Hi User 63.164.145.33! Why did you the delete the information that Cusack is childless and dates Neve Campbell? Is there a particular reason for this? Greetings Heidi S

Anyone have information on why the fan site Cusack 101 was shut down?

"He continues to choose roles in movies outside the mainstream, however, such as Being John Malkovich and High Fidelity; the latter of which is largely considered to be a definitive role for the actor, as a troubled record store owner with too many relationship hangups." Added the latter of because previous syntax was confusing and did not differentiate between films. Also deleted He will next appear in the horror film 1408, based on the Stephen King short story, as a persistent supernatural writer who realizes his latest venture in a haunted hotel room, might be the real thing. as the actor has several film in production and we have no way of knowing which will come out first. --Dayshuffler 07:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

photo

surely someone can find a better photo than the one shown? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.75.170 (talk • contribs) 00:39, 1 August 2006

That would be nice indeed. This however is a free image, so the replacement would have to be a free one as well. Garion96 (talk) 22:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added a screenshot from Identity as a new picture. Much more flattering. --Dayshuffler 07:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the screenshot and re added the old free image. See also Wikipedia:Fair use criteria # 1. Garion96 (talk) 20:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't someone add in the Trivia section about the line "I could Be your John Cusack" in the song "Honorable Mention" by Fall Out Boy, on "Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend"??

I have the feel somebody lost track of things here. No matter what, that picture ought to be changed. I'm sure that if you let The Huffington Post know, somebody will come up with a decent free picture right away. My dear I'm still shocked """"

i have disdain for my opposition to this phrase

Hey -- can someone edit this: He has written extensively on his disdain for his opposition to the war in Iraq for clarity? That way it won't sound like ass. I'd do it but I don't know what it means even. Yay war in Iraq? Boo war?

Illinois state flag

The consensus here (at the Infobox actor discussion page) was that flags are unnecessary. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:14, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's all well and good, but it's not a guideline. Anthony Rupert 12:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This any better then? - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

16 Candles

Didn't he and his sister both get casted for 16 Candles after a Cattle Call for extras? The casting director then decided the Cusacks should get featured roles? At least that was my understanding. Isn't his start in show biz significant enough to be included in the article? Castravalva (talk) 06:49, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

16 Candles wasn't his start in show biz and they didn't get those parts because of a cattle call: he had already done one film (The Class) and his sister had done 3. As he said about 16 candles on Inside the Actors Studio: "I was lucky because I was a teenager with some training (he had been attending the Piven theatre workshop for many years) and they started making films about teenagers and they started doing them in chicago." hossman (talk) 16:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Cusack being a puppeteer

I removed the claim that Cusack is a puppeteer. I think this confusion has arisen because Cusack plays the role of a puppeteer who discovers a tunnel that allows others to enter John Malkovich's mind in the movie Being John Malkovich. This does not necessarily mean that he is a puppeteer.OnBeyondZebrax • TALK 23:33, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's with all the superfluous "quotes"?

"too much fire in his belly"? -what does this even mean? "Cusack is a fan of both the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox, for which he says he is "in trouble" in Chicago." -"in trouble" how? Probablynoteworthy (talk) 01:21, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
