Russell Ira Crowe was born on 7th April 1964, New Zealand. Son of movie set caterers, early cinema was in his blood. Beginning as a child star on a local Australian TV show, Russell's first big break came with two films : the first, «Romper Stomper» (1992) and the second, «The Sum of Us» (1994), that helped put him on the American map. After initial success in Australia, Russell Crowe began acting in American films. He first co-starred with Denzel Washington in "Virtuosity" in 1995. He went on to become a three-time Oscar nominee, winning the Academy Award as Best Actor in 2001 for "Gladiator" (2000). He also has a good performance in "A Beautiful Mind" (2001), where Russell performed the role of John Forbes Nash, a great mathematician who had schizophrenia.
Presently, Russell is married to Danielle Spencer and they have two sons
(Charles and Tennyson). Russell performs his roles with a big reality, as if he was the person that he has to create. That amazing ability conciliated with his strength of will make him one of the best actors in the world.
