His personal views align with the Hollywood Insider, as he views journalism as a means to empower and mobilize positive change rather than spread gossip or negativity. He believes that art ignites action and has sought to pursue stories that further this goal.
Since the inception of film, much debate has been had not only surrounding who the greatest actor or actress in the history of movies may be, but additionally over what criteria should be assessed in an attempt to crown a clear champion. Some have pointed towards their impact on the industry while others look to the off-camera persona or record at awards shows and, of course, the prolificacy and relevancy of their filmography itself.
Nicholson holds the record for the most Academy Award nominations for a male actor with a whopping twelve stretched over a nearly year run beginning in and concluding in He arrived in Tinseltown in to visit his sister and was steadily intoxicated by the burgeoning film industry, picking up odd jobs around the city with the ultimate goal of becoming an actor.
Thankfully, Nicholson landed the part and went on to carve out one of the most interesting careers in the history of film, originating some of its most recognizable heroes, villains, and everything in between.
The film saw the actor star as Bobby Dupea, an untethered hired hand working on an oil rig who left behind the pride and privilege of his wealthy upbringing and prodigious abilities on the piano. Nicholson became a household name overnight and he was dubbed the new American anti-hero, his larger-than-life persona quickly developing into a tangible trademark.
The pair of officers form a tender connection to the young man played by Randy Quaid , sentenced to eight years of imprisonment for the attempted theft of forty dollars, and seek to give him the week of his life on their way up to the prison. The film became famous for its excessive profanity, a record at the time, and blend of side-splitting humor with forlorn sincerity. The former saw Nicholson star as the endlessly parodied private detective Jake Gittes attempting to navigate his way through the dangerous underbelly of s Los Angeles and the real-life story of the California Water Wars.
Nicholson turned in his most breathtakingly honest and devilishly indelible performances to date with this film, officially cementing himself at the forefront of his generation of actors. Nicholson portrayed David Locke, a journalist and new documentarian who assumes the life of a mysterious look-alike businessman who dies in a neighboring hotel room while Locke is working on a dead-end assignment in Northern Africa.
Unbeknownst to Locke, the man is an arms dealer connected to an underground civil war movement in the nation, a fact that proves exceedingly troublesome for the unsuspecting journalist. And here are 50 reasons why I think he could just be the greatest living actor today. Charisma Jack Nicholson is one of the most charismatic actors in the business. His defiantly non-conformist and rebellious attitude is deeply woven into each one of his roles and his charisma simply bleeds off the screen.
A Triple Oscar Winner Nominated a whopping 12 times more than any other actor and alongside Walter Brennan, Nicholson is one of only two actors ever to have taken home the golden statue three times; first for his tour de force as R.
George Hanson in Easy Rider The role that finally brought Jack to the attention of mainstream audiences and a ticket to the big time was as a drunken but wry small-town lawyer in Dennis Hopper's counterculture classic Easy Rider. Mike Nichols. These are all huge directors and he's worked with them all. They've all sought him out to work him.
No other actor can hold a candle to the people's he worked with over the course of his career. Jack Nicholson had a long-standing relationship with gonzo journalist Hunter S. Their friendship lasted for many years and often involved weird-ass birthday presents. Hunter S. Thompson, however, took it WAY too far one birthday.
He blared animal cries through a loudspeaker and shone a massive spotlight into Nicholson's house in the middle of the night.
When nobody came to the door, Thompson then left a 'freshly-cut elk's heart' at the door and drove. Nicholson was being plagued with stalkers at the time and thought it was something along the lines of Charles Manson.
He even contacted the FBI until he realised it was Thompson. We know. He fell funny. Nicholson is incredible as the gleefully-evil Boston Irish mob boss, Frank Costello. That, of course, is just one many great one-liners he's done down through the years. His performance as The Joker in 's Batman is just a masterclass in wit. There are only a small number of men alive who could pull off wearing sunglasses indoors.
