JOHN TRAVOLTA has been honored twice with Academy Award nominations, one of them for his riveting portrayal of a philosophical hit man in Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION. He also received a Golden Globe nomination for this highly acclaimed role and was named Best Actor by Los Angeles Film Critics Association, among other distinguished awards.

He was also nominated again in 1999 for a Golden Globe for his performance in PRIMARY COLORS. He previously starred in some of the most momentous films of our generation. He earned his first Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for his role in the blockbuster SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, which launched the disco phenomenon of the late 1970's. He went on to star in the mega-hit screen version of the long running musical GREASE, and the wildly successful URBAN COWBOY. Additional film credits include the Brian DePalma thriller CARRIE and BLOW OUT, as well as Amy Heckerling's hit comedy LOOK WHO'S TALKING.
