A veteran actor whose career contained two seperate major peaks, John Travolta's charisma and acting chops have made him an enduring star. First breaking out into fame as the immortal Vinnie Barbarino on "Welcome Back, Kotter", Travolta went supernova with his role in the enduring 70s classics "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease."
After this remarkable success, Travolta's career slowly winded down for a few years, with somewhat of a revival with the popular "Look Who's Talking" movies. It wasn't until 1994, with "Pulp Fiction", that Travolta would go supernova again.
Following on the heels of the "Pulp Fiction" success, Travolta had major hits with "Get Shorty", "Broken Arrow" and "Face/Off."
