Fry made is film debut in 1985 in The Good Father. Portraying Oscar Wilde (a man of whom he had been a fan since the age of 13) in the 1997 film Wilde, he fulfilled to critical acclaim a role that he has said he was “born to play”. In 2003, Fry made his directorial debut with Bright Young Things, adapted by himself from Evelyn Waugh’s Vile Bodies. In 2001, he began hosting the BAFTA Film Awards, a role from which he stepped down in 2006.

Fry continues to make regular film appearances, notably in treatments of literary cult classics.
