Alfred Molina

About: Born in London on May 24, 1953, to a Spanish father and an Italian mother, Alfred Molina honed his acting skills in the Royal Shakespeare Company before debuting on the silver screen in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and getting his big break in Letter to Brezhnev (1986).Endlessly adaptable, Molina went on to play roles of far-ranging ethnic diversity, including an Iranian in Not Without My Daughter (1991), a Cuban in The Perez Family (1995) and a Mexican (famed painter Diego Rivera) in the biopic Frida (2002). Before taking on the part of multilimbed villain Dr. Otto Octavius (aka Dr. Octopus) in the blockbuster Spider-Man 2 (2004), Molina starred in the Broadway revival of "Fiddler on the Roof," which earned him a Tony nomination.A more recent role of note was as the cunning and secretive Bishop Aringarosa in Ron Howard's film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code (2006).
