biography:
Michael Bakari Jordan (/bɑːˈkɑːri/ bah-KAR-ee; born February 9, 1987) is an American actor, producer, and director. His accolades include an Academy Award, three Actor Awards, and a Producers Guild Award, in addition to nominations for a British Academy Film Award, a Golden Globe Award and two Emmy Awards. Jordan was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time in 2020 and 2023, People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2020, and The New York Times ranked him 15th on its list of the 25 greatest actors of the 21st century.

Jordan initially broke out in television, playing Wallace in the first season of the HBO crime drama series The Wire (2002). He starred in the ABC soap opera All My Children (2003–2006) and the NBC sports drama series Friday Night Lights (2009–2011). He later starred in and produced the HBO television film Fahrenheit 451 (2018), for which he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.

Jordan's film breakthrough came as Oscar Grant in Ryan Coogler's biopic Fruitvale Station (2013), for which his performance received critical praise. He earned further acclaim for his performances in Coogler's subsequent films, including Creed (2015), Black Panther (2018), and Sinners (2025); the latter earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Jordan reprised his role of Donnie Creed in Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023), the latter of which also marked his directorial debut. His other films include Chronicle (2012), That Awkward Moment (2014), Fantastic Four (2015), and Just Mercy (2019).

Aside from filmmaking, Jordan is also a co-owner of Premier League club AFC Bournemouth.

Michael B. Jordan

biography:
Michael Bakari Jordan, 9 Şubat 1987 tarihinde Santa Ana, Kaliforniya'da dünyaya geldi ancak çocukluğunu ve ilk gençlik yıllarını Newark, New Jersey'de geçirdi. Başlangıçta oyunculuk kariyeri hedeflemese de, yerel şirketler için modellik yaparken keşfedildi ve kısa sürede küçük televizyon rolleri almaya başladı. Oyunculukla ciddi anlamda tanışması, HBO'nun kült dizisi "The Wire" (2002) ile oldu. Burada canlandırdığı genç ve trajik karakter Wallace, onun ham yeteneğini ve duygusal derinliğini erken yaşta sergilemesini sağladı. Ardından "All My Children" (2003-2006) gibi uzun soluklu dizilerde ve özellikle "Friday Night Lights" (2009-2011) dizisindeki quarterback Vince Howard rolüyle televizyondaki varlığını pekiştirdi ve daha geniş kitlelerce tanınmaya başladı.

Jordan'ın kariyerindeki asıl sıçrama, yönetmen Ryan Coogler ile güçlerini birleştirdiği 2013 yapımı bağımsız film "Fruitvale Station" (Son Durak) ile gerçekleşti. Polis şiddeti kurbanı Oscar Grant'in gerçek hayat hikayesini anlatan bu filmdeki başrol performansıyla eleştirmenlerden övgü topladı ve birçok festivalden ödülle döndü. Bu film, Jordan'ın sadece yetenekli bir oyuncu değil, aynı zamanda güçlü dramatik rollerin üstesinden gelebilen bir başrol adayı olduğunu kanıtladı ve Hollywood'daki yükselişinin fitilini ateşledi. Coogler ile kurduğu bu verimli iş birliği, kariyerinin sonraki adımlarında da belirleyici olacaktı.

"Fruitvale Station"ın başarısının ardından Jordan, Coogler ile tekrar bir araya gelerek efsanevi Rocky serisine yeni bir soluk getiren "Creed" (2015) filminde Apollo Creed'in oğlu Adonis Creed karakterine hayat verdi. Bu rol, onu uluslararası bir yıldıza dönüştürürken, hem fiziksel dönüşümü hem de karakterin duygusal yolculuğunu başarıyla yansıtmasıyla takdir kazandı. Ancak onu küresel bir fenomene taşıyan rollerden biri de yine Coogler yönetimindeki Marvel filmi "Black Panther"da (2018) canlandırdığı Erik Killmonger oldu. Filmdeki karmaşık motivasyonları ve karizmatik duruşuyla sinema tarihinin en unutulmaz kötü karakterlerinden birini yarattı ve performansıyla büyük beğeni topladı.

Oyunculuk kariyerinin yanı sıra Michael B. Jordan, sinema endüstrisinde daha fazla söz sahibi olmak amacıyla 2016'da kendi yapım şirketi Outlier Society'yi kurdu. Bu şirket aracılığıyla çeşitliliği ve yeterince temsil edilmeyen hikayeleri ön plana çıkarmayı hedefledi. Başrolünde yer aldığı ve yapımcılığını üstlendiği "Just Mercy" (2019) gibi sosyal adalet temalı filmler ve aksiyon türündeki "Without Remorse" (2021) bu vizyonun ürünleri oldu. Jordan, yeteneklerini daha da genişleterek "Creed III" (2023) filmiyle yönetmenlik koltuğuna da oturdu ve bu alandaki potansiyelini de gösterdi.

Bugün Michael B. Jordan, kuşağının en yetenekli ve çok yönlü aktörlerinden biri olarak kabul ediliyor. Hem dramatik derinliği olan karakterleri hem de fiziksel performans gerektiren aksiyon rollerini başarıyla canlandırabilmesi, onu Hollywood'un aranan isimlerinden biri yapmıştır. Yapımcı ve yönetmen kimlikleriyle de endüstrideki etkisini artıran Jordan, kariyerine hem kamera önünde hem de arkasında başarılı projelerle devam etmektedir.

Jan Hřebejk

biography:
Jan Hřebejk (Czech pronunciation: [ˈjan ˈɦr̝ɛbɛjk]; born 27 June 1967) is a Czech film director and actor. Born in Prague, Hřebejk graduated from high school in 1987 and continued his studies at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU) from 1987 to 1991, majoring in screenplay and dramaturgy. He was at FAMU alongside Petr Jarchovský, who is also his classmate from high school and subsequently a frequent collaborator as a screenwriter.

While at FAMU, Hřebejk directed and produced two short films, Co všechno chcete vědět o sexu a bojíte se to prožít (1988) and L. P. 1948 (1989),[1] from scripts written by his classmate Petr Zelenka. His professional directorial debut was a short film for Czech TV, Nedělejte nic, pokud k tomu nemáte vážný důvod (1991), also written by Zelenka. His films caught the attention of viewers and critics, and entered student film festivals.

Also while still at FAMU, Hřebejk and Jarchovský wrote a comedy screenplay inspired by Hřebejk's background at a summer camp, entitled Pejme písen dohola. This screenplay was filmed in 1990 as a full-length feature by director Ondřej Trojan. In 1992, Hřebejk filmed a version of his FAMU graduate thesis, an interpretation of Egon Hostovský's Dobrocinny vecírek.

This was followed by Big Beat, a rock and roll comedy set in the 1950s and Hřebejk's first major box office success. The film was written by Jarchovský, based on a story by Petr Šabach, and won four Czech Lion awards, including Best Film and Best Director for Hřebejk. In 1996, Hřebejk directed a children's TV series, Kde padají hvezdy, which was syndicated around Europe. The following year, Hřebejk and Jarchovský won awards from the Film and Television Association and the Literary Fund for their contribution to dramatic television programming, for three episodes they wrote for the TV series Bachelors.

The writing and production team behind Big Beat subsequently reunited for two further films, Cosy Dens (Czech: Pelíšky; 1999) and Divided We Fall (Czech: Musíme si pomáhat; 2000), both of which became enormously successful within the Czech Republic.

His 2009 film Kawasaki's Rose was selected as the Czech entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 83rd Academy Awards, but didn't make the final shortlist.
