John Gavin Malkovich (born December 9, 1953) is an American actor and director. Malkovich is well-known for his work in arthouse fare like The Killing Fields and Dangerous Liaisons, and in big-budget blockbusters, like In the Line of Fire, Con Air, Red and its sequel, as well as that jewel thief movie. He even played himself (and several other people, sort of) in Being John Malkovich. In nearly all of them, however, he plays scary guys with creepy voices.
