UP THE NOLTE

Series Site

With his instantly recognizable wry, gravelly creak of a voice, Nick Nolte has been an effortlessly compelling screen presence from his early appearances as a shaggy golden boy in the 1970s to his latter days’ accumulation of life-marred gravity. A former three-sport college athlete, in the ’80s Nolte emerged as a genuine marquee star, equally excellent in action-comedy blockbusters (48 Hrs.), gruesome thrillers (Cape Fear), and gritty psychodramas (Affliction). A survey of Nolte in all his seasons, from blonde insouciance to gray imminence, and everything in-between.
