Jon Voight
FILMOGRAPHY (REVIEWED ENTRIES ONLY)
Selective, probing, and sensitive leading man whose career peaked during the 1970s with award-winning performances in films such as Deliverance, Coming Home (for which he won a rare triple of awards at the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and Cannes), and The Champ. Before this, the boyishly handsome Voight had made his breakthrough opposite Dustin Hoffman in John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy. Despite his star status, Voight's output remained relatively low throughout the 1970s and 1980s, as he often followed his own path when choosing roles and directors to work with. His star had diminished somewhat by the time he made a triumphant return with Runaway Train (1985). From the 1990s onwards, Voight has appeared mostly in supporting roles, often in more mainstream films than earlier in his career, including Heat, Mission: Impossible, Pearl Harbor, and Ali, for which he received his most recent Academy Award nomination. He is the father of actress Angelina Jolie.
