...Schindler's List An unlikely, enigmatic hero -- a playboy industrialist -- rescues 1,100 Polish Jews from the Holocaust. In retelling this true story, Steven Spielberg's austere but monumental film re-creates, with chilling immediacy, a central horror of 20th century life and death.

He is divorced from actress Alex Kingston (ER) and has lived for a decade with actress Francesca Annis, 18 years his senior. He refuses to connect any dots between his roles and himself. And he rarely uses...
