Guy Pearce was born in Cambridgeshire, England, on Oct. 5, 1967. When he was 3, his family moved to Geelong, Victoria, in Australia, where his father died in a plane crash five years later. Drawn to performing at an early age, by his teens, Pearce was acting in local theater and also won the Mr. Junior Victoria bodybuilding competition.With a role on the Australian soap "Neighbours," he became a teen idol and went on to stardom in Aussie TV and movies.
