Bio credit [edited] IMDB: Russell Ira Crowe was born April 7, 1964 in Wellington, New Zealand, to Jocelyn Yvonne Wemyss and John Alexander Crowe, both of whom catered movie sets.

Crowe's family moved to Australia and Russell got the acting bug as a child star on a local Australian TV show, Russell's first big break came with two films ... the first, Romper Stomper (1992), gained him a name throughout the film community in Australia. The second, The Sum of Us (1994), helped put him on the American map, so to speak. Sharon Stone heard of him from Romper Stomper (1992) and wanted him for her film, The Quick and the Dead (1995). With The Quick & the Dead (1995) under his belt as his first American film, the second was offered to him soon after. Virtuosity (1995), starring Denzel Washington, put Russell in the body of a Virtual Serial Killer. Virtuosity (1995), a Sci-Fi extravaganza, was a fun film and led to L.A. Confidential (1997), he then signed to do his first film with The Walt Disney Company, Mystery, Alaska (1999). He achieved even more success and awards for his performances in Gladiator (2000) & A Beautiful Mind (2001).
