John Cusack is an American actor who started off as a teen idol. He then progressed into playing quirky offbeat characters in various films, including broader comedy roles.

He has appeared in such films as Better Off Dead, Say Anything, Grosse Pointe Blank, High Fidelity, Being John Malkovich and 1408.

John Cusack provides examples of the following tropes:
  • Badass: Cusack has been practicing kickboxing for 20[when?] years and has a sixth dan black belt in kickboxing from Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez's school. You do not want to mess with Cusack.
  • Old Shame: For many years, Cusack tried to pretend that Better Off Dead, the film that basically put him on the map, didn't exist. Since about 2010, though, he's been less bothered by it.
