Irving Rameses Rhames ({{IPAc-en|'|r|eɪ|m|z}} {{respell|RAYMZ}}; born May 12, 1959) is an American actor. He is best known for portraying IMF Agent Luther Stickell in the Mission: Impossible film series (1996–2025) and crime boss Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction (1994).
Early life and education
Rhames was born and raised in Harlem, New York City.[https://web.archive.org/web/20130726010427/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/nypost/access/813477951.html?dids=813477951:813477951&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+20%2C+2005&author=ADAM+BUCKMAN&pub=New+York+Post&desc=WHO+LOVES+YA%2C+BABY%3F+%27KOJAK%27S%27+BACK+-+AND+THIS+TIME%2C+HE%27S+BLACK&pqatl=google WHO LOVES YA, BABY? 'KOJAK'S' BACK – AND THIS TIME, HE'S BLACK] He was named "Irving" after NBC journalist Irving R. Levine.[https://web.archive.org/web/20100825125319/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4569728/ Newsmakers – Newsweek Entertainment – MSNBC.com]
Rhames entered New York's High School of Performing Arts, where he developed his love of acting. After high school, he studied drama at SUNY Purchase, where fellow acting student Stanley Tucci gave him his nickname "Ving". Rhames later transferred to the Juilliard School's Drama Division (Group 12: 1979–1983){{cite web|url=http://www.juilliard.edu/alumni/news/news_decades/2009-2010/1004/index.php|title=Alumni News|publisher=The Juilliard School|date=April 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111111120938/http://juilliard.edu/alumni/news/news_decades/2009-2010/1004/index.php|archive-date=November 11, 2011}} where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1983.{{cite web|url=http://movies.nytimes.com/person/59836/Ving-Rhames/biography|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071125002437/http://movies.nytimes.com/person/59836/Ving-Rhames/biography|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 25, 2007|department=Movies & TV Dept.|work=The New York Times|first=Sandra|last=Brennan|date=2007|title=Ving Rhames|access-date=April 4, 2012}}
Career
Rhames first appeared on Broadway in the play The Boys of Winter in 1984. He started out in film in Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs (1991) as Leroy, watched over Kevin Kline as Secret Service agent Duane Stevensen in Dave (1993), and played Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction (1994). He also played Buddy Bragg in Out of Sight (1998).
Rhames played Dr. Peter Benton's brother-in-law on the TV medical drama ER, a recurring role he filled for three seasons. He played ace computer hacker Luther Stickell opposite Tom Cruise in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible (1996). In 1997, Rhames portrayed the character of Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones in the popular film Con Air, and Muki in the Ice Cube film Dangerous Ground.
Rhames won a Golden Globe in 1998 for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film in HBO's Don King: Only in America. At the ceremony he gave his award to fellow nominee Jack Lemmon, saying, "I feel that being an artist is about giving, and I'd like to give this to you." Lemmon was clearly touched by the gesture as was the celebrity audience who gave Lemmon a standing ovation. Lemmon, who tried unsuccessfully to give the award back to Rhames, said it was "one of the nicest, sweetest moments I've ever known in my life." The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced later that they would have a duplicate award prepared for Rhames. That moment was #98 on E!'s 101 Awesome Moments in Entertainment.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IlcS25xYsC4C&q=golden+globe+black+actor&pg=PA187|title=Black masculinity and the U.S. South: from Uncle Tom to gangsta|isbn=978-0-8203-2890-4|publisher=University of Georgia Press|year=2007|first=Riché|last=Richardson|access-date=February 24, 2011|archive-date=May 13, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230513164547/https://books.google.com/books?id=IlcS25xYsC4C&q=golden+globe+black+actor&pg=PA187|url-status=live}}{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Fe6z86wQD_YC&q=golden+globe+&pg=PA107|title=Diasporic Lives: Alienation and Violence as Themes in African American Jamaican Cultural Texts|isbn=978-3-643-10574-5|publisher=LIT Verlag Münster|year=2010|first=Marlene|last=Calvin|access-date=February 24, 2011|archive-date=May 8, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230508011852/https://books.google.com/books?id=Fe6z86wQD_YC&q=golden+globe+&pg=PA107|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Gerston|first=Jill|url=http://movies.nytimes.com/person/59836/Ving-Rhames/biography|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130726012132/http://movies.nytimes.com/person/59836/Ving-Rhames/biography|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 26, 2013|department=Movies & TV Dept.|work=The New York Times|date=2013|title=Ving Rhames – About This Person|access-date=February 24, 2011}} The New York Times lauded Rhames for the act, writing that in doing so he "demonstrated his capacity for abundant generosity".
Rhames appeared in Striptease (1996) as the wisecracking bodyguard Shad, Jesus-praising paramedic Marcus in Bringing Out the Dead (1999), and reprised his Luther Stickell role for Mission: Impossible 2 (2000). He played Johnnie Cochran in American Tragedy (2000), the ex-con boyfriend of Jody's mother in the John Singleton film Baby Boy, portrayed a gay drag queen in the television film Holiday Heart, contributed his voice for the character of Cobra Bubbles in Lilo & Stitch (2002) and the subsequent TV series, and played a stoic cop fighting zombie hordes in Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Day of the Dead (2008) remakes. Rhames has also appeared in a series of television commercials for RadioShack, usually performing with Vanessa L. Williams.
In March 2005, Rhames played the lead role on a new Kojak series, on the USA Network cable channel (and on ITV4 in the UK). The bald head, lollipops, and "Who loves ya, baby?" catchphrase remained intact, but little else remained from the Telly Savalas-starring original.
Rhames voiced the part of Tobias Jones in the video game Driver 3.
Reprising his Luther Stickell role, Rhames co-starred in Mission: Impossible III (2006), had a cameo appearance in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), and played a major role in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025), the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth installments in the Mission Impossible film series, respectively.{{cite news|title=Ving Rhames Returns for Mission: Impossible 5|url=http://www.superherohype.com/news/312893-ving-rhames-returns-for-mission-impossible-5|access-date=August 17, 2014|publisher=www.superherohype.com|date=August 17, 2014|archive-date=August 19, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140819090253/http://www.superherohype.com/news/312893-ving-rhames-returns-for-mission-impossible-5|url-status=live}} He is the only actor besides Tom Cruise to appear in all eight Mission: Impossible films. It was announced that he would have a role in the Aquaman-based show Mercy Reef; however, due to the integration of The WB and UPN for the new network, CW, Mercy Reef was not picked up. Rhames played a gay – and possibly also homicidal – firefighter who comes out of the closet in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. He narrates the BET television series American Gangster.
In the 2008 film Saving God, he played an ex-con who is released from prison a changed man, looking to take over his father's former church congregation in a deteriorating neighborhood. Rhames stars in Phantom Punch, a biopic of boxer Sonny Liston, released directly to DVD, as well as The Tournament, portraying a fighter out to win a no-rules tournament.
Rhames makes an appearance in Ludacris's song "Southern Gangstas" on his album Theater of the Mind. Rappers Playaz Circle and Rick Ross are also featured on the track.
He filmed the film The Red Canvas with Ernie Reyes Jr., UFC lightweight contender Gray Maynard, and Randy Couture. In 2010, he filed a lawsuit against the film's producer,[http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/20/ving-rhames-lawsuit-sued-money-red-canvas-kenneth-chamitoff/ Ving Rhames to Producer: Do I Look Like a Bitch?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100323184814/http://www.tmz.com/2010/02/20/ving-rhames-lawsuit-sued-money-red-canvas-kenneth-chamitoff |date=March 23, 2010 }}.
