While
Don Cheadle is one of Hollywood's best character
actors, he also remains of the most underappreciated.
Although he turned in memorable performances in
HAMBURGER HILL and COLORS, it wasn't until 1995
when Cheadle played Mouse in DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS
that he would finally be recognized. In DEVIL, Cheadle
stole the film with just ten minutes of screen time.
He has since put together a solid body of work with
an array of quality directors including Warren Beatty
(BULWORTH), Brian DePalma (MISSION TO MARS), Paul
Thomas Anderson (BOOGIE NIGHTS) and Steven Soderbergh
(OUT OF SIGHT, TRAFFIC). Even his occasional forays
into television have been met with success. His
depiction of Sammy Davis Jr. in the HBO film THE
RAT PACK won him a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy
nomination. In the same year, he was also Emmy-nominated
for another cable film, A LESSON BEFORE DYING.
Cheadle is currently starring
alongside Nicholas Cage in THE FAMILY MAN. Later
this year he will be starring in SWORDFISH with
John Travolta and X-MEN star Hugh Jackman.
TRAFFIC is Don Cheadle's
second picture with director Steven Soderbergh,
after starring in OUT OF SIGHT in 1998. It is expected
that he will be rejoining Soderbergh again this
year in the high-profile remake of OCEAN'S ELEVEN.

There
is only one web site that I know of that is dedicated
to Don Cheadle. Incidentally, it hasn't been updated
in about a year. I know this because I run (ran?)
it. I do, though, have every intention of redesigning
it (with all new updates) sometime soon.
