 After appearing in low-budget horror films throughout the 1960s, Nicholson's breakthrough role came in 1969's road movie Easy Rider. It was a supporting performance that would cement him as a leading figure of New Hollywood: a cinematic movement of artistic, passionate, yet wholly unconventional filmmaking championed by young actors, directors, and artists of the time. Over the next 40 years, Nicholson dominated the silver screen from career-defining roles in The Shining and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, to the charging performances in As Good as it Gets and The Departed, he has a filmography unrivalled in quality and depth. We lucky fans have been treated to a lifetime of work by an actor who continues to surprise and excel to this day.
