He moved to New York City in 1980 to appear in a Steppenwolf [10] [11] production of the Sam Shepard playTrue WestMalkovich then directed a, for which he won an Obie Award. Steppenwolf co-production, the 1984 revival of Lanford Wilson'sBalm in Gilead, for which he received a second [10] Obie Award and a Drama Desk Award. His Broadway debut that year was as Biff inDeath of a Salesman, alongside Dustin Hoffman as Willy. Malkovich won an Emmy Award for this role when the play was adapted for television by CBS in 1985. One of the actor's first forays into film was as an extra alongside Allen, Terry Kinney, George Wendt, and Laurie Metcalf in Robert Altman's 1978 filmA Wedding. He made his feature film debut in 1984, as Sally Field's blind boarder Mr. Will inPlaces in the Heart; for his portrayal of Mr. Will, Malkovich received his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He also portrayed Al Rockoff inThe Killing Fields. He continued to have steady work in films likeEmpire of the Sun, directed by Steven Spielberg, and the 1987 film adaptation of Tennessee Williams'sThe Glass Menagerie, with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. A few years later, Malkovich became a star when he portrayed the sinister and sensual Valmont in the 1988 filmDangerous Liaisons. He later reprised this role for the music video ofWalking on Broken Glassby Annie Lennox.

Malkovich starred in the 1992 film adaptation of John Steinbeck's award-winning novellaOf Mice and Menas Lennie alongside Gary Sinise as George. In 1994, he was nominated for another Oscar, in the same category, forIn the Line of Fire. Though he played the title role in the Charlie Kaufman-pennedBeing John Malkovich, he played a slight variation of himself, as indicated by the character's middle name of "Horatio". Malkovich has a cameo in the movieAdaptation.—also written by Kaufman—appearing as himself during the filming ofBeing John Malkovich. The Dancer Upstairs, Malkovich's directorial film debut, was released in 2002. Recent film roles includeThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,Beowulf,Burn After ReadingandChangeling. Malkovich has hosted three episodes of the NBC sketch showSaturday Night Live. The first occasion was in January 1989 with musical guest Anita Baker; the second in October 1993 with musical guest Billy Joel (and special appearance by former cast member Jan Hooks); and the third was in December 2008 with musical guest T.I. with Swizz Beatz (and special appearances by Justin Timberlake, Molly Sims, and Jamie-Lynn Sigler).

Malkovich was due to play the role of The Vulture inSpider-Man 4, but the project was canceled in January 2010. [14] Malkovich is known for his distinctive voice, whichThe Guardiandescribes as "a reedy, faintly orgasmic drawl".

John Malkovich Personal life and political views Malkovich was married to Glenne Headly from 1982 to 1988. They divorced after Malkovich became involved with Michelle Pfeiffer, his [11] co-star inDangerous Liaisons. He later met his long-term partner Nicoletta Peyran on the set ofThe Sheltering Skywhere she was the second assistant director, in 1989. They have two children; Amandine (born 1990) and Loewy (born 1992). Malkovich is a conservative. Actor William Hootkins, who worked with Malkovich in BBC Television'sRocket to the Moon, stated, "In Interview at the Karlovy Vary International Film [11] fact, he's so right-wing you have to wonder if he's kidding." Festival In a 2002 appearance at the Cambridge Union Society, when asked whom he would most like to "fight to the death," Malkovich replied that he would "rather just shoot" journalist [15] [16] Robert Fisk and British MP George Galloway. Fisk reacted with outrage. When interviewed byThe Observer, Malkovich elaborated on his comments: "I hate somebody who is supposed to be a Middle Eastern expert who thinks Jesus was born in Jerusalem. I hate what I consider his vile anti-semitism. This being said, I apologize to both Fisk and Galloway; they seem like good men but if they make such a heinous mistake again, I will not hesitate to murder them brutally by way of the gallows." Malkovich later added: "I'm a Christopher Hitchens fan myself, but no one has thinner skins than journalists, in my experience, and I come from a family of them... They can dish it out but they can't take it. But the reason I don't like the topic, why I don't really say anything about a whiner like Fisk, is it gives [17] them more oxygen." Malkovich is fluent in French and for nearly 10 years, lived and worked in a theater in southern France. He and his [11] [17] family left France in a dispute over taxes in 2003, and since then he has lived in Cambridge, [18] Massachusetts. In a 2008 interview onThe Late Show With David Letterman, Malkovich said he had just spent five weeks that summer living in France. Malkovich is a confirmed atheist and does not believe in God. In April 2005, while speaking at Illinois State, Malkovich was awarded his bachelor's degree in theatre. When attending the university as a student in the 1970s, he failed to take his last remaining graduation requirement, a test on the United States Constitution; this requirement was waived for Malkovich. [19] [20] Malkovich lost millions to Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme when it collapsed in 2008. Filmography Actor
