John Cusack Biography

In 1983, John Cusack made his first feature film appearance in the teen comedy "Class." His quirky, self-effacing humor earned him roles in numerous films throughout the '80s, including "Sixteen Candles" and "Better Off Dead." Although he began to emerge as an actor during the heyday of the Brat Pack, and appeared in a number of teen movies, he managed to avoid falling into its pigeonhole. In 1989, he starred in Cameron Crowe's classic "Say Anything" as Lloyd Dobler, the role that Cusack has said is most like himself. His performance confirmed his ability to carry a film, and better offers began to role in.

In 1990, he won his first adult role in "The Grifters," where he played a small-time hustler caught between the attention of two rival women. In 1997, after a series of dramatic and comedic roles in the mid-'90s, Cusack co-produced, co-wrote and starred in "Grosse Point Blank" opposite Minnie Driver. The darkly comedic film received wide critical acclaim.

Other Cusack films have included "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," "Pushing Tin" and "Being John Malkovich." In 2000, he co-produced and starred in the winning adaptation of Nick Hornby's cult novel "High Fidelity." In 2001, he appeared in romantic comedies "Serendipity" and "America's Sweethearts." Cusack received stronger feedback for his 2003 horror film "Identity." He starred in the horror film "1408," based on Stephen King's short story, appeared in the Iraq War-themed drama "Grace Is Gone" and also starred in the dark political satire, "War, Inc."

His sister Joan Cusack and close friend Jeremy Piven have appeared in many of his films.

Cusack was next seen in Roland Emmerich's disaster film "2012." In 2010, Cusack starred in "Hot Tub Time Machine," opposite Rob Corddry, Clark Duke and Craig Robinson. In the 2012 thriller film "The Raven," Cusack portrayed Edgar Allan Poe. In July 2013, Cusack joined the production of David Cronenbergs "Maps to the Stars," which is described as dark comic look at Hollywood excess. As of 2013, Cusack is also set to play Beach Boys founding member, Brian Wilson in the upcoming biopic, "Love and Mercy."

Cusack is the founder and owner of New Crime Productions.
