Claire Forlani is a famous American film and television actress. Most viewers know her from the films “Meet Joe Black” and “In the Name of the King”. The most famous project in the filmography of the actress is the historical series Camelot, in which she played with Eva Green and Jameson Purfoy.
First roles
In the feature film, Claire first appeared in 1994, playing Katrina in the comedy "Police Academy 7". Unlike previous films about the police academy, this part failed at the box office.
In 1995, the aspiring actress played along with Shannon Doherty in the comedy "Lobotryasy" by Kevin Smith. This film is also difficult to call successful - film critics did not like it and turned out to be a failure commercially.
The following year, Claire Forlani got the role of Jade Angelo in the thriller "The Rock". This role was small, but it was she who became a real breakthrough for the actress. The movie went well at the box office - with a budget of $ 75 million, box office revenues totaled 335 million. During filming, Forlani had the opportunity to work with celebrities such as Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris, as well as director Michael Bay.
Career
In 1998, Claire played the main female role in the drama "Basil", based on the novel of the same name by Wilkie Collins. In the same year, the actress played with Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt in the romantic fantasy "Meet Joe Black". The main character of the picture is the angel of death. Tired of his joyless duties, he decides to go on vacation and live among people. This bold experiment helps him find the meaning of existence and true love. The story of the tired Angel of Death, who discovered the whole spectrum of human feelings and emotions, was liked by both critics and viewers - the tape went well at the box office, collecting more than $ 140 million.

In 1999, the first black comedy “Mysterious People” appeared in the filmography of Claire Forlani. Despite the good cast, the tape failed at the box office - the box office amounted to just $ 33 million with a budget of 68 million.
In 2003, the actress played with Jackie Chan in the comedy action movie "Medallion." This film also did not gain commercial success.
The next project in Forlani’s career was the independent drama The Hooligans. Elijah Wood and Charlie Hunnam also played in the film.
In 2007, the actress received the main female role in Uwe Boll's fantasy film "In the Name of the King." Her frame partners were Hollywood stars such as Jason Stetham and Lily Sobeski. For director Uwe Boll, this was the first and last project with a big budget. The tape failed miserably at the box office, collecting only $ 11 million with a budget of $ 60 million. Despite the commercial failure and disapproval of critics, two sequels were shot, for which, however, very modest funds were allocated.
In 2008, Forlani played a small role in the drama of novice director Bailey Walsh, "Memories of a Loser." The film received mixed reviews from critics and did not gain much popularity.
This work was followed by a major role in the thriller Disappearance. Anticipating the box office failure of the tape, the producers decided to release the film immediately on DVD.
One of the latest films with Forlani’s participation is the psychological thriller The Other Me, which was released in 2013. The movie also played the star of Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner and Jonathan Rhys-Myers.
