Don Cheadle--Native of Kansas City

Don Cheadle, famous Hollywood on many short lists of active greats, was born in Kansas City, Missouri on November 29, 1964. Cheadle is an actor of the highest quality. He was born to a child psychologist father and a bank manager mother. They definitely were not on the poor side of things.

He had many interests as a child. Besides performing, which he started at the age of five, he was also strongly interested in Jazz music. By the time that he had graduated from high school, he had scholarships for both acting and music schools. He chose acting. It is a good thing that he did.

He is first famous for being a movie star. His hit film, Hotel Rwanda, has recently been included at #90 on AFI's 100 most inspiring films. Without question, this film is the crowning achievement of his still developing film career. The first film to feature than just a token appearance was "Hamburger Hill," a 1987 Vietnam War film that deals with an actual battle of the same name. His future seems limitless. He is also now an advocate for the ending of the actions in Darfur.

I think that Don Cheadle is a wonderful actor that does nothing but good work. I have enjoyed every single of the films that boast him in the cast. I can't wait to see what his future holds. The following is a collection of trailers and movie stills from his career.

I've seen both movies, and Crash is really good. It's one of those movies that addresses today's concerns.

That movie we saw in 5th block with him...I didn't really like it all that much. I don't think he is all that interesting.

I crashed and I felt something. LOL. I think that Hotel Rwanda looks like a sad movie.
