Jack Nicholson

Gerçek adı John Joseph Nicholson olan ünlü Amerikalı aktör. Katolik olarak yetiştirilmiştir. Çocukluğunda büyük anne ve büyük babasını, annesi ve babası sanmıştır. Arkadaşının ölümünden itibaren yastığının altında bir çekiç ile uyumuştur.

 Sıkı bir LA Lakers taraftarı olduğu bilinir. 1994 yılında Amerika Film Enstitüsünden Ömür Boyu Başarı ödülünü almış ve bu ödülü alan en genç oyuncu ünvanını kazanmıştır. İki kez en iyi oyuncu seçilmiştir. 3 Oskar sahibidir, 3 Oskar'a sahip tek -erkek- isim denebilir.

The Shining(1980) de Jack Torrance karakteriyle hafızama kazınan bir isim olmuştur. Tim Burton'un Batman'in(1989) de Joker karakterini de başarıyla canlandırmıştır. Gelmiş geçmiş en iyi oyunculardan biridir şüphesiz. Her oynadığı rolde kendinden bir parça katan efsane oyuncudur.
