John Paul Cusack (Evanston, 28 giugno 1966) è un attore, sceneggiatore e produttore cinematografico statunitense. Attore versatile, nel corso della sua carriera ha partecipato a oltre settanta film, sapendo variare il suo stile di recitazione dall'horror al thriller, alle commedie romantiche, ai drammi familiari. Ha partecipato a numerosi film di successo, sia di pubblico sia di critica e anche a numerose produzioni hollywoodiane. Nonostante le sue performance siano state apprezzate più volte dalla critica, non ha mai ricevuto una candidatura ai Premi Oscar, motivo per cui viene definito spesso come uno degli attori più sottovalutati. Tra i suoi ruoli più noti si ricordano: il giovane truffatore Roy nel film noir di successo Rischiose abitudini, le due commedie dirette da Woody Allen: Ombre e nebbia e Pallottole su Broadway, il film d'azione Con Air insieme a Nicolas Cage, la black comedy L'ultimo contratto, l'ossessivo burattinaio nella commedia Essere John Malkovich, l'infelice proprietario di un negozio di dischi in Alta fedeltà per il quale si aggiudica una nomination ai Golden Globe come miglior attore protagonista e una ai premi BAFTA come miglior sceneggiatura non originale, il guidatore di limousine Edward Dakota nell'horror psicologico Identità, uno dei giurati nel legal thriller La giuria con Gene Hackman e Dustin Hoffman, un padre vedovo nel dramma on the road Grace Is Gone, lo scrittore Mike Einslein nell'horror psicologico 1408 con Samuel L. Jackson, Jackson Curtis nel film catastrofico di Roland Emmerich 2012 con Woody Harrelson, il serial killer Robert Hansen ne Il cacciatore di donne con Nicolas Cage, e Brian Wilson nel film biografico Love & Mercy con Paul Dano.
