About Russell Crowe (1964 - )
Russell Ira Crowe was born on April
7, 1964 in Wellington, New Zealand. Russell Crowe
has made his home in Australia since he was a small
child. Russell Crowe got an early start in acting
as a child, when he became a star of an Austrailian
TV Show. Crowe was first noticed in America because
of two Australian films: "Romper Stomper"
and "The Sum Of Us." Sharon Stone was
instrumental in getting Russell Crowe in his first
American movie, " The Quick and the Dead,"
which in turn opened up more doors for Crowe. "L.A.
Confidential" made him a star with the film
going public, delighting his old fans and making
a lot of new fans.
Russell Crowe's next huge hit was
in 1999, "The Insider," for which he received
an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, in his portrayal
of Mr. Wigand, a tobacco executive-turned-whistle
blower, a character that is the heart of the film.
The year after receiving his Oscar
for "Gladiator," he was nominated again
for his wonderful performance in "A Beautiful
Mind," which he unfortunately didn't win, but
truly deserved it.
