Geoffrey Rush News

I had originally planned to watch Quills and review it for Supernatural Saturday Night.

Almost a year after the film reigned supreme at the Oscars, The King's Speech has finally made it to the stage.

The premise of this most charming film is that William Shakespeare as a young man is a bit of a scoundrel who needs a lover to be his muse.

William Shakespeare is on a cold streak. Not only is he writing for Philip Henslowe , owner of "The Rose," a theatre whose doors are about to be closed by sadistic creditors, but he's got a nasty case of writer's block.

THE Australian of the Year, Geoffrey Rush, last night backed government moves to teach the history of Aboriginal Australia as part of Australia Day.

It's a good start to the year for Geoffrey Rush. The actor was awarded Australian of the Year for 2012 in the country's capital Canberra for his contribution to the arts.

Rush was raised in a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In 1968 he joined a theatre troupe attached to the University of Queensland in Brisbane and enrolled at the university the next year.

He already has a mantelpiece brimming with awards and now Geoffrey Rush has to make space for a new one - Australian of the Year.

One of Australia's most decorated actors has added 2012 Australian of the Year to the list of his awards.

He's won the world's top acting awards and starred alongside some of the industry's biggest names, but Geoffrey Rush is in line for his biggest accolade yet.

As a revenue stream, the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series is almost untouchable.
