The Passion of John Cusack
By Behind The Scenes TV on Apr 30, 2008 in Actors, New Releases
It’s not that John Cusack isn’t trying.
In his latest film, “War, Inc.,” the 41-year-old actor plays a corporation-hired hit man charged with assassinating the CEO of a competitor. In his career, he’s also played a beleaguered playwright (”Bullets Over Broadway”), a lonelyhearted record store owner (”High Fidelity”), a U.S. marshal (”Con Air”) and Nelson Rockefeller (”Cradle Will Rock”).
But ask many people — including some moony-eyed CNN.com staffers — about their image of Cusack and they immediately respond, “Lloyd Dobler”: the good-hearted, boombox-holding, kickboxing hopeful the actor played in 1989’s “Say Anything.”
