody's career has since jumped around all the way from Diet Coke and Schweppes commercials, to co-starring in a Jackie Chan film called Dragon Blade, described as 'a Chinese-Hong Kong historical action film'.
