Sir David Mark Rylance Waters (born 18 January 1960 in Ashford, Kent, England) is an English actor, theatre director, and playwright. He was the first artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe in London, between 1995 and 2005. His film appearances include Prospero's Books (1991), Angels and Insects (1995), Institute Benjamenta (1996), and Intimacy (2001). Rylance won the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Rudolf Abel in Bridge of Spies (2015). Rylance played the title role in Steven Spielberg's The BFG (2016), a live-action film adaptation of the children's book by Roald Dahl, and appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk (2017), based on the British evacuation in World War II. He appeared as James Halliday in Spielberg's 2018 film Ready Player One, based on the novel of the same name.
From a humble peanut farmer in rural Georgia to the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter rose to power on a promise of honesty and decency in the aftermath of Watergate. His tenure in the White House was marked by landmark achievements—the Camp David Accords, environmental protections, and a deep commitment to human rights—yet overshadowed by an economic crisis, energy shortages, and the Iran hostage situation. As political tides turn against him, Carter suffers a crushing defeat in 1980 to Ronald Reagan, leaving office as one of the most criticized presidents in modern history. But his story doesn’t end there. In the decades that follow, he redefines what it means to be a former president, becoming a champion for global peace, democracy, and humanitarian efforts—ultimately earning the Nobel Peace Prize and securing his place as one of America’s most respected elder statesmen.
