  • Though certainly capable of projecting warmth and pathos, Malkovich became best-known for his ice-water-in-the-veins roles.
  • Aside from DANGEROUS LIAISONS Vicomte de Valmont, Malkovich won recognition -- and Oscar and Golden Globe nominations -- for his portrayal of the chameleon-like political assassin in IN THE LINE OF FIRE (1993).
  • He and Australian pop thrush Natalie Imbruglia will co-star in JOHNNY ENGLISH, the latest Rowan Atkinson comedy vehicle, for Universal Pictures.
  • Was furious when a truck driver knocked him - so he taught the man some manners.
  • His real middle name is Gavin - in BEING JOHN MALKOVICH (1999), his character's middle name is Horatio.
  • In the UK release of IN THE LINE OF FIRE (1993), the scene where Mitch Leary (Malkovich) kills the bank clerk and her roommate was edited so the audience did not witness the physical breaking of each of their necks. Malkovich also wanted to include the killing of the dog in this scene but director Wolfgang Petersen thought this was a little too much.
  • Playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, he previously appeared in THE OBJECT OF BEAUTY (1991), in which his character complains of too many film adaptations of DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE (MARY REILLY (1996)).
  • Malkovich tackled a dense political drama inspired by the capture of former Peruvian guerrilla leader Abimael Guzman for his directorial debut, THE DANCER UPSTAIRS. (September 2002)
