History Creator / GeoffreyRush

* The narrator of ''Film/{{Minions}}'' (2016)

* LargeHam: Constantly gets roles which allow him to have fun (including [[EvilIsHammy villains]] such as [[Film/MysteryMen Casanova Frankenstein]] and [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Barbossa]], where it's proven Mr. Rush is the only man hammy enough to go [[HamToHamCombat head to head]] with Creator/JohnnyDepp).

* FakeBrit: Much like fellow Aussie Blanchett, so many of his famous roles are British that quite a few people doubtless think he is one.

* OneOfUs: Appeared in an episode of KathAndKim as Kel's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute, and rocked the part. And the requisite short-shorts.

* UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein in ''Series/{{Genius}}''

* LargeHam: Constantly gets roles which allow him to have fun (including [[EvilIsHammy villains]] such as [[Film/MysteryMen Casanova Frankenstein]] and [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Barbossa]], where it's proven Mr. Rush is the only man hammy enough to go [[HamToHamCombat head to head]] with JohnnyDepp).

Also following were two additional Academy Award nominations, an Emmy, and a Tony, making him a rare winner of the Triple Crown of Acting. In 2012, he won the Australian of the Year award for his innumerable contributions to culture and the arts. Still not as good as a Grammy, though YMMV on that.

* EvilSoundsDeep: When He's playing Barbossa, his voice seems to get even raspier.

* LargeHam: Mr. Rush is the only man hammy enough to go [[HamToHamCombat head to head]] with JohnnyDepp in ''Pirates of the Carribean''.

Starting out on the stage in his native land, he made the move to Hollywood productions in the mid-1990s, making his reputation with his performance as troubled pianist David Helfgott in ''{{Film/Shine}}'', which won him the Oscar for Best Actor. A slew of roles in popular films followed, including ''Film/{{Elizabeth}}'' and its sequel (alongside fellow mid-1990s breakthrough Australian CateBlanchett), ''Film/ShakespeareInLove'', ''Film/{{Quills}}'', the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' films and ''Film/TheKingsSpeech''.

* LargeHam: Mr. Rush is the only man hammy enough to go [[HamToHamCombat head to head]] with JohnnyDepp in the ''Pirates'' films.
