Early in his career, Brody had a hard time making a name for himself. He got parts in smaller movies that got good reviews but didn’t put him in the public eye.

His roles in “The Thin Red Line” (1998) and “Summer of Sam” (1999) earned him praise from critics, but it wasn’t until he played Polish Jew Wladyslaw Szpilman in “The Pianist” (2002, directed by Roman Polanski) that he became a star.

In the next movie, “The Village” by M. Night Shyamalan, he played Noah Percy, who was mentally ill. In “The Jacket,” Brody played a war veteran named Jack Stars who was traumatized by his experiences. In 2005, Brody was in Jack Driscoll’s remake of “King Kong.”

In 2009, he was in the movie “Splice,” and the next year, he was Royce in the movie “Predators.” In 2011, he played Salvador Dali in “Midnight in Paris” by Woody Allen.
