Russell Crowe is an Oscar-winning actor from New Zealand/Australia, although he frequently plays Fake Americans. Among his more famous starring roles were in Gladiator (as an Ancient Roman general/gladiator; Oscar winner), A Beautiful Mind (as a brilliant yet troubled mathematician; Oscar nominated), and The Insider (as a corporate whistleblower; Oscar nominated). As a musician he was formerly in the line up of a band called "30 Odd Foot of Grunts". Most recently,[when?] he has been cast as Jor-El in Zack Snyder's reboot of the Superman franchise and as Javert in the upcoming[when?] film adaptation of the musical Les Misérables.
After several highly publicized fights, he has gained a reputation for his temper. He once headbutted the actor Peter Cousens and threw a telephone at a hotel concierge. The American Secret Service protected Crowe for a time when Al Qaeda allegedly threatened his life as some sort of destabilization plan that involved eliminating iconic Americans (despite not being American...).
