# John Malkovich

> He's the actor whose name became the title of a movie about wanting to be him — which tells you something about the singular, unplaceable quality he brings to a room. Malkovich doesn't disappear into roles so much as bend them into his orbit: cold, precise, faintly menacing even when playing the hero.

## Bio

Malkovich started as a charter member of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 1976, moving to New York four years later for a Steppenwolf production of Sam Shepard's True West. His Broadway debut came in 1984 as Biff in Death of a Salesman, the role that later won him an Emmy when he reprised it for television in 1985. That same year he earned his first Academy Award nomination for Places in the Heart; a second followed in 1993 for In the Line of Fire. The through-line runs from Dangerous Liaisons to Con Air to Being John Malkovich in 1999, a film that made his own persona the premise. He's since produced Ghost World, Juno, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and continued acting across film and television — Herman Mankiewicz, Charles Talleyrand, a pirate captain, a tech mogul, a general in space. The range is wide, but the texture stays unmistakable.
