Rhys Ifans
| Biography |
At age 13, he changed his last name from Evans to Ifans, just to "be difficult and different". Rhys Ifans, a talented actor, started his career early. He joined a youth theatre with his younger brother, Llyr (also an accomplished actor).
Later, he studied at the Guildhall School (Welsh is Rhys' first language) and then worked at the National Theatre for 18 months, before being cast in Twin Town with his brother. His big break came from Notting Hill, where he played Spike, Hugh Grant's filthy roommate.
He's been in many other films, including Dancing at Lughnasa, August, The Replacements, Heart, and Rancid Aluminum, as well as doing extensive stage work and appearing on television shows like Night Shift and Spatz. For a more complete resume, check out the Filmography and Stage Work sections.
