Jeff Bridges
FILMOGRAPHY (ONLY REVIEWED ENTRIES)
His major breakthrough came with prominent youth roles in successful films such as The Last Picture Show (1971) and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974). His charming good looks made him a youth icon in the 1970s, and he transitioned into a leading man in the 1980s. Bridges continued to choose interesting roles throughout the 1990s, maintaining a solid reputation among critics, without ever reaching superstar status. He has taken on a wide variety of roles and, in recent years, has portrayed everything from the American president (The Contender) to a bowler bum in the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski.

As
the youngest of Lloyd Bridges' two acting sons, Jeff made his debut on
the big screen at the tender age of four months in The Company She Keeps
(1950). From there, this talented actor never looked back,
despite steering clear of a potential career as a child actor. However, he
was often seen on his dad's TV show "The Lloyd Bridges Show" in
the 1960s.
