How an Australian Actor Became the Modern John Wayne
For playing a cowboy on several occasions and across multiple mediums, Guy Pearce should be commonly considered the modern-day John Wayne.
Born in Ely, Cambridgeshire to a Kiwi father and English mother, Guy Pearce and his family relocated to Australia when the future actor was three. Since debuting at the end of the 1980s, he's put tremendous work into various genres, like horror and science fiction. Aside from the cowboy, his greatest archetype is perhaps the soldier, with Pearce showing up in numerous war films, like Rules of Engagement (2000) and The Hurt Locker (2009).
