41. Performance - Interview With Ben Kingsley Focusing on his role as Feste the Clown in Trevor Nunn's film adaptation of Twelfth Night. http://desires.com/2.5/Performance/Kingsley/kingsley.html

UD : Tell us about the character of Feste, the clown. BK : He is an outsider, a wanderer. He's a musician, and he's a very funny man. And like many musicians and funny men, he has his dark side. His powers of observation are very acute. He can probably walk into any room and within seconds know how to play the room because of the various flaws, arrogances, and bits of narcissism that are in that room. Then he'd do his shtick and leave, but the room would be in turmoil because he will have unmasked everyone in that room. You see, "clown" in Shakespeare's language means "brilliant guy who's allowed to say whatever he likes in order to provoke people into thinking about themselves." But that's a rather long title. So Shakespeare just put "clown." UD : I loved the contrast between Feste's linguistic fireworks and the extraordinarily quiet and intense internalization you brought to them. It's not necessarily the obvious acting choice for that kind of role... BK : Gosh, I'm delighted that that's your response. I was hoping to inject into Feste something Shamanistic. And I think there is something Shamanistic about Feste, even I don't know what it is. But he seems to have been given by the author more than his fair share of knowledge about what's going on. UD : Some critics bring up the subject of feminism with regard to Twelfth Night. In terms of the character Viola, do you see Shakespeare as a feminist?

Ben Kingsley "People think if you play a man like Gandhi, somehow it rubs off on you," said Ben Kingsley of his Oscar-winning role. "They were convinced I must have evolved spiritually when I did that film. I didn't. I worked my socks off, learned my lines, lost a lot a lot of weight and acquired probably the most eccentric set of mannerisms ever seen on screen. I had no time to evolve spiritually." Obviously not. His next two Oscar nominations came for portrayals of psychopathic gangsters in 1991's Bugsy and, a decade later, Sexy Beast . But then, probably because of his eclectic Russian-Jewish/Indian background, Ben has always been something of a chameleon. Apart from playing prophets and gangsters he's taken on, among others, the composer Shostokovitch, Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, Russian revolutionary Lenin, and the fictional demon-barber Sweeney Todd. Born Krishna Bhanji in Snaiton, northern England, in 1943, the boy who would become Ben Kingsley was raised in Salford by his physician father Rahimtulla Harji Bhanji and his fashion model mother Anna Lyna Mary. After being turned down by the prestigious London acting school RADA in 1965, Ben spent two years plying his trade in the English provinces before returning to London in 1967 on being invited to join the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC).

UK gangster film Sexy Beast propelled him back into the cinema limelight, almost 20 years after the release of the movie which won him an Oscar - Gandhi. He was born Krishna Bhanji near Scarborough, to a Ugandan Asian doctor and an English-born actress. Aged 19, he finally decided to follow in his mother's footsteps after seeing Ian Holm play Richard III with the Royal Shakespeare Company. He adopted the name Ben Kingsley after his father said he would only make it in cinema if he had an English name. Recording contract Sir Ben started work as a laboratory technician, doing amateur dramatics in his spare time, and later turned down the chance of pop stardom when Beatles manager Brian Epstein offered him a recording contract after seeing him in a musical. Sir Ben took an early role in Coronation Street Sir Ben stuck with acting, joining the Coronation Street cast in 1966, where he played Ron Jenkins, who was involved with Ken Barlow's first wife Val.

What's Cooking PANORAMA: 1996 Ben Kingsley: aka Krishna Bhanji by Michael David Krishna Bhanji was born in Yorkshire, England, on the final day of 1943. His mother, Anna, was an actress, and he grew up in Manchester where his father, Rahimtulla Harji Bhanji, a Kenyan Asian doctor had set up in practice. Later, when Dr Bhanji heard his teenage son wanted to be an actor, he suggested that Krishna change his name his father's nickname - Ben - adding wisely: "If you want an acting career you had better get an English name". A visit to the Royal Shakespeare Company to see Ian Holm's tremendous performance in "Richard III" sealed young Krishna's decision and helped his transformation to the actor known everywhere now as Ben Kingsley. Ben Kingsley, among the most respected and talented actors of the cinema today, is perhaps best remembered for his Oscar-winning role in "Gandhi". He plays the title role in "Moses" and the Fool in "Twelfth Night" in two new films. Enlightening Roles Kingsley's acceptance into the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in 1967 was the foundation for a career that is as impressive in the theatre - if perhaps less visible - as it is on film. But it is on the big screen that he has made his biggest impact. His first major film, "Gandhi", in 1982, proved to be the catalyst for his undoubted talents. His preparation for the part is well documented.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) Sir Ben Kingsley doesn't look like he can be just anybody and maybe that's his secret. His face is too distinctive, his carriage too commanding, to be an Everyman disappearing into the crowd. In person he's polished and authoritative, even in the casual dress of a pinkish striped shirt and jeans. In a December interview in Atlanta with co-star Shohreh Aghdashloo for their film "House of Sand and Fog," Kingsley, 60, speaks in elegant, thoughtful sentences, dissecting characters, culture and his profession, not dominating the room of reporters but effortlessly holding their attention nonetheless. Yet he is the same man who can be just about anybody. He was the brutal killer Don Logan in "Sexy Beast"; the mousy but noble bookkeeper Itzhak Stern in "Schindler's List"; the slick, malevolent cybermillionaire Cosmo in "Sneakers"; Sherlock Holmes' companion Dr. Watson in "Without a Clue"; and, of course, Mahatma Gandhi in "Gandhi," for which he won an Oscar for best actor.
