On December 29, 1938, actor Jonathan Vincent Voight was born in the United States.
He became well-known in the late 1960s for his Academy Award-nominated portrayal of Joe Buck, a would-be gigolo, in Midnight Cowboy (1969). He gained notoriety in Hollywood during the 1970s thanks to his roles as a businessman involved in a murder in Deliverance (1972), a paraplegic Vietnam veteran in Coming Home (1978), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor, and an impoverished former boxing champion in the remake of The Champ (1979).
Voight’s output slowed in the 1980s and the early 1990s, despite the fact that his depiction of the ruthless bank robber Oscar “Manny” Manheim in Runaway Train garnered him a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination (1985).
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he made a resurgence in Hollywood, starring alongside Sam Neill in The Rainbow Warrior (1993), a film about the French bombing of the ship of the same name in Auckland, and opposite Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in Heat (1995), a crime drama.
