Sam Rockwell

Sam Rockwell is a talented actor who has been admired by moviegoers for his roles in Green Mile, Frost vs. Nixon, Moon Box, and other films, many of which have become cult films. Rockwell's skill and charm helped him not only gain millions of fans around the world, but also to become the winner of the prestigious Golden Globe Award.

The future idol of moviegoers was born on November 5, 1968 in the town of Daly City (in California). The boy's parents, Pete Rockwell and Penny Hess, were aspiring actors at the time, so it's no surprise that Rockwell Jr.'s biography was connected to the world of cinema. When Sam was two years old, the Rockwell family moved to New York: in the big city, parents saw more chances for high-profile roles.

In 1973, the boy's parents decided to break up. Sam stayed with his father, who moved to San Francisco after the divorce. Little Rockwell's mother saw only during the holidays and vacation of his father. She constantly took her son to the theater and on the set, so Sam from an early age got an idea of the acting routines.

The first appearance on the theatrical stage Sam Rockwell also owes to his mother: her efforts to the boy got a small role in a comedy sketch. Sam was barely 10 years old at the time. It turned out that the boy was given the acting gift of his parents: on stage young Rockwell felt like a fish in the water.

After the incident, Sam's father sent his son to an art school to develop the boy's talent. In the same class with Sam Rockwell were Aisha Tyler (popular actress and comedian) and Margaret Cho (the girl also became an actress, singer and fashion designer).

All the conditions for studying seemed to have been created. However, the difficulties of transition age did not bypass Sam: for a while the young man did not even attend classes, carried away by parties, noisy companies and the first romantic relationship. The situation went so far that Rockwell was kicked out of school.

But after a while the young man picked himself up and graduated from another school - "Urban Pioneers". At the same time, Sam Rockwell recalled his interest in the actor's career. While in his senior year, the young man opened his own filmography with a role in the horror film "House of Clowns" (1989). The film earned several awards, and the aspiring actor realized that he had found his calling.

After graduating from high school, Sam Rockwell moved to New York to seriously start a career in the film industry.

For two years, Rockwell learned the basics of acting at a New York theater school called William Esper Studio. The young man's mentor was the eminent teacher Terry Knikerbocker. Sam's talent was quickly noticed by both teachers and directors. During his training, the young man managed to star in episodes of the TV series "Law and Order," "Equalizer," "Nypd."

Later, the actor often admitted in interviews that these years were very difficult in his life. Money was constantly scarce, and Sam Rockwell had to work as a waiter, film in countless commercials and deliver food to store buyers. That changed in 1996, when Sam got a role in the film "Moon Box". This film allowed the actor to really express himself.

A year later, a new film with Rockwell was released. Touching film "Meadow Dogs", where the actor appeared as a lawnmower named Trent, befriended a little girl, loved the audience. Sam's partner in the shoot was Mischa Barton.

Sam Rockwell's next bright work was as a role in Frank Darabent's The Green Mile. This adaptation of the novel by Stephen King collected a huge number of awards and nominations, and the actors who played in the film, literally woke up famous. Sam got the image of a cruel maniac who killed two little girls. Also in the film played Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, Doug Hutchison.

Following this success, Sam Rockwell's filmography was updated annually. The actor has appeared in such films as Charlie's Angels, Confessions of a Dangerous Man, The Magnificent Scam, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Seven. The audience especially liked the film "Iron Man"

Remarkably, the main role of Tony Stark, played by Robert Downey Jr., could go to Sam Rockwell. However, fate ordered otherwise, and Rockwell appeared only in the second part of the epic - "Iron Man 2" (2010) - in the form of the villain Justin Hammer.

The works of Sam Rockwell are completely diverse, which once again emphasizes the talent of the actor. The man is filmed in commercial films, and in the author's cinema for connoisseurs of art.

Prominent handsome Sam Rockwell (by the way, the height of the actor - 175 cm) never suffered from the lack of attention of romantically minded girls. However, none of them has yet been able to give Sam's personal life official status. Moreover, Rockwell has repeatedly stressed that children and family life are not for him.

However, actress Leslie Bibb, who began rockwell's romance in 2007, managed to subdue the charismatic actor. Perhaps after a while fans will be pleased with the wedding photos of the couple on Instagram and other social networks on Rockwell's fan pages.

In 2017, the lovers were asked to tell what the secret of such a strong and long relationship. Leslie Bibb replied that it was a matter of good sex, Sam modestly added that the secret in constant sincere communication.

In early 2018, the actor won the coveted Golden Globe for his supporting role in "Three Billboards on the Border of Ebbing, Missouri." This film directed by Martin McDonagh tells about the tragedy in the life of a single mother named Mildred Hayes (actress Frances McDormand).

The woman's daughter is raped and murdered, and the police are not particularly eager to solve the case. Then Mildred takes the investigation into his own hands. Sam Rockwell played police officer Jason Dixon here.

Now Sam Rockwell is already busy shooting a new film. The painting is called Blaze. It is already known that this work directed by Ethan Hawke will tell the audience about the difficult fate of the real-life musician Blaise Foley.
