Interestingly, Brody experienced parallels between the process of acting and working in magic. “Not only did I have a fascination with magic,” Brody says, “but I had aspirations of becoming a magician when I was a boy.” Of his Emmy nom for the role, Brody says, “receiving recognition for a heroic figure in my life and for something as meaningful as magic for it to have led me into acting and then led me to ultimately play the key figure in that world is pretty remarkable.” “Not only did I have a fascination with magic, but I had aspirations of becoming a magician when I was a boy.” Growing up in Queens, Brody would put on his own magic shows as “The Amazing Adrien.”
In the case of his 2015 Emmy-nominated role in History’s Houdini, Brody had a genuine, personal passion for the fabled magician, having admired him since childhood.
As the youngest man ever to win a leading actor Academy Award (aged 29 for The Pianist, 2003), Adrien Brody has since then pretty much pleased himself when it came to choosing projects.
