Born in Suffolk in 1962, the son of a photographer and a novelist who encouraged all six of their children to be creative (his siblings now include a director, a producer, a musician, and Joseph Fiennes). Ralph (it is, of course, pronounced "Rafe", and indeed the original spelling, Raph, is sometimes still used) trained at RADA and was an excellent Shakesperean actor on stage before appearing with Juliette Binoche in Wuthering Heights. International stardom followed with Schindler's List, and since then he has thoughtfully applied his smouldering charisma to various serious, meaty roles, his only blip being The Avengers in 1998. Was married to ER's Alex Kingston.
