His roles have been as diverse as his talents, from a sturdy vice president in Dave to the scheming Fagin in Oliver Twist. In 1984, Kingsley was awarded the Padma Sri by Indira Gandhi and the government of India and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in the New Year's Eve Honors List 2001
Kingsley was seen in the animated film The Boxtrolls, and later this year will be seen in the epic film Exodus: Gods and Kings and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the third installment in the franchise, where he plays an Egyptian pharaoh on display in the museum who is revived by a magical tablet.
Kingsley was in production on Tut, a six-part miniseries for SpikeTV. Kingsley is also currently lending his voice to the Disney live-action take on The Jungle Book as "Bagheera," the stunning black panther.
Kingsley has completed production on six films; The Walk, Autobahn, Selfless, Learning to Drive, Our Robot Overlords and Life. He will also be seen in the upcoming Brooklyn Bridge, opposite Daniel Radcliffe and Brie Larson.
Kingsley was seen in the highly anticipated Marvel short film All Hail the King which has been described as an epilogue to Iron Man 3 and a possible prologue to Iron Man 4.

From roles in A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, "Brutus" in Julius Caesar and the title roles in Othello and Hamlet, among others, his more recent and diverse stage roles include those in The Country Wife, The Cherry Orchard, A Betrothal and Waiting for Godot.
