John Paul Cusack (born June 28, 1966) is an American film actor and writer, born in Evanston, Illinois to a liberal Irish-Catholic family. His father Dick Cusack, as well as his siblings Ann, Bill, Joan, and Susie have also been actors. His mother, Nancy, is a former teacher and political activist.

Early life and career

Cusack attended Piven Theatre Workshop while growing up in Evanston.

Cusack spent a year at New York University before dropping out, reasoning that he had "too much fire in belly."

He first became famous in the mid-1980s for appearing in teen movies such as Better Off Dead, The Sure Thing and One Crazy Summer. His biggest success in that genre is arguably his starring role as Lloyd Dobler in Cameron Crowe's Say Anything. He began broadening his choice of roles in the late 1980s and early 1990s with more serious-minded fare, such as the political satire True Colors and the noir thriller The Grifters.

His sister Joan and his close friend Jeremy Piven have appeared in many of his films.

Cusack became a proven box office success with his roles in the black comedy Grosse Pointe Blank and the Jerry Bruckheimer blockbuster Con Air. He has since chosen a diverse range of roles, such as an obsessive puppeteer in Being John Malkovich, a lovelorn record store owner in High Fidelity, and a Jewish art dealer mentoring a young Adolf Hitler in Max.

He will next appear as a widowed father in the Iraq War-themed drama Grace is Gone and as a terrified writer in the horror film 1408, based on Stephen King's short story of the same name.

Personal life

He is not married, but has been romantically linked to a number of women. Cusack is fiercely protective of his private life and rarely makes public appearances between his films or events. He has said that "celebrity is the worst thing that can happen to an actor."

Since May 2005 he's been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post, although his latest post is dated later that year. He has written extensively on his opposition to the war in Iraq and his disdain for the Bush administration, calling their worldview "depressing, corrupt, unlawful, and tragically absurd."
