"To the best of my knowledge, I've tried to screw my career up as much as I possibly could, but even with all my best efforts to screw it up, I managed to have lasting friendships, and some of the best friends I've ever met in the business," Cusack said.

Cusack went on to appear in Eight Men Out, The Grifters, True Colors, the Woody Allen films Shadows and Fog and Bullets over Broadway, City Hall, Grosse Point Blank, Con Air, and Cradle Will Rock.

In 1999, Cusack starred in Being John Malkovich, whose cast received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture.
