**LOS ANGELES** – Acclaimed actor Guy Pearce, known for his roles in films like *L.A. Confidential*, *Memento*, *The Hurt Locker*, and *The King’s Speech*, is finally receiving recognition for an Academy Award, a feat that has eluded him despite a long and distinguished career. Pearce’s powerful supporting role in Barry Corbet’s *The Brutalist* has earned him Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nominations, and strong anticipation for an Oscar nod.
In a new interview for Deadline’s “The Actor’s Side” video series, Pearce reveals his surprisingly relaxed attitude towards awards. He emphasizes his dedication to his craft, stating, “All I want to do is work and get better.” This dedication is evident in a career spanning iconic roles such as a drag queen in *The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert*, Houdini, Scrooge, Andy Warhol, and collaborations with directors Ridley Scott, Christopher Nolan, and Kathryn Bigelow. His upcoming projects include roles in the Cannes competition film *The Shrouds* and five other films slated for release in 2024 alone.
Despite his impressive filmography, which includes an Emmy win for *Mildred Pierce* and a role in the Emmy-winning *Mare of Easttown*, Pearce humbly reflects on his journey and the complexities of his role in *The Brutalist*. The full interview, offering a deeper look into Pearce’s perspective and experiences, can be viewed on Deadline’s website.
