Russell Crowe: Best Actor, 2000: MovieActors.com
GLADIATOR (Drama – R)
Russell Crowe won his Best Actor Oscar playing a Roman General, Maximus Decimus Meridus, who is picked to be the next in line by the sitting Emperor over the Emperor's own corrupt son. The son kills the General's family and the General is captured and brought to Rome, condemned to be a Gladiator until he dies. The General's new mission becomes to avenge his betrayal and his family's death.
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 Australian 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.
Russell Crowe's next huge hit was in 1999 with the Michael Mann-directed corporate thriller The Insider, for which he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of a tobacco company executive turned whistle-blower.
The year after winning his Oscar for Gladiator, he was nominated again for his performance in A Beautiful Mind.
