Keanu Charles Reeves (pronounced /ke???nu?/ [kay-AH-noo, often mispronounced
as kee-AH-noo]; born September 2, 1964) is a Canadian-American actor, best known
for his portrayals of a spaced-out metalhead in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
(which went on to become a cult classic) and in two action movie projects that
were both financial and critical successes: the "ticking time bomb" thriller
Speed and the science fiction-action trilogy The Matrix. He has worked under
major directors, such as with Stephen Frears (in the 1988 period drama Dangerous
Liaisons); Gus Van Sant (in the gritty 1991 independent film My Own Private Idaho
(also written by Van Sant)); and Bernardo Bertolucci (in the 1993 film Little
Buddha). His role as a rookie FBI agent in the 1991 surf drama Point Break
(opposite Patrick Swayze) was praised by The New York Times critic Janet Maslin,
who stated that Reeves "...displays considerable discipline and range."
In addition to his film roles, Reeves has also performed in theater.
His performance in the title role in a Manitoba Theatre Centre production of
Hamlet was praised by Roger Lewis, the Sunday Times, who called Reeves "...one of
the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he * is* Hamlet."
On January 31, 2005, Reeves received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In an
ET online survey in 2006, he was included in the "Top Ten of America's Favorite
Stars".
