For two decades, BIOGRAPHY® has made TV history. A&E's evergreen series draws on unflinching interviews, rare footage, private photographs and much more to reveal the great stories behind the great lives, painting true-to-life portraits of the men and women who have left indelible marks on our history, culture and heritage.

With the charisma of a leading man and the range of a character actor, Russell Crowe never fails to deliver an intense and moving performance. He has mesmerized American audiences since 1997's L.A. Confidential with an uninterrupted string of critical and popular successes. There seems to be no acting challenge he won't accept, whether whistle-blowing research chemist, deranged mathematician, underdog boxer, or Roman general, and his portrayals are always compelling.

In this hour, get to know this outspoken, uncompromising man. Follow the career that started, long before Hollywood called, on the small stages and screens of Australia and his native New Zealand. Watch as he ascends to the heights of international fame, while maintaining his individuality and independence.

The beloved outsider - he has said he'd be happy to live in Los Angeles only after New Zealand, Australia, Europe and Africa are all destroyed - refuses anyone else's terms but his own. See for yourself how Crowe throws himself into everything he does: his work, his family, his partying. He has named his public persona the "wild man," and his recent legal troubles in New York City for assaulting a hotel concierge attest to his passionate nature. But family life - a wife and two young sons at home in Australia - has tempered his wild streak, and the future looks even brighter for this magnetic actor.
