Short biography: Born in 1962 in Suffolk, England to photographer Mark Fiennes and novelist Jennifer Lash, Ralph Fiennes is a cousin of the famous adventure Sir Ranulph Fiennes and an eighth cousin of the Prince of Wales. The eldest of six children, he was raised a Roman Catholic. The actor Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love, Luther) is his brother. His sister Martha works as a director (in her film Onegin, he acted the title role). The Fiennes family moved to Ireland in 1973, living in West Cork and County Kilkenny for some years, where Fiennes and his siblings were home-schooled. They moved to Salisbury in England where Ralph finished his schooling before attending Chelsea College of Art. He then trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988. He is the only actor ever to have won a Tony Award for playing Hamlet on Broadway. In 2001, Fiennes received the William Shakespeare Award from the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C.
