In most film and television works, the most brilliant and most likely to impress the audience are the protagonists or villains.
After all, these two kinds of characters are generally the core of the story, not only have many scenes, but also the quality of their characters also determines the success or failure of the film.
However, the so-called flowers also need green leaves to foil.
Many times, there will also be some actors with excellent acting skills, even if they play supporting roles, they can make the audience unforgettable.
This is the so-called "golden supporting role".
When it comes to golden supporting roles, everyone may think of the old drama bones in Hong Kong, but in fact, every entertainment industry has this kind of actor.
The hollywood golden supporting actor mentioned this time is named Tilda Swinton, which is the bald-headed ancient mage in the Marvel Universe.
Tilda's origins, placed in the whole of Hollywood, are estimated to be unable to find a few.
She was part of Britain's most classical aristocracy, the Swinton family, descended from the ancient Anglo-Saxon.
The people in her family also belonged to the rank of knighthood in England.
Due to her aristocratic background, Tilda received a good education since she was a child, she was a classmate of Princess Diana, and studied hard, and after entering Cambridge University, almost every subject score was graded A.
Proper female school bully.
Tilda didn't really want to be an actress at first, and her relationship with theater came from college life.
At that time, Tilda majored in politics and society, and during a stage performance at the academy, Tilda started his next goal.
It has to be said that the prominent background is still of great help to Tilda.
After graduating from university, she went straight to the Royal Shakespeare Company, One of Britain's most prestigious theatre companies.
In it, Tilda was able to hone her acting skills and increase her experience in acting.
After 2 years, she officially began to enter the film and television industry.
At that time, she was 26 years old.
As we all know, female artists, unlike male artists, are largely limited by age, and this circle is always much friendlier to young girls than older women.
And when Tilda was young, did he have that "capital"?
The answer, of course, is yes.
Tilda Swindon is very tall, 179cm tall, tall and tall, and his appearance is also very good.
Coupled with the confident temperament cultivated since childhood, her whole aura is very strong.
Not to mention her background, it is really not difficult for her to rely on her appearance to eat.
However, after Tilda entered the industry, she honestly started small, first playing small roles in miniseries, then jumping to TV series, and then jumping to movies.
Accumulate experience step by step.
Relying on appearance is of course the fastest shortcut, but not everyone likes to use this method to achieve their own achievements.
By 1992, Tilda had received a crucial film in her career.
The movie is called Orlando, and the character she plays in it is very unique, a hermaphrodite character.
After starring in this film, Tilda was greatly shocked and inspired her to think about the phenomenon of hermaphroditism.
Of course, according to Tilda's later interview, she also said that although she was physiologically female, she had never rejected being a man in her heart.
There was even a time when I was a kid to think of myself as a boy.
At the same time, she also said that the film "Orlando" allowed her to further explore the possibilities of being an "actor".
She also set herself a goal, as an actor, to be able to play any role regardless of beauty, age, or even gender.
To this end, she abandoned all the idol baggage and aristocratic baggage.
Many artists in the entertainment industry, some do not like to play clowns, to maintain their beauty in front of the screen.
For example, Amanda Seyfried, one of Hollywood's four little flowers, once felt ugly because Camorra in "Guardians of the Galaxy" needed to turn herself green, so she refused Marvel's offer, and later regretted it.
There are also some artists who do not like to play villains or weak people, and must show how strong they are in front of the screen, they are the protagonists, and they and all sentient beings are ants in front of him.
For example, Van Diesel, the bald head, whether it is "Fast and Furious", "Extreme Agent" or "Blood Warrior", he has always played the role of the boss of the dragon, driving the best car, killing the worst people, and there must be all kinds of beautiful women around.
But for Tilda, these are all illusory.
Her credo was that I was an actor, so I could act anything, and as long as I could, I would act.
If I can't act, I try my best to make myself meet the requirements of the role and make myself able to act.
As for the specific type of character itself.
Is it a beautiful woman or an ugly crazy woman?
Is it a noble girl or a hippie?
Is it long hair fluttering or bald head?
Is it a man or a woman?
Is it the old man or the young man?
Is it an angel or a devil?
Is it a decent person or a villain?
Does it matter? No.
People who really regard acting as a profession, not a tool to make money, and people who really see acting as an art, will have their own pursuits.
Some people want to reach the limit in one type of role, such as Jason Statham who refuses to star in superhero movies because he doesn't like films with too many special effects.
He hopes that he can become the absolute benchmark of the industry in the tough guy action movies that he has personally played.
Tilda hopes to become a "thousand-faced man", a golden oil, plug-and-play actor.
Her own acting skills and appearance, coupled with the degree of dedication, there is no problem in playing the protagonist of any movie.
But in many film and television works, most of them are supporting roles, or supporting role villains.
However, even this is unforgettable for many people.
And her outstanding performance has also allowed her to receive a full 134 award nominations in her acting career, and indeed 46 awards.
It also includes the 80th Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress, the Oscars.
With Tilda's achievements, it is indeed appropriate to say that she is a golden supporting role in Hollywood, and it is well deserved.
But what is even more rare is that she can abandon all baggage for the sake of art and the profession of an actress, and completely devote her body and mind to it.
This attitude is not driven by interests, but only a person's resolute will to take the path he wants to take.
This is also the most commendable thing about this actress.
Although Tilda is now over sixty years old, there are still many films that follow.
It seems that this golden supporting role has not planned to rest yet.
