Decades before he would stand in the middle of a Roman Colosseum in the role that would become his most iconic performance, a young New Zealander had designs of fronting a hard rock band. Russell Crowe’s passion for music sparked his journey through drama school, during which he recaptured a passion for acting. First appearing in Australian television, the actor made his crossover into international superstardom through appearances in a mixture of action-packed parts anchored by Crowe’s dramatic presence. With the dawn of the 1980’s, the era of classically-trained and often Shakespearean celebrity actors was all but dead. Marlon Brandon and Lawrence Olivier had given way to a new generation’s desire to be entertained at a faster and more high-energy pace. It was into this world of blockbuster Hollywood filmmaking that Tom Cruise emerged as a future superstar. With dashing good looks and unequaled charm, Cruise quickly became the face of a new wave of talented Hollywood movie stars. For more interesting facts you must read the biographies.
