A-List Actor

 

“Pulp Fiction” may not have been big budget, but it had catapulted Travolta into an area of A-list movies with top actors. In the long string of successful films for which he was given top roles during the nineties included playing opposite Nicolas Cage as an FBI agent in the thriller, “Faceoff.”

He also played the role of a loan shark in “Get Shorty” and as an attorney in “Civil Action.” It wasn’t until the end of the nineties when John Travolta was cast as a presidential candidate who was similar in many ways to Bill Clinton in the movie “Primary Colors.” The role was demanding and challenging, and Travolta would have to make some drastic changes to his appearance to make the character believable.
