John Malkovich Christopher (Illinois, EEUU)
09/12/1953

John Malkovich comenzó su carrera artística en el afamado Steppenwolf Theatre de Chicago, una prestigiosa compañía que él mismo fundó junto a su amigo y compañero Gary Sinise. Entre 1976 y 1982, Malkovich intervino como actor, director o escenógrafo en más de cincuenta montajes del Steppenwolf.
En los últimos tiempos hemos podido verle en Juana de Arco, de Luc Besson. El convento; , de Manoel de Oliveira; Más allá de las nubes, de Michelangelo Antonioni; El ogro, de Voker Schlondorff, o Retrato de una dama, de Jane Campion. Incluso ha encarnado una versión fantástica de sí mismo en Cómo ser John Malkovich, una curiosa película dirigida por Spike Jonze y protagonizada por John Cusack y Cameron Diaz.
Su último trabajo es Ajuste de cuentas, una comedia negra de los guionistas y directores Brian Koppelman y David Levien, en la que Malkovich comparte reparto con Dennis Hopper y Vin Diesel.

On December 9, 1953 John Gavin Malkovich was born to an environmentalist father, Dan, and a newspaper executive, Jo-anne in Charleston, Illinois. He was one of five children and reported to have been a moody child. He was prone to temper tantrum’s and as a result his siblings used to lock him out of the house during these episodes and yell “Mad dog” at him. Other than this oddity, his home life was well rounded and stable. In High School he had a weight problem which he liked by going on an all jello-diet until he had lost 70 pounds. All of this so he could join the football team. Upon graduating high school he attended Eastern Illinois University with the intention of following his father’s footsteps. His interest in girls, though, outweighed his motivation to attend class and as a result he spent more time in the drama department than in class. Even after the girl he was hanging with moved on, Malkovich remained fixated with drama. As a result, he transferred to Illinois State University which had a better drama program and remained there until 1976.
Malkovich’s career is marked by remarkable feats of energy followed by near collapse from the lime light. For example, in 1996 he appeared in five films and in 1997 he was only seen in one “Con Air”, and in 1998 he had two films followed by an astounding six in 1999. Of his most recent films, two have received the most attention “Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc” and “Being John Malkovich”. For over 20 years Malkovich’s portrayals have hit the hearts of fans and critics alike, but other than two nominations, he has yet to receive an Oscar though he has received a number of other awards for his theatre and film work. Currently, Malkovich shares his time between homes in Europe and the United States.
