Peter Seamus O'Toole (August 2, 1932 – December 14, 2013) was a British-Irish actor. He attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and began working in the theatre, gaining recognition as a Shakespearean actor at the Bristol Old Vic and with the English Stage Company. In 1959 he made his West End debut in The Long and the Short and the Tall, and played the title role in Hamlet in the National Theatre's first production in 1963. Excelling on the London stage, O'Toole was known for his "hellraiser" lifestyle off it. Making his film debut in 1959, O'Toole achieved international recognition playing T. E. Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia (1962) for which he received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. He was nominated for this award another seven times – for playing King Henry II in both Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968), Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1969), The Ruling Class (1972), The Stunt Man (1980), My Favorite Year (1982), and Venus (2006) – and holds the record for the most Oscar nominations for acting without a win (tied with Glenn Close). In 2002, he was awarded the Academy Honorary Award for his career achievements. O'Toole was the recipient of four Golden Globe Awards, one BAFTA Award for Best British Actor and one Primetime Emmy Award. Other performances include What's New Pussycat? (1965), How to Steal a Million (1966), Supergirl (1984), and minor roles in The Last Emperor (1987) and Troy (2004). He also voiced Anton Ego, the restaurant critic in Pixar's Ratatouille (2007).
After the events of the first movie, by law because of rats in the kitchen, Gusteau's restaurant was closed down and top food critic, Anton Ego, lost his job for knowing about the rats and not saying anything. But thankfully, for the other things that he did, Skinner was thrown in jail and was never seen again. Ego may have lost his job, but he's now happier than ever, now that he has a new job and is a regular customer at a bistro called "La Ratatouille." Remy the rat is finally living the life he always dreamt of having, as a gourmet chef. Also, Linguini and Collette are getting married. After his dad died of old age, Remy is now the new leader of the colony, and he has found a love interest. A rat named Gigi with a pink tint on her fur. But Gigi is really uncomfortable with the idea of rats being cooks. Also, a rival of Ego, who was France's second top food critic until Ego got fired, is threatening to close down the bistro. He's one of those respectable figures who kind of gives restaurants a hard time... For FUN! He likes to be unfair. Will La Ratatouille survive? Will Linguini and Collette's wedding not end in disaster? Will Remy and Gigi end up together? If there's one thing everyone should remember, it's something that the late Chef Auguste Gusteau used to say: "Anyone can cook, but only the fearless can be great."
