He went on to star in Steven Spielberg's "Schindler List", establishing his position in Hollywood. He has since starred in a number of films, not least of which has been in the Harry Potter series as the evil Lord Voldermort, and is quoted as saying, "When children were introduced to Lord Voldemort, they looked suitably terrified. Which gave me great gratification."
