My essay is about Peter O'Toole. He is best known for having a hot daughter named Plenty, but there isn't a lot of info about her so we'll focus on his accomplishments.
Peter was born in 1932 in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. As a kid he went to Catholic school, so he had the honor of being beat up by nuns. Sadly, budget cuts prevented them from correcting his left-handedness due to the lack of the right ruler.
Tired of drunk monastic women calling him a sissy, he was happy to be called up by the Royal Navy. If only they could have seen him as a radioman. Still, he wanted to be an actor, so he attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts as a Shakespearean actor. He would have attended a school in Dublin, but they didn't think he sounded Irish because he wasn't drinking enough.
Peter eventually made his magnificent tv debut as First Soldier in The Scarlet Pumpernickel. With this experience under his belt, he went on to his first film role, as First Trooper in The Savage Innocents. He got early Oscar buzz, but it was Kidnapped.
Peter used his success to beat out Marlon Brando for the role that defined Middle East relations. Lawrence of Arabia was a movie about Lawrence's attempts to get Obi Won to turn against one of Germany's allies. Luckily, the German's were defeated before they could get lightsabre technology. Sadly, Lawrence lost his life when his attempt to cross the desert led to a fatal meeting with Tusken Raiders.
Peter was nominated for an Oscar for his role, but he lost to a movie about bird-ocide. Peter bounced back and grabbed another nod for his role as Henry II in Becket, a wacky comedy about the drunkest arch-bishop (Richard Burton) in history. Still, this was no match for Rex Harrison's Higgins, and Rex triumphed in what the press called "The Battle of the Henrys." It just wasn't fair.
Later on in the sixties Peter faced many questions. "What's New Pussycat?" The answer certainly wasn't another Oscar lost for a role as Henry II, that's for sure. "How to steal a million?" Critics say that the answer to that is Casino Royale.
After several forgotten roles in a decade best forgotten, Peter wanted to get everybody's attention again. So what better way to do so than to star in Caligula. I'm not allowed to reveal Peter's psuedonym for this film or his best moments.
Peter was up for another two oscars in the early 80s, but all he ended up with was a rock in the middle of a wasteland. Losing 7 oscar nominations without a victory was a mystery, so to get to the bottom of everything, he took on the role of Sherlock Holmes in several movies. Despite getting into Sherlock's head, he couldn't deduce that he should have avoided Supergirl.
In his later years, people forgave Peter for his MacBeth performance and Peter was once again in the spotlight. People liked him in Troy, even if he was too old for Helen. Still, this led tol his most recent Oscar nomination when producers cast him in Venus, about a dirty old man lusting after a much younger woman. Once again he lost, but it was ok. If he had won, it would be like watching a bowler score a 299. Lately Peter has filmed a movie about a community who will aid Thomas Kinkade and inspire him into becoming a popular painter. Peter chose this film because he knew that anyone who could make Kinkade good could win any award.
Since Peter is Irish, we know that he likes to drink and he fights all the time. However he can't outdrink Richard Burton, and that's a secret shame that no one is suppose to know.
