John Travolta

John Travolta is undoubtedly one of the most prolific actors of our time -- or any time for that matter. In a career that spans three decades, Travolta has distinguished himself in film, stage and television performances -- as well as recording a number of successful record albums. John has successfully managed to avoid being typecast -- the bane of many other successful actors. First coming to national prominence in the TV sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter", John could have easily become trapped in the role of Vinnie Barbarino -- the leader of the "Sweathogs." That didn't happen -- primarily because John Travolta vaulted to Super-Stardom in the film "Saturday Night Fever." It would have been all-too-easy for Travolta to become locked into this role, as well. But Travolta wasn't about to let himself become enmeshed in any role or genre. His fans have watched him emerge as a wise-talking angel, a psychotic air-force pilot, a telekinetic individual, a senator chasing the presidency, a slow-witted museum guard, a white man trying to survive in a black dominated world. He has been a spy, an evil space alien and a hit-man. Travolta's versatility is demonstrated by a string of successful comedy, drama, action and musical roles.
