In the fall semester of 1972 a young man from Benton came to Eastern Illinois University.That man would leave the following spring semester of 1975 without an Eastern degree. He now is the subject of a new movie and has garnered one of the most mysterious personas ever to come out of Hollywood.The man is John Gavin Malkovich, the movie is “Being John Malkovich” and the question is: what was he like at school? “I thought he was cool. He looked unusual, he had long hair, bell- bottoms, platform shoes,” said J. Sain, fellow actor and a friend of Malkovich when he was at Eastern. Sain currently is the Theatre Arts business manager. Sain said Malkovich would play coffee houses with an acoustic gui- tar. He remembers seeing Malkovich play a rendition of “Stairway to Heaven” at Carman Hall and at a bar and pizza joint called Wits End. “It was a little solo act – part of his being cool,” he said. However, most people thought he was “a little offbeat,” Sain said. “He was so different. He stood out.” John Malkovich is known to be one of the creepiest actors; it is a personality trait given to him after movies like “In the Line of Fire” and being surrounded by rumors such as his cursing out of a teach- er as a child for losing an Easter egg hunt. Sain said Malkovich isn’t bizarre despite the typecasting. It is just something he developed and he picked creepy roles to perform. “It is one of his traits,” he said. Theater professor Clarence Blanchette, who had Malkovich in class, said he thinks Malkovich first discovered his off-beat niche when he performed in the play “The Birthday Party” at Eastern. “That unlocked who he was going to be; a creepy psychotic, but you weren’t sure why,” he said. Malkovich has made 42 films in a career that is still young. His movies include such hits as “The Killing Fields,” “Of Mice and Men” (he was Lenny), “Rounders,” “Heart of Darkness,” “Death of a Salesman,” “Dangerous Liaisons” and, now,“Being John Malkovich,” a movie that fictionalizes what it would be like to be in Malkovich’s head, mainly because he seems so darn weird. But the man is normal. “He was likable,” said English Professor Ted Quinn, who had Malkovich in a film class studying Italian director Federico Fellini. Quinn said Malkovich isn’t odd in any way, but maybe a little egotis- tical. Malkovich earned a “B” in the course and Quinn said he was a lit- tle naive in his interpretations on Fellini. “He had the brains, but he didn’t put in the energy,” Quinn said. Blanchette had Malkovich in a theatrical set design class and said Malkovich wanted nothing to do with the class. “He wasn’t one to roll up his sleeves,” Blanchette said. Malkovich was an actor. “Everything else was less to him,” he said. “He had an immense confidence in himself. He was the most confident, least self-doubting student that might have come through here, or at least was vocal about it.” He may have been the most confident, but he wasn’t the most tal- ented. “He stood out as a personality,” Blanchette said. “I wouldn’t say he’s the best actor.” Sain said Malkovich had a confidence when he was on stage. “He had charisma, a stage presence that a lot of people didn’t have,” Sain said. But as far as becoming a huge film actor, Sain said,“I think he was in the right place at the right time.” Malkovich was inspired to start acting by a girlfriend named seesee MalkMalkoovich,vich, pagepage 3b3b V2b friday, november 5, 1999 On theVERGE of theWeekend Life, campus, Hollywood
