Dirk Bogarde was one of the first actors to be taken under the wing of the prestigious The Rank Organization. This film production company worked hard for him to become a huge star. But what made Dirk Bogarde stand out from his other colleagues is that he wasn’t afraid to take on challenging and often dangerous roles.
He primarily worked in British films and is now remembered as an icon of British cinema. But he also spent time working in America and Europe and did some of his best work internationally. He grew up not having a particularly nice childhood – since he had to move around and often struggled to fit into his various schools.
But Dirk Bogarde’s life changed when he attended university. He took a small job working backstage in a theater as a tea boy. This was enough to get him noticed and he won a stand-in role in a play. Though an insignificant role, it was enough for him to want to pursue a career as an actor.
His good looks and charm were often enough for him to get work and offers came pouring in. But it’s his acting talent and choice of roles that have made Dirk Bogarde stand out. He wasn’t afraid to play a British ex-pat fighting against the Mau Mau in Simba – a controversial film to say the least. But perhaps even more controversial was his role as a Nazi officer in The Night Porter.
However challenging the role was, he wasn’t afraid to take it.
