Biography

Geoffrey Horne is a renowned American actor and acting teacher who has made a lasting impact in both the film and theatre industries. Born on August 22, 1933, in New York City, Horne grew up in a family of artists, with his mother being a talented ballet dancer and his father being a skilled painter.

From a young age, Horne developed a strong passion for acting, which led him to enroll in classes at the prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York City. He soon made his Broadway debut in 1952 in the play "The Happiest Millionaire" and caught the attention of acclaimed director Elia Kazan, who cast him in the iconic film "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (1957).

Horne's outstanding performance in "The Bridge on the River Kwai" earned him widespread critical acclaim, paving the way for more film roles, including "Bonjour Tristesse" (1958) and "Two Living, One Dead" (1961). He also continued to work in theatre, appearing in notable productions such as "The Caretaker" and "A View from the Bridge," among others.

In the 1960s, Horne relocated to Italy and began working in Italian cinema, starring in films like "Il Posto" (1961) and "La lunga notte del '43" (1960). He also had the privilege of studying with the legendary acting teacher Lee Strasberg and later went on to become an acting teacher himself, founding the HB Studio in Rome.

Throughout his illustrious career, Horne has continued to work in both film and theatre, and in 2007, he was honored with a lifetime achievement award by the Rome Film Fest. Today, he resides in Italy and remains dedicated to teaching the art of acting.

Geoffrey Horne's remarkable story serves as a testament to the importance of pursuing one's passions and taking risks to achieve success. His unwavering dedication to his craft and his willingness to explore new opportunities have made him a beloved figure in the world of acting and a respected teacher of the craft.
