JEFF GOLDBLUM - IAN MALCOLM |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In his best performances, the quirky, lanky Goldblum combines relaxed, naturalistic dialogue delivery with impeccable comic timing. But he just as easily slips into excessively mannered characterizations that can be off-putting, which may explain why he's not considered "box office." Following a small but memorable part as a violent thug in the original Death Wish (1974), he won small but noticeable roles from Robert Altman in California Split (1974) and Nashville (1975). He had a showy bit part in Annie Hall (1977, uttering the memorable line, "I forgot my mantra"), and a strong supporting role in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). He costarred with Ben Vereen in the well-received (but poorly rated) 1980 TV series created by Stephen J. Cannell, "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe." Audience recognition finally came with his performance as the "People" magazine reporter in Lawrence Kasdan's The Big Chill (1983). He costarred in the cult favorite The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984) and had his first starring role (opposite Michelle Pfeiffer) in John Landis' Into the Night (1985). His casting in The Fly (1986) proved to be inspired, as his intensity perfectly suited the role of a scientist who goes too far in his experiments. His costar in the film was his then-wife, Geena Davis, with whom he also appeared in the disappointing Transylvania 6-5000 (1985) and Earth Girls Are Easy (1989)-the couple has since divorced. Goldblum has recently been active abroad, in The Mad Monkey, The Tall Guy (both 1989), Mister Frost (1990), and The Favor, The Watch, and the Very Big Fish (1991). He returned to the mainstream as the wisecracking mathematician in the megahit Jurassic Park (1993) and followed in Hideaway and Nine Months (both 1995). |

KEANU REEVES - JACK THORNE |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
One of the most inscrutable actors to ever hit it big, Keanu Reeves has been by turns adored, reviled, and grudgingly respected by the movie-going public. As the controversy over his talent rages on, his career choices and paychecks show him inching toward A-list status.
Reeves, whose first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian, was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1964. His mother, Patricia, was a showgirl; his father, Samuel Nowlin Reeves, a geologist. After their marriage dissolved, Keanu moved with his mother and younger sister Kim to New York City, then Toronto. Stepfather #1 was Paul Aaron, a stage and film director--he and Patricia divorced within a year, after which she went on to marry (and divorce) rock promoter Robert Miller and hair salon owner Jack Bond. Reeves never reconnected with his biological father, who is now in prison on charges of cocaine possession.
In high school, Reeves was lukewarm toward academics but took a keen interest in ice hockey (as team goalie, he earned the nickname "The Wall") and drama. He eventually dropped out of school to pursue an acting career. After a few stage gigs and a handful of made-for-TV movies, he scored a supporting role in the Rob Lowe hockey flick Youngblood (1986), which was filmed in Canada. Shortly after the production wrapped, Reeves packed his bags and headed for Hollywood. Reeves popped up on critics' radar with his performance in the dark adolescent drama River's Edge (1986), but his first popular success was the role of totally rad dude Ted Logan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989). The wacky time-travel movie became something of a cultural phenomenon, and audiences would forever confuse Reeves's real-life persona with that of his doofy on-screen counterpart.
Over the next few years, Reeves tried to shake the Ted stigma with a series of highbrow projects. He played a slumming rich boy opposite River Phoenix's narcoleptic male hustler in My Own Private Idaho (1991), an unlucky lawyer who stumbles into the vampire's lair in Dracula (1992), and Shakespearean party-pooper Don Jon in Much Ado About Nothing (1993). In 1994, the understated actor became a big-budget action star with the release of Speed (1994). Its success heralded an era of five years in which Reeves would alternate between largely unwatched small films, like Feeling Minnesota (1996) and Last Time I Committed Suicide, The (1997), and unwatched big films like Johnny Mnemonic (1995) and Chain Reaction (1996). After all this Reeves did the unthinkable and passed on the Speed sequel, but he struck box-office gold again a few years later with the Wachowski brothers' cyberadventure The Matrix (1999).
Despite his deadpan delivery style and reputation as an oaf, Reeves continues to reel in choice roles and fat paychecks. Whatever he knows, he's not telling the public--his self-deprecating interview tactics and mysterious private life provide little insight into his artistry. As far as Reeves is concerned, it seems, he's just a regular guy who rides a motorcycle, plays in a band (Dogstar), and shows up every now and then for a movie shoot. |

CHRISTINA RICCI - LAURIE HIDWAY |

Precocious, outspoken child-teen starlet of the 1990s, Christina Ricci was born in 1980 in Santa Monica, California, the youngest of 4 children of a lawyer father and realtor mother. She made her screen debut at the age of 9 in Mermaids (1990) in which she worked with Cher. Her breakthrough adult role was in Ice Storm, The (1997) in which she plays a nymphet who skillfully seduces 2 brothers. Candid and controversial, as well as a highly skilled actress, Christina was much in demand by film makers in the late 1990s. In 1999, at the age of 19, she directed and worked on the screenplay for the movie Asylum (1996). A compulsive talker and smoker who seems to have a new and refreshing view on every subject, the buxom Christina is becoming a top box office draw and seems to be destined for super-stardom in the new century. |

During this time, he also appeared on a daytime soap opera, _One Life To Live_ as Dr. Mark Toland from 1971-75. Moved with wife Kate Lardner, granddaughter of short-story writer/columnist Ring Lardner, and her two children from a previous marriage, to Los Angeles. There, he began to get some roles on television: _Charlie's Angels_ (pilot - 1976); _Smash-Up On Interstate 5_ (TV movie), 1976; and _The Amazing Howard Hughes_ (TV movie - 1977). In 1980, while working on the movie _Back Roads_ he met and fell in love with Kimberlea Cloughley, whom he later married. More roles in television, both on network and cable, stage and film amassed him a reputation as a strong, explosive, thoughtful actor, who could handle supporting as well as leading roles. He made his directorial debut in _The Good Old Boys_ (TNT, 1995) In addition to directing and starring in the film, he co-wrote the teleplay (with J.T. Allen). The film, based on Elmer Kelton's novel, is set in west Texas where Mr. Jones has strong family ties. Consequently, this story of a cowboy facing the end of an era has special meaning for him. |
