Overview
- Cusack, who turns 60 on June 28, is touring U.S. cinemas to speak at 25th‑anniversary screenings of High Fidelity and to meet fans.
- He has said recent years have seen him struggle to get larger projects financed and that many of his films have gone straight to streaming or home video.
- His recent screen work includes a lead in the 2025 historical film Detective Chinatown 1900 and a supporting role in the 2025 thriller Fog of War, which did not receive a German theatrical release.
- Cusack has stayed publicly vocal on politics, citing meetings with Edward Snowden, support for Bernie Sanders, a reluctant 2020 vote for Joe Biden, protests targeting Elon Musk, and statements backing Palestine.
- He told Irish broadcaster RTE he hopes to mount a sizeable film project in Ireland this summer, a move that could show whether he can fund work outside the studio system and win traditional theatrical distribution.
