	Geoffrey Rush \| Biography (born 1951)
		A native of Queensland, Rush was born in Toowoomba on July 6, 1951.
		At this point audiences in the know were indeed well aware of Rush's versitility, and any actor able to move from the campy, big budget B-horror to the Oscar nominated art-house antics of Quills had little need to prove himself to either critics or audiences.
		Whether appearing in such deadly serious independent drama as Frida or wide release cotton candy as The Banger Sisters, Rush was never anything less than fascinating to watch and his enthusiasm for his craft always managed to shine through into his performances.

		But ''Quills,'' adapted by Doug Wright from his 1995 play, is less a history lesson than a morality tale, and it calls for an actor who can dance on the razor's edge between charm and menace, genius and madness.

		And Rush leaves nothing to spare in his performance, whether he's being playful with Madeleine, the laundress (Kate Winslet), or cruel with his estranged wife (Rush's own spouse, Jane Menelaus) or diabolical in his mocking of the asylum's head doctor (Michael Caine).
