What other actors would you like to learn about next?

Not only do I love this man for his acting but also because of how he is standing up for himself now. He is amazing.

He's a smart dude. He does what he likes, no fucks given.

But he's right ,Hollywood gone through ,its all about big franchises and super stars ,it's not about making meaningful movies anymore .

John Cusak made some brilliant work and films.He's a great actor.

he is still and always will be one of my favorite actors

According to Looper, Hollywood isn't casting anyone any more.

He was and always will be a breath of fresh air in a manufactured Ken-doll like sea of hollywood leading men. He adds substance and meaning to his roles.

"Identity" and "1408" good flicks.

Screw the awards and screw the critics, Cusack rocks !

Hollywood doesn't deserve him, he's just such a fantastic actor ❤ he was brilliant in Being John Malkovich

Cusack is great at idealistic, upbeat, dark humor. Many lead actors dominate the screen. Cusack doesn't need to blot out the scenery because his expressions are intricate and draw the eye. He manages to withstand the hard situations with pluck, and win in the end, by patience and wit. That does not get old. His kind of character would be great in a film about Today's fascist mess because he wouldn't fit in. He is good at drama, comedy, and action. I know he will make more blockbusters, and Hollywood will wear its names on its sleeves as part of its charms.

He saved Con Air. The movie is watchable because of him.

Cusack is easily one of my favorite actors. He does what he wants.

John Cusack is a good actor. He killed it in Say Anything.. 👏👏

I love Cusack even more since he gave Hollywood the middle finger. That town is a hot mess and everyone knows it. Furthermore, his political activism is on point and inspiring.

John Cusack is an eternal talent. Simply because he chooses his roles carefully certainly doesn't make this actor a hasbeen. His body of work speaks for itself, as well as his honesty in interviews.

Cusack--- one of my top 5 favorite actors.

He's a great actor and he's goddamn right about everything he said!

He’s one of my favorite actors

Awesome actor - I'll watch anything he makes.

He’s amazing. He’s incredibly intelligent and I want to see and hear more from him.

John Cusack is my favorite actor. Would love to see him in a big movie again! I saw Brian Wilson's Christmas show a few weeks ago and was thinking of John Cusack on how great he was in Love & Mercy!

My respect for him just skyrocketed

I love John Cusack. He is so handsome and his remarks about Hollywood is on point. ❤️

I saw John being interviewed at a live event in 2012(with an audience Q&A that I took part in). He said that he was willing to take on more challenging roles and didn't want to be tied solely to his Lloyd Dobler("Say Anything")character. I'd think he had an idea that there could be consequences before he remarked about Hollywood. What I admire about John is that if he makes a statement/opinion, he provides clear examples to back it up. Now that he's starring on "Utopia," hopefully people will admire John's versatility as an actor.

He was amazing in the Beach Boys movie.

he is right right right about the filth that is Hollywood.

Won't cast John cusack!? He's been in a dozen movies in the past 4 years. What's this about?

I wish I've seen more of him in bigger movies. He's a pretty good actor in my opinion.

Rotten Tomatoes shouldnt be considered as a film critic...

I enjoy John's films, a film does not have to Please the critic to please the public. Critics have been given too much power as to what films are shown in theaters so the public never sees some movies we would enjoy seeing in theaters, Sometimes it has to do with popularity more than what may Please the public. Many movies that make it into theaters seem to be aimed at adolescent audiences or the less intelligent. I would enjoy actually watching a movie in a theater but very few target an audience that has graduated college. I enjoy a good actor/actress of any age, good writing, directing and a whole team but often it seems whoever is making less intelligent films. The population is aging so it would make sense to keep us in the theater crowd. My man friend and I have found movies to be a less reliable date night. John is a hero protecting young actors/actresses as well as freedom of the press. I look forward to his next film and the younger performers that will work within a more creative and professional industry.

I'm impressed about his passion for free speech. Funny, though, that his love of Obama changed when Obama started messing with the Constitution. He realized that our Constitutional rights were in danger and regretted voting for Obama. He should just write because High Fidelity and Grosse Point Blank were brilliant. We desperately need original movies. Too many are boring remakes.

He is awesome! he voice acted Dimitri from Anastasia!..

I met him at Fan Expo Dallas last year. He was fine in person, not rude or anything, but also seemed a little out of it. I still say he has some good stuff in him, but it's really up to him on whether or not he wants to be a huge star again. I mean hey, his career lasted longer than many other Brat Pack members.

I don't believe he's not being "hired." I think he's branched out & does a LOT of things. He's super wealthy and can do whatever he wants. He has a lot of interests, and has other talents. He's still an actor, too, though. I'm sure he'd be hired in a flash if he were interested in appearing in something.

He can be comedic, romantic, psychotic, realistic, and whatever other box he is put in. I enjoyed him since sixteen candles. But better of dead is my fav.

Nobody else could have played in 1408

Cell is fucking. Awful. If you want a good Stephen King/Cusack movie, check out 1408 like everybody else is saying here. 1408 was great. You'll never get the time back you spent watching Cell.

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in a weird parallel universe, and in most of the other universes John Cusack is a top A-Lister. He seems like he just needs one key opportunity to make a huge comeback and remind everyone of how good he is. It’s unjust that after entering “John Cusack” into the KZfaq search bar, this video is one of the top results.

He was never a handsome leading role model but he was an incredible actor compelling actor!!

He's multi-talented! And a sound man!

Watching him in his 80’s roles and then Grosse Point Blank and High Fidelity, it amazes me how he can make subtly scary characters sympathetic and even somewhat likeable. He’s a wonderful actor and i love how he’s gone his own path.

An actor of substance. He'll never be a has-been. I hope to see him in more challenging action films. I'm a fan forever.

His movies 1408 (horror as hell) and Hot tub time machine(funny as hell) are my favorites!

That church scene in Chi-Raq where he gave an intense sermon was really something to behold.

Loved all his movies. Great actor

I LOVE JOHN CUSACK...HE'S WONDERFUL. Great actor. I've seen all his movies..I loved him as a teenager, and he got even better.

Never knew he co-wrote High Fidelity. That's far and away the vest breakup film in existence. Hats off to Mr. Cusak, who despite being an actor forever, and like the video says, being in a bunch of iconic films, he still manages to be underrated.

I loved him in Must Love Dogs. Even when the film sucks his performance is always believable.

I love John he's a great actor. But he's right about Hollywood . You go John.❤😁😘♥

He's been in at least two films with Nic Cage, "The Frozen Ground" and "Con Air." Both films deserve a watch, in my opinion.

So he tells the truth about Hollywood and now devotes his intellect and energy towards truly progressive political change. Cusack is worthy of one's respect as opposed to criticism for no longer appearing in films. He obviously no longer gives a shit about the mad ways of Tinsel Town but is dedicated to making the world a better place.

He was amazing in "American Beauty".

" Never Grow Old " coming out in March 2019.....He is doing Very Well for Sure ! I like most of his films

He's always been a exceptional actor. When the time is right and when it's on his terms now, luckily, he'll be back to whatever movies he wants to. He's totally right about Hollywood...but that's not the only place to make movies anymore. He'll shine no matter what he does next...

John Cusack, was and is the most interesting actor, ever. Makes one wonder, doesn't it? We've always had freedom of speech. Now it seems, those who say ANYTHING about HOLLYWOOD, gets snubbed!! I've never seen one movie that I didn't LIKE -- in whatever movie he played in. I believe they're is something WIERD, going on! Call it an over-acting way of thinking -- but, it's just a gut feeling. So far in my life, that gut feeling has never let me down. Good or bad.

Hollywood movies are mostly rehashed garbage, though I did like him in The Grifters. That was a rare good Hollywood movie. Indies are so much less formulaic and refreshingly different. I like that he is following his heart, cos that is the only true path.

One of my favorite actors! A real actor.

Hello John, saw your video today, happy to see and hear how your doing in your life. I am a friend of yours from many years ago , remember my grandmother s house near U of A , historical area in downtown Tucson. You were a U of A student . I was with my two son's , and worked part time in Tucson Mall . Danced at Bumsteer steak and bar night club . Yes, many years ago. All is well with me . I remember how much we spoke . Glad your core values are intact. Such a blessing stand firm , courageous in your industry. Your a GREAT actor, I really enjoyed your film of Serendipty! One of my favorite you stared in. Best wishes on your career. God bless you. Peace and Joy Susan P. USA Az. 😁♥️🙏🦋🌵

John Cusack is probably one of the only artists I'd like to meet before I die...God bless you are amazing in so many ways !!

John cusak is brilliant actor shame they don't cast him more.

How dare you! Serendipity and Adult World rule!! :)

Great video! THANKS!

I Really like that John Cusack has made it clear that he knows whats going on and won't just go along with it, but I really like the movies he has been producing and/or directing, NAMELY the terrifying movies he has starred in "1408" and Stephen King's "Cell". Both of these movies are 2 of my recent choices to my movie library. GO JOHN CUSACK.

He has been my favorite actor since my dad showed me Grosse Pointe Blank back in 2008.

He has been honest about his life path experiences

Thanks for sharing ...love this man.

I ALWAYS viewed this MAN as an the big brother thats stands up for those who may can't.......very calm and stern.

I grew up watching his movies, he'll always be Lane Meyer to me.

Looper, it's time to do a video titled "why looper keeps making bullshit videos."

Its unfair how underrated Cusack is. People must forget The Grifters, Con Air, Love & Mercy, Being John Malkovich, Say Anything...

Glad that John is standing up for his craft. It was nice that he brought his craft to Michigan with Grosse Point Blank, great movie.

He is a great actor. He should do a HBO show as a pet project that he can star in. I'd watch it.

never tire of him in hot tube time machine

I'll forget I saw this and just continue to watch his older movies when they come up. "High Fidelity" is ranked well below where it should be in film history, it's a top 100 movie of all time. Makes me wonder if he wasn't pissing people off in the industry back then for it to be not constantly claimed as the great movie it is. "1408" is a great horror flick, I avoided it for a bit because I knew the bulk of it is just him solo acting in it, I was very wrong. Never dismiss a Cusack movie, they may not all be great, but not many are bad either.

He was criticising Hollywood waayyy before. I remember him bringing up the ageism women experience in Hollywood such a long time ago. Only now are some celebrities speaking up against it but its like easier to jump on that bandwagon, with the whole Weinstein thing etc. He had guts to stand up to that stuff, while most actors couldn't care less.

He should do something on TV, like Fargo or Better Call Saul.

One of my favorite actors!!!

I will pick John Cusack any day over any. I appreciate and like his acting in everything he has put his energy into. I'm older each year, but he seems timeless. Everyone has opinions, he stated his, that's acceptable. Thank you for sharing your talents bringing enjoyment to life, Mr Cusack.

To me John Cusack always looked like a mix between Nick Cage, Keanu Reeves with a little sprinkle of young Jackie Chan. The guy is amazing.

But '1408' was awesome!!!

Cusack is necessary, he's doing great work as an activist etc. Anyone should see War, INC. and Love and Mercy.

What a hero. Knew there was a reason why I liked him. Please God, Mother Earth, protect and nurture him.

My fav Cusack film. The Sure Thing :- No questions asked, no strings attached, no guilt involved ..... a sure thing.

I loved him in Pushing Tin, and especially Identities

John Cusack is my favorite actor. I will never say he's the best but he is my favorite :)

John Cusack's Defense of Julian Assaunge shows that he is a real good guy- A Mensch

John Cusack has more to him, than his list of films.What actors haven't done ,some unpopular films?Been a fan of the man,not just the actor,from the beginning...and will continue to support all his choices.Serendipity...loved it!!!❤❤

John is good guy. He's always been humble and down to earth

Do you guys at looper ever read IMDB before you post?

The most recent movie I watched with him was being John Malcovich and his acting made the movie go by so quick, such a great actor who pours into his characters.

He is a truly great. If he says Hollywood went to hell, I bet he is right.

He has 4 movies in production, 2 due out this year and 2 more next year (all four as an actor)

Now i like hime more...

I discovered this actor since 2012, the movie, not the year. Even though I didn't know he's done two voice roles like in Anastasia and in Igor, the animated movie I did see.

He was so great in "Gone with the Wind". Definitely his best work.

I really like John Cusack, I still believe his films made today are great. Sure nothing can compare to like Con Air or Hi Fidelity but I saw Reclaim and it wasn't horrible and neither was Cell. Critics are just too hard on movies, lower your standards and realize that sometimes not every movie is going to be a great big production like everything else.

Cusack's career would have been re energized if he would have starred in Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Just saying...

The 80s Cusack will always be my favorite films.
