John Joseph "Jack" Nicholson (born April 22, 1937) is an American actor, film director, producer and writer. He is renowned for his often dark portrayals of neurotic characters. Nicholson has been nominated for an Academy Award twelve times, and has won the Academy Award for Best Actor twice: for ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' and for ''As Good as It Gets''. He also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 1983 film ''Terms of Endearment''. He is tied with Walter Brennan for most acting wins by a male actor (three). Nicholson is well known for playing Jack Torrance in ''The Shining'' and the Joker in 1989's ''Batman'', among many other roles.

Nicholson is one of only two actors who has been nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every decade from the 1960s to 2000s (the other being Michael Caine). He has won seven Golden Globe Awards, and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. In 1994, he became one of the youngest actors to be awarded the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award. Notable films in which he has starred include, in chronological order, ''Easy Rider'', ''Five Easy Pieces'', ''Chinatown'', ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'', ''The Passenger'', ''The Shining'', ''Reds'', ''Terms of Endearment'', ''Batman'', ''A Few Good Men'', ''As Good as It Gets'', ''About Schmidt'' and ''The Departed''.

Early life

Nicholson was born in St. Vincent's Hospital in New York City, the son of a showgirl, June Frances Nicholson (stage name June Nilson). June had married Italian American showman Donald Furcillo (stage name Donald Rose) six months earlier in Elkton, Maryland, on October 16, 1936. Furcillo was already married. Although he reportedly offered to take care of the child, June's mother Ethel insisted that she bring up the baby, partly so that June could pursue her dancing career. Although Furcillo claimed to be Nicholson's father and to have committed bigamy by marrying June, biographer Patrick McGilligan asserted in ''Jack's Life'' that Latvian-born Eddie King (originally Edgar A. Kirschfeld), June's manager, may have been Nicholson's biological father. Other sources suggest June Nicholson was unsure of who the father was. Nicholson's mother was of Irish, English, and Dutch descent, though he and his family reportedly self-identified as Irish.

Nicholson was brought up believing that his grandparents, John Joseph Nicholson (a department store window dresser in Manasquan, New Jersey) and Ethel May (née Rhoads, a hairdresser, beautician and amateur artist in Manasquan), were his parents. Nicholson only discovered that his "parents" were actually his grandparents and his sister was in fact his mother in 1974, after a journalist for ''TIME'' magazine who was doing a feature on Nicholson informed him of the fact. By this time, both his mother and grandmother had died (in 1963 and 1970, respectively). Nicholson has stated he does not know who his biological father is, saying "Only Ethel and June knew and they never told anybody", and has chosen not to have a DNA test or to pursue the matter.

Nicholson grew up in Neptune City, New Jersey. He was raised in his mother's Roman Catholic religion. Before starting high school, his family moved to an apartment in Spring Lake, New Jersey. "Nick", as he was known to his high school friends, attended nearby Manasquan High School, where he was voted "class clown" by the Class of 1954. He was in detention every day for a whole school year. A theatre and a drama award at the school are named in his honor. In 2004, Nicholson attended his 50-year high school reunion accompanied by his aunt Lorraine.

Career

Early work

When Nicholson first came to Hollywood, he worked as a gofer for animation legends William Hanna and Joseph Barbera at the MGM cartoon studio. Seeing his talent as an artist, they offered Nicholson a starting level position as an animation artist. However, citing his desire to become an actor, he declined.

He made his film debut in a low-budget teen drama ''The Cry Baby Killer'', in 1958, playing the title role. For the following decade, Nicholson was a frequent collaborator with the film's producer, Roger Corman. Corman directed Nicholson on several occasions, most notably in ''The Little Shop of Horrors'', as masochistic dental patient Wilbur Force, and also in ''The Raven'', ''The Terror'', and ''The St. Valentine's Day Massacre''. He worked frequently with director Monte Hellman as well on low-budget westerns, though two in particular, ''Ride in the Whirlwind'' and ''The Shooting'', initially failed to find interest from any US film distributors but gained cult success on the art house circuit in France and were later sold to television.

Rise to fame

With his acting career heading nowhere, Nicholson seemed resigned to a career behind the camera as a writer/director. His first real taste of writing success was the LSD-fueled screenplay for the 1967 film, ''The Trip'' (directed by Corman), which starred Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. Nicholson also co-wrote, with Bob Rafelson, the movie ''Head'', which starred The Monkees. In addition, he also arranged the movie's soundtrack. However, after a spot opened up in Fonda and Hopper's ''Easy Rider'', it led to his first big acting break. Nicholson played hard-drinking lawyer George Hanson, for which he received his first Oscar nomination. The part of Hanson was a lucky break for Nicholson—the role had in fact been written for actor Rip Torn, who was a close friend of screen writer Terry Southern, but Torn withdrew from the project after a bitter argument with the film's director Dennis Hopper, during which the two men almost came to blows.

A Best Actor nomination came the following year for his persona-defining role in ''Five Easy Pieces'' (1970). Also that year, he appeared in the movie adaptation of ''On A Clear Day You Can See Forever'', although most of his performance was left on the cutting room floor. Jack was the first choice to play the role of Father Damien Karras in The Exorcist, but the role was turned over to Jason Miller.

Other Nicholson roles included Hal Ashby's ''The Last Detail'' (1973), for which he was awarded Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, and the classic Roman Polanski noir thriller, ''Chinatown'' (1974). Nicholson was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for both films. Nicholson was friends with the director long before the death of Polanski's wife, Sharon Tate, at the hands of the Manson Family, and supported him in the days following the deaths. After Tate's death, Nicholson began sleeping with a hammer under his pillow, and took breaks from work to attend the Manson trial. It was at Nicholson's home where the rape case for which Polanski was arrested occurred. Nicholson would go on to star in The Who's ''Tommy'' (1975), directed by Ken Russell, and Michelangelo Antonioni's ''The Passenger'' (1975).

Nicholson earned his first Best Actor Oscar for portraying Randle P. McMurphy in the movie adaptation of Ken Kesey's novel ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'', directed by Miloš Forman in 1975. His Oscar was matched when Louise Fletcher received the Best Actress Award for her portrayal of Nurse Ratched. After this, he began to take more unusual roles. He took a small role in ''The Last Tycoon'', opposite Robert De Niro. He took a less sympathetic role in Arthur Penn's western ''The Missouri Breaks'', specifically to work with Marlon Brando. He followed this by making his second directorial effort with the western comedy ''Goin' South''. His first movie as a director was a 1971 quirky release called ''Drive, He Said''.

Although he garnered no Academy Award for Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's ''The Shining'' (1980), it remains one of his more significant roles. His second Oscar, the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, came for his role of retired astronaut Garrett Breedlove in ''Terms of Endearment'' (1983), directed by James L. Brooks. Nicholson continued to work prolifically in the 80s, starring in such films as ''The Postman Always Rings Twice'' (1981), ''Reds'' (1981), ''Prizzi's Honor'' (1985), ''The Witches of Eastwick'' (1987), ''Broadcast News'' (1987), and ''Ironweed'' (1987). Three Oscar nominations also followed (''Reds'', ''Prizzi's Honor'', and ''Ironweed'').

Nicholson introduced several acts at Live Aid at the JFK Stadium in July 1985. He turned down the role of John Book in ''Witness''. The 1989 ''Batman'' movie, wherein Nicholson played the psychotic murderer and villain, The Joker, was an international smash hit, and a lucrative percentage deal earned Nicholson about $60 million. For his role as hot-headed Col. Nathan R. Jessep in ''A Few Good Men'' (1992), a movie about a murder in a U.S. Marine Corps unit, Nicholson received yet another Academy nomination. This film contained the court scene in which Nicholson famously explodes, "You can't handle the truth!", in one of the Aaron Sorkin-penned monologues to become part of popular culture.

In 1996, Nicholson collaborated once more with ''Batman'' director Tim Burton on ''Mars Attacks!'', pulling double duty as two contrasting characters, President James Dale and Las Vegas property developer Art Land. At first studio executives at Warner Bros. disliked the idea of killing off Nicholson's character, so Burton created two characters and killed them both off. Not all of Nicholson's performances have been well received. He was nominated for Razzie Awards as worst actor for ''Man Trouble'' (1992) and ''Hoffa'' (1992). However, Nicholson's performance in ''Hoffa'' also earned him a Golden Globe nomination.

Nicholson went on to win his next Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Melvin Udall, a mean-spirited, compulsive obsessive neurotic author in ''As Good as It Gets'' (1997), again directed by Brooks. His Oscar was matched with the Academy Award for Best Actress for Helen Hunt as a Manhattan waitress drawn into a love/hate friendship with Udall, a frequent diner in the restaurant in which she worked. In 2001, Nicholson was the first actor to receive the Stanislavsky Award at the Moscow International Film Festival for "conquering the heights of acting and faithfulness".

2002–present

In ''About Schmidt'' (2002), Nicholson portrayed a retired Omaha, Nebraska actuary who questions his own life following his wife's death. His quietly restrained performance earned him an Academy Award Nomination for Best Actor. In ''Anger Management'' (2003), he plays an aggressive therapist assigned to help overly pacifist Adam Sandler. In 2003, Nicholson also starred in ''Something's Gotta Give'', as an aging playboy who falls for the mother (Diane Keaton) of his young girlfriend.

In late 2006, Nicholson marked his return to the "dark side" as Frank Costello, a sadistic Boston Irish Mob boss presiding over Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's Oscar-winning ''The Departed'', a remake of Andrew Lau's ''Infernal Affairs''.

In November 2006, Nicholson began filming his next project, Rob Reiner's ''The Bucket List'', a role for which he shaved his head. The film starred Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as dying men who fulfill their list of goals. The film was released on December 25, 2007 (limited), and January 11, 2008 (wide). In researching the role, Nicholson visited a Los Angeles hospital to see how cancer patients coped with their illnesses. His last film role to date saw him reunite with ''Terms of Endearment'' and ''As Good as It Gets'' director James L. Brooks for a small supporting role as Paul Rudd's father in ''How Do You Know''.

Personal life

Family and relationships

Nicholson has been romantically linked to numerous actresses and models, including Michelle Phillips, Bebe Buell, and Lara Flynn Boyle. Nicholson's longest relationship was for 16 years with actress Anjelica Huston, daughter of film director John Huston, from 1973 to 1989. However, the relationship ended when the media reported that Rebecca Broussard had become pregnant with Nicholson's child. Nicholson and Broussard had two children together, Lorraine (born 1990) and Raymond Nicholson (born 1992). Nicholson's other children are Jennifer (born 1963 with Sandra Knight) and Honey Hollman (b. 1981 with Winnie Hollman). Actress Susan Anspach contends that her son, Caleb Goddard (born 1970), was fathered by Nicholson, though he is not convinced he is the father.

Celebrity friendships

Nicholson lived next door to Marlon Brando for a number of years on Mulholland Drive in Beverly Hills. Warren Beatty also lived nearby, earning the road the nickname "Bad Boy Drive". After Brando's death in 2004, Nicholson purchased his neighbor's bungalow for $6.1 million, with the purpose of having it demolished. Nicholson stated that it was done out of respect to Brando's legacy, as it had become too expensive to renovate the "derelict" building which was plagued by mold.

Nicholson shared a friendship with author-journalist Hunter S. Thompson, described in his autobiography "Kingdom of Fear" where, according to Thompson, they would exchange "bizarre" presents which resulted in a perceived assassination attempt against the actor. Thompson appeared outside his home on the night of Nicholson's birthday, having set off a high-powered spotlight and gunfire, playing a tape of animal cries through an amplifier to awaken him. He then left a freshly-cut elk's heart on his door as a joke before leaving when it appeared that nobody would exit the house. Following the death of Thompson in 2005, he and fellow actors Johnny Depp, John Cusack, and Sean Penn attended his private memorial service in Colorado.

Hobbies

Nicholson is a fan of the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Lakers. His attendance at Lakers games is legendary, as he is a season ticket holder since 1970 and has held courtside season tickets for the past 25 years at both The Forum and the Staples Center, missing very few games. In a few instances, Nicholson has engaged in arguments with game officials and opposing players, and has even walked onto the court. His ardent refusal to miss a Lakers home game means that studios are rumored to have to schedule filming around the Lakers home schedule although he disputed this claim in an interview with BBC radio in 2008.

Nicholson is a collector of twentieth century and contemporary art, including the work of Scottish artist Jack Vettriano.

Honors

Former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver announced on May 28, 2008, that Nicholson would be inducted into the California Hall of Fame, located at The California Museum for History, Women and the Arts. The induction ceremony took place on December 15, 2008, where he was inducted alongside 11 other legendary Californians.

In 2010, Nicholson was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame.

In 2011, Nicholson received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Brown University at its two hundred and forty-third commencement. At the ceremony Ruth Simmons, Brown University's president, called him, "the most skilled actor of our lifetime."

Academy Awards history

With twelve nominations (eight for Best Actor and four for Best Supporting Actor), Jack Nicholson is the most nominated male actor in Academy Awards history. Only Nicholson and Michael Caine have been nominated for an acting (lead or supporting) Academy Award in five different decades: 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. With three Oscar wins, he also ties with Walter Brennan for the second highest-number of Oscar wins in acting categories (all of Brennan's wins, however, were for Best Supporting Actor).

At the 79th Academy Awards, Nicholson had fully shaved his hair for his role in ''The Bucket List''. Those ceremonies represented the seventh time he has presented the Academy Award for Best Picture (1972, 1977, 1978, 1990, 1993, 2006, and 2007). Nicholson is an active and voting member of the Academy. During the last decade he has attended almost every ceremony, whether nominated or not, sitting in the front row.

Charles Matthew "Charlie" Hunnam (born 10 April 1980) is an English actor. He is perhaps best known to UK audiences as Pete Dunham in ''Green Street Hooligans'' and as Nathan Maloney in the Channel 4 hit drama ''Queer as Folk'' and to US audiences as Jackson "Jax" Teller in the FX network series, ''Sons of Anarchy''.

Life and career

Hunnam was born in Newcastle, England on 10 April 1980. He is the second oldest of four boys. Hunnam stated that growing up, his favorite actors have always been Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn.

Discovered while clowning around in a shoe shop by a production manager for the British Children's show ''Byker Grove'', Charlie Hunnam was cast in his first role as the long-locked child model "Jason" in three episodes of the show. His first major role came soon after as Nathan Maloney in the Channel 4 drama ''Queer as Folk'' (UK). He followed this up with his role as "Daz" in the British film ''Whatever Happened to Harold Smith?''. Upon completion of both projects, Hunnam relocated to Los Angeles, California to pursue his acting career.

His career, meanwhile, expanded to include a recurring role as Gregor Ryder in a TV Series for The WB Network called ''Young Americans''. He then appeared in the short-lived Fox series ''Undeclared'' as the British drama student Lloyd Haythe. The series was cancelled after only one season. Following ''Undeclared'', he appeared in ''Abandon'', ''Nicholas Nickleby'' (2002), and ''Cold Mountain''.

Hunnam has stated that he does not wish to simply take any role that he is offered: "I have 60 years to make the money, but the choices I make in the next five years are really going to define my career.". This decision resulted in his return to the United Kingdom to take the lead as Pete Dunham in ''Green Street'' (also known as ''Green Street Hooligans'', ''Hooligans'', and ''The Yank'').

Hunnam played the role of Patric, a member of "The Fishes", in ''Children of Men'' (2006) directed by Alfonso Cuarón. Hunnam states that this role was the final part in his "trilogy of mad men." "I played the psycho in ''Cold Mountain'', my character in ''Green Street'' is fairly psychotic and now I've got this role."

Hunnam currently stars as Jackson "Jax" Teller in the FX network series, ''Sons of Anarchy''. Hunnam's character "Jax" serves as the vice president of a prominent motorcycle club in a small California town.

Hunnam was voted ninth in ''Elle Girl'''s top 100 sexiest men in 2005.

In 2010, Hunnam is going to participate in both ''The Last Full Measure'', a film with Robert Duvall, Bruce Willis, and Morgan Freeman as well as ''The Ledge'', a layered love story with themes of religious faith co-starring Liv Tyler, Patrick Wilson, and Terrence Howard. In 2009, Hunnam sold his screenplay, ''Vlad'', to Summit Entertainment with Brad Pitt's Plan B Studios co-producing. The film is being directed by music video director and photographer Anthony Mandler and will focus on Dracula as a young prince.

Personal life

Upon his arrival in Los Angeles in 1999, Hunnam met and married actress Katharine Towne, the daughter of screenwriter Robert Towne and actress Julie Payne. They divorced in 2002. He currently has homes in Los Angeles, London, and Bolton.

birth name	Dan Trejo
birth date	May 16, 1944
birth place	Los Angeles, California
years active	1984–present
occupation	Actor
spouse	Debbie Shreve }}

Dan "Danny" Trejo (; born May 16, 1944) is a Mexican-American actor who has appeared in numerous Hollywood films, most notably in roles as an antagonist, or anti-hero.

Early life

Trejo was born Dan Trejo in Echo Park, California, a community in Los Angeles. He is the son of Alice Rivera and Dan Trejo, a construction worker. He is of Mexican descent. He is a second cousin of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, though the two were unaware that they were related until the filming of ''Desperado''. Trejo was raised in the Pacoima neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley. As a youth, he roamed the streets around his home area, committing various petty crimes with his uncle and eventually became addicted to heroin. He was arrested numerous times as an adolescent.

While on the streets Trejo developed talent as a boxer and considered taking it up as a profession. That ambition was dashed by a lengthy prison sentence. While serving time in San Quentin State Prison he became the California state prison champion in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions. During this time Trejo became a member of a twelve-step program which he credits with his success in overcoming drug addiction.

Career

While speaking at a recovery meeting in 1985 Trejo met a young man in the movie business. His newfound friend invited him to the set of ''Runaway Train'' where Trejo was offered a job as an extra. Edward Bunker, himself a former convict and well-respected crime author who was writing the screenplay for the film, recognized Trejo, with whom he had done time at San Quentin. It was widely misreported that Trejo was actually serving time in the prison while filming took place. Bunker remembered Trejo's boxing skills, and offered him $320 per day to train Eric Roberts, one of the movie's stars, for a boxing scene. Director Andrei Konchalovsky liked Trejo's work and decided to offer him a prominent role in the film.

Since then, Trejo has become a prolific actor in both films and television, acting alongside some of Hollywood's most famous actors, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage, Charles Bronson, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Val Kilmer, and Antonio Banderas. Trejo has often appeared in five or more movies per year in various genres. Major releases in which he has acted include ''Machete (film)'', ''Blood in Blood Out'', ''Animal Factory'', ''Bubble Boy'', ''Anaconda'', ''Marked for Death'', ''xXx'', ''Desperado'', ''Once Upon a Time in Mexico'', ''Heat'', ''From Dusk till Dawn'', ''Con Air'', ''Six Days Seven Nights'', ''Spy Kids'', '' The Replacement Killers'', ''Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy'', ''Predators'', ''Urban Justice'', ''The Devil's Rejects'', ''Valley of Angels'', ''Delta Farce'', ''Grindhouse'', ''Rob Zombie's Halloween'' and ''Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror''.

Trejo is known for his very distinctive appearance. In addition to his heavily lined face (usually sporting a long mustache), he has displayed the large tattoo on his chest for many roles (the tattoo depicts a woman wearing a sombrero). He often plays thugs or lowlife characters, although he has also played protagonists in films such as Robert Rodriguez's ''Spy Kids'' trilogy, ''Bubble Boy'' and a guest appearance on the USA Network series ''Monk'' with art imitating life as a convict roommate to Tony Shalhoub's undercover detective. He also appeared in an episode of ''Desperate Housewives'' in Season 2, sent by Carlos to help Gabrielle deal with her grief of losing her unborn baby (another good-guy character). He voices the character Enrique, and Octavio's character is based on his appearance on ''King of the Hill''. His role on ''King of the Hill'' was referenced in the HBO series ''Unscripted'' in which he appears in a quick cameo. He also is featured in an episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and an episode of ''Do IT LIVE'' alongside actors Anna Bennett and Claudia Pickering, shot in Downtown Los Angeles, by the name of ''Sebring feat. Danny Trejo''. Trejo also made guest appearances in the award-winning series ''Breaking Bad'' in 2009 and 2010.

The award-winning independent film, CHAMPION was released in 2005, documenting Trejo's life. It features Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Steve Buscemi and Robert Rodriguez. Trejo appears as a playable character in ''Def Jam: Fight for NY'', a fighting game to which the actor lent his voice and likeness. He had previously lent his voice to ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City'' and ''Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories'' for the character Umberto Robina, who also resembles Trejo. Trejo voiced the character of Rico in Rob Zombie's animated film ''The Haunted World of El Superbeasto'' as well as starring alongside Steven Seagal in ''Urban Justice''. He is now portraying the Mexican bartender in the daytime soap opera ''The Young and the Restless''. He also voices Raul the Ghoul in Fallout: New Vegas.

Regarding his continued growth as a professional actor, Trejo has stated that he still cannot believe how fortunate he has been. "I'm so blessed. I'm still scared that somebody's going to wake me up and say, 'Hey, we're still in prison. Let's go to chow.

Many of Trejo's characters in Robert Rodriguez movies have been named after knives or sharp instruments: Machete in ''Spy Kids'', Razor Eddie in the ''From Dusk till Dawn'' series, Navajas (Spanish for blades) in ''Desperado'', and Cuchillo (Spanish for knife) in ''Predators''. He also plays Machete in a trailer made for Rodriguez's film collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, ''Grindhouse''. In 2010, he starred in a full theatrical version of ''Machete'', based on the character.

He has also made cameo appearances in music videos such as, in rapper Tech N9ne's video for the single, "Like Yeah," from his 2008 release Killer, Rehab's 2007 song "Bartender", Jay Chou's short movie-music video "Double Blade" from his 2003 album Ye Hui Mei, and the Jonas Brothers' "Burnin' Up" from their album A Little Bit Longer and in Sepultura video "Attitude" in 1996.

He also appeared in the PlayStation Move game The Fight: Lights Out as an instructor for the player's character, and as himself in the second map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops; Escalation map pack, on the zombie map: Call of the Dead.

Personal life

Trejo is married to Debbie Shreve. He has three children: Danny Boy (b. 1981), Gilbert (b. 1988), Danielle (b. 1990), who are all from previous relationships.

Trejo has said that he is amazed when he walks the streets where he used to commit crimes and children ask him for autographs. He also pointed out that he often chooses to play bad guys to teach younger audiences that bad guys often die or go to prison, and that one should try to live a decent life.

Trejo often speaks in front of youth groups and at colleges and encourages young people to avoid making the same mistakes he did while growing up.
