The many faces of Russell Crowe
"Body of Lies"
He’s played tough and tender. He’s gone over the top and under the radar. From mathematician to gladiator to British swashbuckler, Russell Crowe has shown an uncanny ability to transform himself with every role.
On October 10, the metamorphosis continues, as he stars opposite Leonardo Di Caprio in “Body of Lies,” playing the head of American covert operations in the nation of Jordan. Here’s a look back through one of Hollywood’s most versatile careers. —S. James Snyder, Special to Metromix
