John Malkovich

John Malkovich (Pascal Sauvage) is one of the leading actors of his generation and an important figure in world cinema.

Seven years later, he won an Obie Award when the Steppenwolf production of Sam Shephard's True West was brought to New York. His next New York theatrical appearance was on Broadway alongside Dustin Hoffman in the 1984 revival of Death of a Salesman. (This same production was transformed into a telefilm one year later and John Malkovich won an Emmy for his portrayal of Biff Loman.) While he was working on Broadway, he made his film debut, playing a blind transient in Places in the Heart (1984), which earned him an Academy Award® nomination. That same year, John Malkovich had a starring role in the highly acclaimed The Killing Fields.
