This makes him the only actor that possesses the strange record of having appeared in two of the three most-awarded movies of all times (Titanic and Return of the King, both of which were awarded 11 Oscars) and the only two movies ever to earn more than one billion US dollars at box office. Interestingly, his birthdate coincides with Return of the Kings release date.
