Adrien Brody delivered one of the most splendid performances of his acting career in The Pianist, directed by Roman Polanski, that fetched him an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2003 at the age of just 29. His powerful portrayal of Władysław Szpilman, a struggling Jewish pianist, set against the backdrop of the Holocaust, earned him widespread acclaim from the audience. His other remarkable roles came in The Darjeeling Limited, The Brutalist, and others.
