Actor Ralph Fiennes found himself being typecasted as a villainous character in a lot of films. It started with the movie – Schindler's List, and he followed it up with his roles in movies like – The English Patient, The Constant Gardener, and Coriolanus. After he portrayed the role of none other than Lord Voldemort, the biggest and the darkest villain of all, the audience was not ready to see him perform any other role. But Raph Fiennes broke out of this notion when he worked in the film – The Grand Budapest Hotel, where he portrayed the role of a concierge, who is quirky, charming, witty, and humorous. Thus he managed to move out of dark roles and embrace comedy.
