Bio
Geoffrey Rush is an Australian actor who is one of 20 (as of June 2009) people to have won the "Triple Crown of Acting": an Academy Award, a Tony Award and an Emmy Award, and has also won the Golden Globe, the BAFTA, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Australian Film Institute awards.
Raised in Brisbane, Australia after his parents' split, Rush's early interest in theatre led to his 1971 stage debut in Wrong Side of the Moon with the Queensland Theatre Company.
Known for his classical work over the years, he scored an unexpected hit with his role as Snoopy in the musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown the following year.
A few years later he moved to France for studying but returned to his homeland within a short time and continued work as both actor and director with the Queensland stage group.
He moved to Melbourne in the early 1990s via Brisbane and Sydney and currently lives in the suburb of Camberwell, Victoria.
