With an impressive body of work spanning the course of three decades, John Cusack has evolved into one of Hollywood's most accomplished and respected actors of his generation, garnering both critical acclaim as well as prestigious accolades for his dramatic and comedic roles. Most recently, Cusack appeared in the WWII spy film "Fog of War," playing Robert, a conflicted intelligence officer navigating moral ambiguity during the war; "Detective Chinatown 1900," a historical Chinese blockbuster directed by Chen Sicheng and Dai Mo; and Chinese espionage thriller "Decoded," which focused on wartime code-breaking and intelligence. In 2020, Cusack was seen in Prime Video's SciFi series, "Utopia," in which he stars as Dr. Kevin Christie, a charismatic, media-savvy, and brilliant biotech mind who wants to change the world through science. "Utopia" is based on Dennis Kelly's British series of the same name and highly acclaimed author Gillian Flynn served as executive producer and showrunner. Cusack first gained the attention of audiences by starring in a number of 1980's film classics such as "The Sure Thing," "Say Anything" and "Sixteen Candles."

Jackson, Lee Daniels' drama, "The Paperboy," opposite Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron and Matthew McConaughey and in James McTeigue's independent thriller "The Raven," where he portrayed the infamous author, Edgar Allen Poe.
