Peter O'toole

2003 Emmy Nominated: Supporting actor, Hitler: The Rise Of Evil

Peter O'Toole is widely regarded as one of film's grandest stars and the elder statesman of classically trained actors. His major break came when he was given the role of T.E. Lawrence in David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia (1962), after Albert Finney turned down the role. His performance introduced him to US audiences and earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

After Lawrence of Arabia, O'Toole received six more nominations for the Best Actor Oscar but never won the award in competition. In 2003, the Academy honoured his body of work with their Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to film. O'Toole initially balked and wrote the academy a letter saying he was "still in the game" and would like more time to "win the lovely bugger outright". The academy informed him that they would bestow the award whether he wanted it or not and so in the end, O'Toole relented and reluctantly agreed to appear at the ceremony and pick up his Oscar.

Peter O'Toole is nominated for his supporting role in the CBS mini-series "Hitler: The Rise Of Evil".
