Adrien Brody is another one of those actors that has the artistic range and truly cares about his craft. He won an Oscar in 2003 for his performance in The Pianist for Best Actor and violated our hopeful soon to be bride in Halle Berry while accepting his award. Despite having the nose of a toucan, Brody has starred in films like Houdini, Manolete, Cadillac Records, The Jacket, the updated King Kong, Predators, Splice, The Experiment, and so many more.
Even though Adrien Brody is a strange and unique looking man it hasn't stopped him from having a rather notorious doppelganger himself by the name of philosopher, John Locke. Locke is often referred to as the 'Father of Liberalism' and supposedly curated the theory of self-identity and knowledge of self which many revolutionists throughout history have referenced through their own movements. Honestly, sharing the looks of such a liberated thinker isn't that bad even if you do have the nose of a tropical bird-like Adrien Brody.
