Jude Law and Pope Pius XIII
Jude Law, a seasoned actor since his teenage years, has delivered memorable performances in films like The Holiday and The Talented Mr. Ripley. However, it was his portrayal of Pope Pius XIII in the T.V. series The Young Pope (2016) that truly captivated audiences and solidified his 'iconic' status.
In The Young Pope, Law portrays a controversial figure who becomes the first American pope, but self-interest rather than the greater good drives his actions and decisions. Law's nuanced portrayal of Pope Pius XIII earned him critical acclaim and showcased his ability to delve into complex and morally ambiguous characters.
