Biography
After his father died, when O'Connell was 18, he coped in part by engaging in self-destructive behavior, later commenting, "I didn't stop partying for like seven years." While living in Bristol during his 2009–10 run on Skins, O'Connell acquired a reputation in the tabloid media as a "party boy," a "bad boy," and a "bit of rough," regularly giving interviews while hung over. His childhood nickname "Jack the Lad"—meaning "a conspicuously self-assured, carefree, brash young man"—is tattooed on his arm. His troubled youth has influenced his work, resulting in him playing mainly delinquents for the first decade of his career, while his juvenile criminal record initially prevented him from being cast in Hollywood productions as he was unable to obtain a U.S. visa. By age 24, O'Connell had largely changed his lifestyle, saying, "I'm not trying to have the most fun I've ever had ever, anymore. That used to be the mentality every time I left the house." He has credited Angelina Jolie, who directed him in the 2014 drama Unbroken, with influencing his outlook, describing working with her as an intervention in his life.O'Connell has resided in east London since 2014.

Au début des années 1930, Reinhard Heydrich, militaire renvoyé de la Reichsmarine, rejoint le nazisme sur la suggestion de sa femme Lina. Il devient alors le bras droit du chef de la SS naissante, Heinrich Himmler. Celui-ci le nomme en 1939 à la tête du RSHA, l'organe principal de police secrète et judiciaire du Reich, dont l'une des sections est la célèbre Gestapo. Principal adjoint de Himmler, il est l’un des hommes les plus puissants du régime. En septembre 1941, Hitler lui donne en complément les attributions de vice-gouverneur de Bohême-Moravie, la partie occupée de la Tchécoslovaquie : pour cela, il a des bureaux à Prague où il règne en maître, car le gouverneur en titre Konstantin von Neurath est vieillissant et malade. Comme Heydrich est resté chef du RSHA, il a aussi pour mission de mener à son terme le plan déjà entamé d’extermination des Juifs d’Europe : la « solution finale de la question juive ».
