BIOGRAPHY OF DON CHEADLE
Donald Frank Cheadle Jr. was born in 1964 in Kansas City, Missouri, from a psychologist and a teacher. His family traveled extensively when he was a child, but in 1982, after high school in Colorado, he enrolled in the acting class of the California Institute of the Arts.
He first stands out in the insane Driving School (1985) by Neal Israel, but stabilizes his career with war roles, first in Hamburger Hill: Hill 937 of John Irvin, then with Colors – War colors (1988) by Dennis Hopper, in a cast headed by Sean Penn is Robert Duvall.
While he earns a living with fleeting parts in various TV series, he remains a minor supporting actor even in the cinema, even if he crosses beautiful choral projects such as What to do in Denver when you’re dead (1995) and the noir The devil in blue (1995), starring Denzel Washington. Volcano 1997 is just an average disaster movie, while Rosewood of the same year is a dramatic historical re-enactment of an episode with a racial background, directed by the engaged John Singleton.
Things begin to change when he takes on the role of Buck in the highly acclaimed Boogie Nights (1997) of Paul Thomas Anderson. Immediately after, he joins the entourage of George Clooney participating inOut of Sight (1998) of Steven Soderbergh, a director who will help him a lot. In fact, he returns to work with him in the story set in San Diego of the award-winning Traffic (2000). Tile then Gary Sinise is Tim Robbins in the ambitious Mission to Mars (2000) by Brian De Palma.

In 2004 he starred in Rwanda hotels of Terry George, a true story strongly desired by him, also a symbol of his constant commitment to social causes.
A choral commitment very similar to those of Soderbergh it is instead with Paul Haggis for Crash – Physical contact (2004), Academy Award for Best Picture, in which he is a detective. In 2007, however, he teamed up with Adam Sandler in Reign Over Me, an independent film written and directed by Mike Binder; a poor success outside America, as indeed Speak with me (2007), where he portrays an ex-con who became a radio celebrity between the 1970s and 1980s, Ralph Greene.
A real stroke of luck has allowed him in recent years to rise to the forefront of blockbusters, when Terrence Howard he abandoned the War Machine role he had held in the first Iron Man, being replaced by Cheadle in Iron Man 2 (2010), Iron Man 3 (2013) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
In 2015 managed to fulfill his dream, making his directorial debut with Miles Ahead, biopic on jazz icon Miles Davis, played by Cheadle himself. He later collaborated with the Russo brothers for the three Avengers films, reprising the role of War Machine in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
