Adrien Brody readily admits that the New York City he grew up in was rough around the edges. A native of Jackson Heights, Queens, he says the years he spent there in the '70s and '80s toughened him, but also made him empathetic&mdash;in other words, it gave him the ammunition he needed to become an actor. It wasn&rsquo;t long into Brody's career that minor successes became major ones. Early roles in&nbsp;Restaurant&nbsp;and&nbsp;Summer of Sam&nbsp;in the late 1990s led to Roman Polanski&rsquo;s&nbsp;The Pianist&nbsp;in 2002, a part that made the 29-year old the youngest to ever win the Academy Award for Best Actor.&nbsp;And while Brody&rsquo;s career hasn&rsquo;t slowed in the intervening decades, his latest performance, in&nbsp;The Brutalist, has drawn the same type of rare, unanimous acclaim that his breakthrough in&nbsp;The Pianist&nbsp;did. On this episode of&nbsp;Table for Two,&nbsp;Brody joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss what drew him to the performing arts, the mental toll of method acting, and his perspective on this year&rsquo;s Oscars, which take place March 2.
