Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones are reuniting in The Brutalist. Prior to starring in Brady Corbet's epic historical drama, Pearce and Jones topped the bill in Breathe In (2013). In the time since they last worked together, the two have put years on their respective careers, with Pearce adding titles like Iron Man 3 and Mary Queen of Scots to his filmography, while Jones put in career performances in The Theory of Everything and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Guy Pearce almost ed on the L.A. Confidential role that would cement his place in Hollywood history. Cast as the straight-laced detective Ed Exley in the neo-noir film, Pearce, whose breakout role in the Australian comedy The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert brought him international attention, delivered a performance that elevated the story of LAPD officers in 1950s Hollywood to an enduring legacy in American crime dramas. Despite his later success with films like Christopher Nolan's Memento, Pearce's path to the role was far from straightforward, marked by a near-rejection of Hollywood altogether.

Ridley Scott's Alien prequel Prometheus served as an unusual reunion between Charlize Theron and Guy Pearce after their 15-year-old post-apocalyptic survival thriller. Charlize Theron and Guy Pearce are two of the most talented actors currently working in Hollywood, and almost every movie they make is a hit. Despite their respective success, however, Pearce and Theron rarely work together, and there's almost no overlap between the best Charlize Theron movies and the best Guy Pearce movies. Prometheus is one of only two films they've ever collaborated on, and their roles in it were also much more memorable than their first collaboration.

Guy Pearce has been in the acting game since the 1980s and has appeared in many big-budget movies. The native of the United Kingdom is recognizable for having some of the most screen time in Iron Man 3 (2013) and the films Prometheus (2012) and Mary Queen of Scots (2018), as well. More recently, Pearce played Richard Ryan in the critically acclaimed HBO Max miniseries, Mare of Easttown (2021).
