short biography
The future actor, producer and director Vernon Wells was born on December 31, 1945 in the Australian town of Rushworth, Victoria.
Already at a fairly early age, he realized that you want to connect your life with art. At the age of 14, he was a member of a music group, and after graduating from high school, he entered college at the Faculty of Telecommunications.
In the 70s, Vernon Wells worked at a quarry, then a salesman, as well as in a theater and a rock band. Thus, he changed a rather large number of jobs before finding exactly what he wanted to do.
It was only in the mid-seventies of the twentieth century that he first began appearing on TV shows and commercials, and by the end of the decade he got his first film role.
Career
His first appearance in the movie took place in 1979, when he played a small episodic role in the low-budget film "Felicity", which belongs to the artistic genre of erotic films.
Fame came to him after the role of a killer-biker in the thriller action movie “Mad Max 2” (1981). From that moment, Hollywood accepted it, and Vernon Wells (photo below) began to receive a large number of business offers. He began to act actively in various films, mainly in action films.

Then he began to appear very actively in many films, but most of his roles were insignificant or secondary. He played key roles, but not so often. But even his insignificant appearances on the screen are able to demonstrate to the audience his talent and great abilities as an actor.
Vernon Wells: movies

His career was not going through the best of times in the zero years, but after 2010, she again took off, and now he is one of the most actively acting actors in Hollywood. However, he is not among the highest paid, since he is removed mainly in the roles of episodic and secondary.
Finally
Vernon Wells is a unique actor with not only great talent, but also hard work, diligence and phenomenal performance. He simultaneously starred in several projects, and performs completely diverse roles. Not all actors are capable of this, many of whom become hostages of one role.
Success did not come to him right away, but thanks to his perseverance and acting abilities, he still maintains interest in himself from filmmakers and viewers. Not all actors of past eras are capable of this, many of which have long lost their popularity.
However, Vernon does not place at the head of all fame and universal recognition. For him, cinema is much more important, as such, as a form of art. For the sake of this, first of all, he is removed so actively. The actor wants not only to leave a mark on himself in history, but also to make an impressive contribution to cinema and culture in general. Many of his films have become truly popular and successful, and paintings such as, for example, Commando are generally a true classic of the genre.
