Jack Nicholson is always the coolest guy in the room, doesn't matter if he's a private investigator (Chinatown), a patient in a mental institution (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest), or the Joker (Batman 1989). With a legendary career spanning six decades and 3 Oscars, Nicholson did more than just earn awards, he set his own rules and did things his way, saying it himself that he doesn't make movies, he makes classics. He improvised some of the most memorable lines in film history, fought his way into the industry as a writer, and never hesitated to bend a script to his style. He wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed in, whether it was about the direction of a film or how his character should be portrayed. And Nicholson always became the character with an unmatched mix of charisma, intensity, and unpredictability that made each role uniquely his. In this video, we’re diving into his entire career: how he pushed for his breakthrough, how he timed it perfectly with New Hollywood, and how his improvisations and reimagining of characters helped build his legendary status. This is the story of an actor who did whatever he wanted, this is Jack Nicholson.
