Matthew Modine

The leader of journalistic resistance to the policies of Adolf Hitler, a participant in the Vietnam War, a doctor of extrasensory perception - Matthew Modine has many faces. No wonder film critic Vincent Canby, who has been writing reviews for The New York Times for 35 years, once called him "one of the most flexible and adaptable actors of his generation." If not for the principle, in the 1980s Modine would have taken the place of Tom Cruise and became the sex symbol of Hollywood. However, the performer is already successful in his field.

Matthew Avery Modine was born on March 22, 1959 in Loma Linda, California. He is the youngest of 7 children of the accountant Dolores (nee Warner) and the owner of car theaters Mark Alexander Modine.

Parents raised Matthew and his brothers and sisters as Mormons. But they never raised the issue of religious education bluntly, were loyal to the observance of dogmas, since they did not fall into fanaticism, and over time they completely departed from their chosen faith.

As a child, the actor's family moved 1-2 times a year. They found refuge in Utah, New Mexico, Montana, Oregon. Therefore, the boy could not make friends: as soon as he got used to his classmates and peer neighbors, he had to hit the road again.

The future favorite of Stanley Kubrick and Christopher Nolan found solace in acting. He avidly watched black and white films, developed facial expressions in front of the mirror and recited excerpts from films to his sisters and brothers by heart. Therefore, the choice of a future profession was given simply.

In 1977, Matthew graduated from Mar Vista School in Imperial Beach, California. After 2 years he moved to New York and entered the school of Stella Adler - one of the most famous acting teachers. To pay for the courses, he worked as a chef in a restaurant in Manhattan. There the young man met his future wife - Caridad Rivera.

Matthew Modine and Caridad Rivera were married in 1980. Their first child, Boman Mark Rivera Modine, was born on November 8, 1985. He is now a little-known film producer specializing in short films.

On July 31, 1990, Ruby Wilder Rivera Modine was born. She followed in her father's footsteps and became an actress. Most often, the girl starred in horror movies. The largest projects in her filmography are Happy Death Day (2017) and Happy New Death Day (2019).

The performer rarely makes his personal life public. Most often in the Instagram feed there are photographs of her daughter. The artist is probably very proud of the fact that she inherited her passion for the game.

Matthew had hardly finished Stella Adler's school when he received an offer to star in the comedy "Baby, It's You!" (1983). On the stage, the aspiring actor was noticed by Noel Black, who was just selecting the cast for his film "Private School" (1983). The next project for Modine turned out to be fateful.

Three times during his career, the performer played in films about the Vietnam War, all times - in the main role.

The 1983 drama Losers portrayed military life as it is: testosterone-laden, racial and gender-biased. The 1984 film Ptah was a clear example of what war is doing to humanity. But the "Best Shooter", released in 1986, so distorted reality that it did not deserve to be included in the actor's filmography.

Top Shooter was a win-win ticket. Tom Cruise, who was eventually approved for the lead role, hit the jackpot. He became a sex symbol in Hollywood, a frequenter of action films and the Mission Impossible film series. These privileges would go to Modine if he had compromised his principles.

Once in an interview, the performer told what made him refuse the lead role in "Best Shooter". In his youth he was taught that "the Russians are the bad guys, the Chinese will destroy the world." But once the artist came to the film festival in East Berlin ...

Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987) was the ideal version of Top Gun for the actor. The harsh but true-to-life drama has won Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. The box office was 3 times the budget. And the hero Modaina became a symbol of the Vietnam War - a pacifist-prankster who has to kill others in order to return home alive himself.

The performer considers the "all-metal shell" to be the most honest picture in his biography.

As of the spring of 2020, the man's filmography includes more than 40 projects. Among them are Hitler: The Rising of the Devil (2003), The Dark Knight Rises (2012), Jobs (2013) and Stranger Things (2016).

In the Netflix series, the actor played Martin Brenner, the biological father of Eleven, a girl with supernatural powers. Her image was embodied by Millie Bobby Brown. Martin Brenner is obsessed with developing psychic abilities. He forcibly keeps his daughter in a cell and conducts terrible experiments on her.

In 2020 and 2021, at least 4 films with the participation of the artist should be expected. Fresh news about them is available on the official website of the performer.

The premiere of the family basketball drama "Chance" took place in April 2020. The Martini Shot about the director's latest attempt to make a good movie, Breaking News In Yuba County with Mila Kunis, and The Three Lucias' intricate love story are still in post-production.

The man is also currently preparing his own film, The Rocking Horsemen. He will talk about high school students who, fearing adulthood, are assembling a rock band.
