Actor John Cusack will be in town this fall to host an intimate screening of one of his most beloved films, “Say Anything,” at Stifel Theatre.
Cusack, one of the most accomplished actors of his generation, has appeared in numerous films spanning the course of three decades, including 1980s classics such as “The Sure Thing,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Say Anything.”
On Saturday, Oct. 28, at Stifel Theatre, Cusack will participate in a screening and discussion of the 1989 film, as well as a Q&A with the audience.
Written and directed by Cameron Crowe in his directorial debut, “Say Anything” follows the romance between teenage slacker Lloyd Dobler (Cusack) and class valedictorian Diane Court (Ione Skye) after their high school graduation. The film was ranked No. 11 among Entertainment Weekly’s list of best high school movies of all time.
Cusack was most recently seen in the Amazon’s SciFi series, “Utopia,” in which he stars as Dr. Kevin Christie, a charismatic, media-savvy and brilliant biotech mind who wants to change the world through science.
He has also starred in a wide range of dramas, thrillers and comedies, including “The Grifters,” “Eight Men Out,” “Being John Malkovich,” “High Fidelity,” “Grosse Pointe Blank” and “Love and Mercy,” in which he played Beach Boys songwriter and musician Brian Wilson.
