ACTOR JOHN CUSACK TO VISIT TACOMA
Screening of beloved film with live Q&A
John Cusack, with an impressive career spanning three decades, has established himself as one of Hollywood's most accomplished and respected actors. Renowned for his versatility, Cusack has garnered critical acclaim and prestigious accolades for both his dramatic and comedic roles.
Recently, he starred in Amazon's Sci-Fi series Utopia as Dr. Kevin Christie, a brilliant biotech mind intent on changing the world through science. The series, based on Dennis Kelly’s British show and helmed by acclaimed author Gillian Flynn, highlights Cusack's continued relevance and adaptability in the industry.
Cusack first captivated audiences with his roles in 1980s classics such as The Sure Thing, Say Anything, and Sixteen Candles. Transitioning from his teen-heartthrob image, he expanded his repertoire with diverse performances in films like The Grifters, Eight Men Out, Being John Malkovich, High Fidelity, and Grosse Pointe Blank. These roles highlighted his range and ability to tackle various genres, solidifying his reputation as a versatile actor. His portrayal in High Fidelity earned him a Golden Globe nomination, where he also co-produced and co-wrote the screenplay, demonstrating his multifaceted talent.
Say Anything, a teen romantic comedy-drama movie written and directed by Cameron Crowe, sees Cusack in the role of Lloyd, an eternal optimist seeking to capture the heart of high school valedictorian Diane. The highly-regarded film includes scenes of Tacoma and Seattle, including local iconic landmark Bob’s Java Jive.
