  • Date of Birth: December 09, 1953
  • Place of Birth: Christopher, Illinois, USA
Mini-bio: In 1976 John Malkovich joined Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, newly founded by his friend Gary Sinise. After that it would take seven years before Malkovich would show up in New York and win an Obie in...( read more) Sam Shepard's play "True West". In 1984 Malkovich would appear with Dustin Hoffman in the Broadway revival of "Death of a Salesman", which would earn him an Emmy when it was made into a made-for-TV movie the next year. His big-screen debut would be as the blind lodger in Places in the Heart (1984), which earned him an Academy Award Nomination for best supporting actor. Other films would follow, including The Killing Fields (1984) and The Glass Menagerie (1987), but he would be well remembered as Vicomte de Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons (1988). Playing against Michelle Pfeiffer and Glenn Close in a costume picture helped raise his standing in the industry. He would be cast as the psychotic political assassin in Clint Eastwood's In the Line of Fire (1993), for which he would be nominated for both the Academy Award and the Golden Globe. In 1994 Malkovich would portray the sinister Kurtz in the made-for-TV movie Heart of Darkness (1994) (TV), taking the story to Africa as it was originally written. Malkovich has periodically returned to Chicago to both act and direct.

    I know for a fact that John Malkovich was from Benton, IL. I don't know for sure which town he was born in, but I know this due to the fact that I live in a town to the east of Benton. Its a big thing that we, meaning the locals of Franklin County, have a celebrity. I have even seen pictures of him in his Benton Ranger football jersey, if I am remembering right. Just thought the world should know.
