Matthew Modine, born
March 22, 1959 in California, first popped up in
the 1980's. In addition to a few made for TV movie
roles, Modine starred in Baby It's You (1983), Private
School (1983), Streamers (1983), The Hotel New Hampshire
(1984), Birdy (1984), Mrs. Soffel (1984), Vision Quest
(1985), Full Metal Jacket (1987), Orphans (1987), The
Gamble (1988), Married to the Mob (1988), and Gross
Anatomy (1989). Modine had a very busy 1990's and
the last several years have been very fruitful for him
as well. Quick Fact: Modine turned down the
lead role in Top Gun (1986), a role that
eventually went to Tom Cruise. |
