Editor's Note: In some of the classic movies we're familiar with, we can always remember a person for a character. Not only are they limited to those highly popular A-list movie stars, even those actors who play supporting roles in obscurity, when the movie picture is frozen in a certain frame, their appearance is firmly remembered by the audience. Do you remember daniel Jackson, the accurate sniper in the war movie Saving Private Ryan? The final shot at the top of the tower is still fresh in people's minds, and his tragic ending is also lamentable. Today we will meet barry Pepper, the actor of the sharpshooter, an obscure actor of the acting school.
Twenty-two years ago, a World War II war film directed by Steven Spielberg and co-starring Tom Hanks and Matt Damon was released. While truly reproducing the brutal war scenes of the Allied forces at the time of the Normandy landings, the film gave us the most realistic and vivid human touch and gained excellent reputation.
The year after the film's release, at the 71st Academy Awards season, "Saving Private Ryan" received 11 nominations, including best director and best actor, and finally Steven Spielberg won the best director award for this film. Although Tom Hanks rubbed shoulders with the Oscar "Little Golden Man", captain Miller, played by him, touched many people.
In an 8-man squad led by Tom Hanks, left-handed "sniper" Barry Pepper distinguishes himself from his classic moves of reciting the Bible and kissing the cross before each shooting, and he also shines on the big screen with the role of sharpshooter.
More than 20 years later, is Barry Pepper doing well?
On September 12 last year, a disaster thriller called "Storm of Giant Crocodiles" landed in mainland theaters. The film tells the story of a father and daughter trapped in a basement and in crisis caused by a super hurricane, and finally escape from the mouth of a ferocious crocodile.
Under the self-written and self-directed director Alexander Ajia, he deliberately created a thrilling and exciting atmosphere of the crocodile war, and under the warm affection of the father and daughter, staged a scene in which the frustrated daughter crocodile saved her father.
Fans who have seen this movie have found out that the actor who played the role of his father "David" is no one else, it is Barry Pepper, who played the accurate sniper "Jackson" in "Saving Private Ryan". Unconsciously, at the age of 50, he can only take on such uncle-level roles, after all, he is no longer young.
From a heroic warrior who went to rescue others, to now "fallen" to an old father waiting to be rescued by others, this huge gap in big-screen roles not only makes people lament the ruthlessness of time. Although he has lost the scenery of his youth, Barry Pepper has won the recognition of many Hollywood directors for his pragmatic attitude.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > is not a first-line star, but the supporting roles he has created are very eye-catching</h1>
After Barry Pepper entered the film and television circle, because he did not have a very broad network of contacts and was not from a science class, he could only make cameo roles in some film and television dramas. Many people don't know that in the james Cameron movie "Titanic", Barry Pepper made a cameo appearance as a crew member who stepped forward in a time of crisis to cut off electricity.
Since then, his film career has been in a state of undeterred. Until "Saving Private Ryan" brought him a lot of popularity. However, at that time, Barry Pepper's reputation was not up to the star level, at most an actor who worked hard to shoot.
Subsequently, whether in some popular movies or independently produced TV series, we still often see some small supporting roles played by Barry Pepper. His drama path is too bland, and he has not made him an overnight hit film work, and can only be mixed in some inconspicuous roles.
With Barry Pepper's current media exposure, he is not yet a mainstream star in Hollywood. Even so, he still likes to perform, and sometimes he is very eager to steal the scene. He has participated in many well-received works such as "Enemy of the People" and "Miracle in the Green", but unfortunately he played some supporting roles.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > cold face can hardly hide the warm affinity, this is a different Barry Pepper</h1>
In the eyes of ordinary people, Barry Pepper's appearance is somewhat strange, the angular facial contours, the sexy and seductive and slightly drooping corners of the mouth, sharply revealing a fierce pair of eyes, between the two eyebrows that are not obvious, giving him a temperament that is different from ordinary people. It's rare to see Barry Pepper with long curly hair, so he's still pretty handsome.
Many people see Barry Pepper on the big screen, and feel that he always gives people the same facial expression, and his smile is rarely seen on his cold face. He was not a comedian, and his serious and serious temperament gave him the illusion of arrogance. He came from playing small characters, and the roles of these roles are relatively single, and it is difficult to make adjustments in the long run.
Don't look at Barry Pepper's frequent appearances in some cold and taciturn roles, but in private interviews with the media, he shows a very affinity. Not stuck to a certain way of expression, it is rare to show a pleasant smile between words. In addition to his grim countenance, his deep and sharp eyes were also very lethal. In summary, Barry Pepper is still very characteristic, so that people can recognize it at first glance.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the role of "Sniper" in "Saving Private Ryan" is too eye-catching, he is an obscure acting school</h1>
Many people know Barry Pepper in the war film "Saving Private Ryan" starring Tom Hanks, and his role as a very stylish sharpshooter Jackson has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In many of the film's scenes, Barry Pepper impressed fans from the sniper rifle position, the action of aiming his eyes, and the iconic prayer before shooting.
Sniper Daniel Jackson seems to be a character tailor-made for him, and in many ways his temperament is close to that of Barry Pepper himself. Later, in war movies such as "The Banner of the Father's Generation" and "We Were Once Warriors", we often see him.
In addition to dabbling in war movies, Barry Pepper also experimented with real-life family movies. In 2010, he starred with Mira Sorvino in a film about fighting for custody of children, Dust of Dandelion. In this film, Barry Pepper plays a destitute father, Rip, who, after his release from prison, tries his best to obtain custody of his own son.
In this heart-warming and socially charged film, Barry Pepper is full of drama. In war films, his marksmanship is always accurate, and in the emotional scenes, his performance is equally wonderful and not degraded. This film changed his traditional big-screen image and wrote an impressive stroke for his acting career.
Since 2015, Barry Pepper has starred in the role of "Vince" in the sci-fi adventure films "Moving Labyrinth 2" and "Moving Labyrinth 3". In this role of both good and evil, he began to experiment with the style of the villain. The bearded shape and the fierce style have the momentum and style of a leader.
Although he has starred in many movies, Barry Pepper has not been able to catch fire, and most of the time he can only continue to compete on the big screen as a supporting role. Although he is not a first-line star, he is an obscure acting actor. Known for playing supporting roles, he can cope with it even if he takes over the male lead.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > a natural supporting role temperament, and his thick and thin acting skills have made him stand firm in the film and television circle</h1>
Many actors, in the development of the acting career to a certain extent, there will be a bottleneck period, have to seek transformation. For Barry Pepper, there were no big ups and downs in his acting career, he came all the way through it so plainly. Although he is in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, he can always find his own place with some eye-catching supporting roles.
Looking at Barry Pepper's performance resume, there is no shortage of successful works such as "Enemy of the Nation", "Miracle in the Green", "Earth Thunder", and has also cooperated with well-known male stars such as Will Smith and Tom Hanks. Although his fame is not very great, there are also times when he is eye-catching, just as there are times when the corners of his slightly downward mouth are charming.
Barry Pepper, the actor who is not good-looking, but easy for the audience to remember, after experiencing highlight moments and a long silence, with his thick and thin acting skills, can he usher in the second spring of his acting career? I hope so.
