Ralph Fiennes portrayed Lord Voldemort with icy menace, making him one of the most unforgettable villains for an entire generation. His performance captured the fear and power behind “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named,” bringing J.K. Rowling’s darkest character vividly to life.

Outside of Harry Potter, Fiennes is celebrated for roles in Schindler’s List and The English Patient, among many others. His full name—Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes—is almost as dramatic as his filmography, which also includes In Bruges and The Grand Budapest Hotel.
