Džon Kjusak
                                                              26.6.1966. Ilinois



Džon Kjusak (John Cusack) rođen je 26. juna 1966. godine u Ilinoisu. Njegov otac je bio poznat filmski radnik u Ilinoisu, a rođena sestra čuvena glumica - Džoan Kjusak.

Džon je sa samo osam godina postao član jednog regionalnog pozorišta, a sa 12 godina, njegov glas je bio korišćen za snimanje velikog broja komercijalnih reklama u Americi. Prvo pojavljivanje u filmu Džon je imao sa 18 godina, u tinejdžerskom filmu "Odeljenje". Odličan nastup i odlična gluma u filmu obezbedili su mu uloge u nekoliko tinejdžerskih filmova snimljenih sredinom osamdesetih godina. Jedan od tih filmova bio je i "The Sure Thing", u kom je glumio Lojda Dablera, za čiji život Kjusak kaže da je najsličniji njegovom privatnom.

Prvu ulogu u netinejdžerskom filmu Kjusak je dobio 1990. godine u filmu "The Grifters", gde mu je partnerka bila Andželika Hjuston. Film je imao solidan komercijalni uspeh. Najveći projekat ovog glumca bio je film "Grosse Point Blank". U ovom filmu je, pored glavne uloge, učestvovao i kao koproducent i saradnik na scenariju. Film je doživeo solidan komercijalni uspeh i dve nominacije za Oskara.

Krajem devedesetih i početkom 21. veka, Kjusak je imao nekoliko uspešnih uloga od kojih se izdvajaju one u filmovima: "Bašta dobra i zla", "Biti Džon Malkovič", "Identitet" i "America's Sweethearts". Pokazalo se da je ovo glumac za sve žanrove. Komedije, horori, akcije, drame - svuda je dobijao najbolje kritike.

Sredinom 2003. godine preminuo mu je otac, koji mu je davao najveću podršku u glumi, od raka unutrašnjih organa.

Džon Kjusak jedan je od najtraženijih neženja u Americi. Živi u Los Anđelesu sa verenicom.

Džon Kjuzak dobio zvezdu na Bulevaru slavnih u Holivudu

Džon Kjuzak, poznat kao glumac za sve žanrove, dobio je zvezdu na Bulevaru slavnih u Holivudu. Poznati glumac je zvanično ušao u legendu okružen članovima porodice i prijateljima.

- Obožavam da radim sa glumcima, volim kada sam okružen njima, to su vesele duše - kazao je Kjuzak otkrivajući u utorak svoju zvezdu na čuvenom pločniku.
 
Na svečanosti su bili i njegova starija sestra Džoan Kjuzak, nezaboravna sekretarica iz filma "Zaposlena devojka", i glumci Džek Blejk, Den Akrojd i Bili Bob Torton.

- Ima nečeg magičnog u njemu - kazala je ponosna sestra Džoan.

Kako prenose američki mediji, 45-godišnji glumac je tokom svoje karijere igrao u raznim žanrovima od crne komedije, preko nezavisnih filmova do blokbastera.

Sarađivao je sa Vudi Alenom (Senke i magla, Pucnji iznad Brodveja), Terensom Malikom (Tanka crvena linija), Klintom Istvudom (Ponoć u bašti dobra i zla), Stivenom Frirsom (High Fidelity), a radio je i sa velikim Džonom Malkovičem u filmu "Biti Džon Malković" Spajka Džonsija.

Nakon epske avanture o globalnoj katastrofi "2012", Kjuzak se ove godine vraća sa dva ostvarenja o kojima se puno govori - trilerom "The Paperboy" u kojem mu je partnerka Nikol Kidman i "Gavran" (The Raven) u kojem glumi pisca Edgara Alana Poa.
