The Dude abides, man...the Dude abides...

Called "the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor that has ever lived" Jeff Bridges has been plying his craft most of his life...Sea Hunt, The Last Picture Show in 1971 with a Best Supporting Actor nomination, Heaven's Gate, Starman, Jagged Edge, The Fisher King, Fearless, Wild Bill, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Big Lebowski, and his 2010 Oscar-winning best actor in Crazy Heart, not to mention the Coen brothers' True Grit. He is an exceptional musician, an artist, a photographer, an occasional vintner and a story teller extraordinaire.
