JEFFREY WRIGHT plays Felix Leiter, a CIA agent who offers to help Bond buy back into the game.
Wright won international acclaim for his haunting performance in the title role of Basquiat, Julian Schnabel’s film about the unknown street artist who took the New York art world by storm but ultimately paid the price of fame with his life.
In 1994, he won the Tony Award for his performance in the stage version of “Angels in America: Perestroika” and, in 2003, won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his supporting role in the TV miniseries of “Angels in America.”
For his performance as Martin Luther King in the television biopic “Boycott,” he won the American Film Institute Actor of the Year Award, and on stage he recently received a Tony Award nomination in the critically acclaimed “Top Dog, Underdog.”
Recent films include the Academy Award® winner Syriana directed by Stephen Gaghan, Jim Jarmusch’s Broken Flowers and Jonathan Demme’s The Manchurian Candidate. Earlier this year he starred in M. Night Shyamalan’s Lady in the Water and will next be seen in The Visiting for director Oliver Hirschbiegel, in which he stars opposite Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig.
