One of Hollywood's most successful leading actors in the 1990s, Keanu was responsible for some of the decades biggest blockbusters in
Point Break,
Speed and
The Matrix. Despite his obvious good looks, Keanu's minimalistic acting style allows audiences to project an everyman quality to him on the screen.
During try outs for the parts of Bill and Ted, each actor was paired up with another. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter were paired up, Reeves trying out for the part of Bill while Winter tried out for the part of Ted. They were cast opposite what they auditioned for.
