Sir Ben Kingsley
When the movie Gandhi swept the Oscars 25 years ago, Ben Kingsley went from an unknown theater actor to an international movie star. Since then he’s played everyone from Moses to an Iranian Army colonel, to Lenin, even the Devil. Now, in the new film You Kill Me Kingsley plays an alcoholic hitman trying to clean up his act. Kurt talks to Sir Ben Kingsley about his staggeringly versatile career.
