Carier start
John Terry's acting debut took place in 1980: he played the main role in Terry Marcel’s fantastic film "The Avenger Hawk".
After Terry's first success in the cinema, the comedy There Goes the Bride followed, which did not win much popularity.
The next work of actor John Terry was the drama "Country", based on a book by Bobby Ann Mason. The film was praised by critics, but this did not help him pay back at the box office his 18 millionth budget.
Movie roles
In 1992, the actor appeared in the thriller "Risen", an adaptation of the novel by G. F. Lovecraft, "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward." The picture came out immediately on the video, because it could not boast of good box office.
In the same year, the actor played the role of Slim in the drama "On Mice and People," based on the novel of the same name. The film was the directorial debut for the actor and musician Gary Siniz and, as it turned out, very successful. Film critics described the film as a “pleasant surprise,” praising the plot, directing, and acting. For actor John Terry, it was a tremendous experience - during the filming he worked with such great actors as John Malkovich and Sherilyn Fenn.
Despite the success of the film "On Mice and People", the most famous film with the participation of John Terry was and remains the "Zodiac". It is impossible, probably, to find a spectator who would not hear about this gloomy criminal thriller about an elusive serial killer based on real events.
The main roles in the film were played by Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Jacob Gyllenhaal, and the role of the editor involved in the Zodiac game was played by John Terry. The actor, whose films had already been successful before, became even more popular. "Zodiac" quickly became a classic of the thriller genre and is considered one of the best films in the history of cinema.
