The outspoken actor goes deep on ‘The Brutalist,’ using his platform to promote support for Palestine, and the real reason he hasn’t been in a Christopher Nolan movie since ‘Memento.’

Written and directed by Nolan, Memento stars Pearce as Leonard, a man struggling with short-term memory loss while trying to track down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The film also starred Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano.

Guy Pearce, known for his breakthrough performance in Christopher Nolan’s Memento (2000), revealed that he was originally considered for the role of Ra’s al Ghul in Batman Begins (2005). However, the role ultimately went to Liam Neeson due to behind-the-scenes decisions beyond Nolan’s control.
