Jeff Bridges, Jeffrey Leon Jeff Bridges (born December 4, 1949) is an American actor and musician. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 82nd Academy Awards for his role as Bad Blake in the 2009 movie Crazy Heart. He has been called “the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor that has ever lived” by critic Pauline Kael. He embodies traits far beyond brilliance as an actor. He is an exceptional musician, a photographer, an occasional vintner and a storyteller. He hails from an illustrious Hollywood family, working as a child with his father Lloyd Bridges and brother Beau on television’s Sea Hunt. His casual, easy-going air has endeared him to audiences for almost 40 years,[citation needed] starting with 1971s The Last Picture Show. Some of his other best known movies are cult Sci-fi movie Tron, Fearless, Iron Man, Contender, TheThe Contender, Starman, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Jagged Edge, Fisher King, TheThe Fisher King, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, Seabiscuit, Tron: Legacy and the cult Coen Brothers classic The Big Lebowski. He earned his sixth Academy Award nomination & fourth Golden Globe for his portrayal of Rooster Cogburn in 2010s True Grit.
