In this post I bring you one of the most talented and acclaimed North American actors, who inexplicably rarely receives awards. I’m talking about John Malkovich, actor, producer and director, who has at least 64 relevant works in cinema and TV.

The actor has 3 Primetime Emmy Awards: Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Television Film 1986, for: “Death of a Salesman” (1985); Sports Emmy Award for Best Screenplay 2018, at the AFC Championship: “Teasing John Malkovich” and Emmy Award for News and Documentaries: Best Informative Programming - Articles 2010, at HBO Documentary Films. However, he never won an Oscar, with his career marked by just two nominations for Best Supporting Actor. He also competed for the Golden Globe three times and never won.

Because he made some biographical films and even used his own name in the titles, for example: “Being John Malkovich” (1999), the top brass in Hollywood often despise the actor's works. For this reason, Malkovich rejected having a star on the Los Angeles Walk of Fame.

John Gavin Malkovich, born December 9, 1953, Christopher, Illinois, United States, now 70 years old.

John Malkovich has been married only once, to the late actress Glenne Aimee Headly (1955-2017) from 1982 to 1988, and is currently in a long-term relationship with film director Nicoletta Peyran (1956-) since 1989, with whom Malkovich has two children: British Amandine Malkovich (1990-) and American software engineer Loewy Malkovich (1992-).
