He is a three-time Emmy Award and Tony Award winner known for his roles on stage and screen. He has been hailed for his forceful, militant, and authoritative characters in his films.[2] He is known for playing Morpheus in The Matrix series (1999–2003), Jason "Furious" Styles in the John Singleton drama film Boyz n the Hood (1991), Tyrone "Mr. Clean" Miller in Francis Ford Coppola's war film Apocalypse Now (1979), and "The Bowery King" in the John Wick film series (2017–present).
Fishburne was born in Augusta, Georgia, the son of Hattie Bell (née Crawford), a junior high school mathematics and science teacher, and Laurence John Fishburne, Jr., a juvenile corrections officer.[3] After his parents divorced during his childhood, he moved with his mother to Brooklyn, New York, where he was raised. His father saw him once a month.[4][5] Fishburne is a graduate of Lincoln Square Academy in New York, which closed in the 1980s.[6]
Career
1972–1989
For most of his early career, he was credited as Larry Fishburne. In 1972, at the age of 11, Fishburne received positive reviews for his first acting role[7] in the initial ABC Theater teleplay If You Give a Dance You Gotta Pay the Band.[8][9][10] Soon after, Fishburne portrayed Joshua Hall on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live.[11] His most memorable childhood role was in Cornbread, Earl and Me,[12] in which he played a young boy who witnessed the police shooting of a popular high school basketball star. He later earned a supporting role in Apocalypse Now, in which he played Tyrone Miller, a cocky 17-year-old Gunner's Mate 3rd Class from the Bronx, nicknamed Mr. Clean. When production began in March 1976, he was just 14 years old, having lied about his age to get the part. Filming took so long that he actually was 17 years old upon its completion.[11][13]
Fishburne provided the voice of Thrax in Osmosis Jones in 2001. He reprised his role as Morpheus in the Matrix sequels The Matrix Reloaded,[30] and The Matrix Revolutions in 2003.[31] He briefly featured as a stretcher-bearer in one version of the video for The Spooks' song "Things I've Seen" (2000) and appeared with Tom Cruise as Theodore Brassell, IMF superior of Cruise's character in Mission: Impossible III.[32] Fishburne has worked with actress Angela Bassett on four projects. He said that "An electrifying thing happens when the two of us work together. I haven't experienced it with anyone else. A freedom happens when we work together."[33] In 2006, they appeared onstage in a Pasadena Playhouse production of August Wilson's Fences.[34] Fishburne also played a gay high school teacher in a Los Angeles production of Alfred Uhry'sWithout Walls in the same year.[35] He played terrorist leader, Ahmat who was revealed to be CIA in the 2006 film Five Fingers.[36]
He provided the voice of the narrator in the 2007 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, TMNT, which was a commercial success.[37] The same year, he provided the voice of the Silver Surfer in 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.[38] On February 24, 2007, Fishburne was honored with the Harvard Foundation's Artist of the Year award at the annual show Cultural Rhythms.[39] He received this honor for his achievements as an actor and entertainer and for his humanitarian pursuits. Fishburne is a UNICEF ambassador.[40]
On August 18, 2008, it was reported that Laurence Fishburne would join the cast of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation after William Petersen, who played Gil Grissom, left the series. John Malkovich was also considered for the role prior to the announcement.[44] Fishburne joined the show on the ninth episode of the 9th season as a college professor and former pathologist whose area of expertise involves some criminals' predisposition to commit acts of violence.[45] The character was introduced as a consultant on a case ("19 Down"), who winds up joining the CSI team ("One to Go"). In May 2009, Fishburne performed on-stage in the National Memorial Day Concert on the Mall in Washington, D.C.[46]
Fishburne starred in Predators in 2010[47] and Contagion in 2011.[48] On June 7, 2011, Fishburne announced that he was leaving CSI to return to movies and theatre, opting not to renew his contract and would not appear in Season 12. Fishburne played Perry White in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot Man of Steel (2013).[49] In 2013, Fishburne joined the cast of Hannibal, as Dr. Jack Crawford, head of Behavioral Sciences at the FBI. In 2014, Fishburne reprised his role as Morpheus in a series of KiaK900 commercials.[50] In 2015, Fishburne joined the ABC sitcom Black-ish in the recurring role of Pops; Fishburne is also an executive producer on the show.[51] Fishburne also serves as an executive producer for the Freeform sitcom Grown-ish, a spin-off series to Black-ish.[52]
In January 2023, it was announced that Fishburne had been cast as Regis in the fourth season of The Witcher.[59] He will also be starring in the American espionage thriller, The Amateur, set for debut in 2025.[60]
Personal life
Fishburne married actress Hajna O. Moss in 1985,[3] in New York. They have two children, son Langston (born 1987)[3] and daughter Montana Fishburne (born 1991).[3][61][62] Hajna and Laurence divorced in the 1990s.[6]
Fishburne and actress Gina Torres got engaged in February 2001 and got married on September 22, 2002,[64] at the Cloisters, a museum in New York City. On January 8, 2007, Fishburne's spokesman Alan Nierob announced that the couple were expecting a child together.[65][66] Their daughter, Delilah, was born in June 2007.[67]
