Nick Nolte |

Broadcast Premiere March 30, 2003
on BRAVO TV
A Hollywood heavyweight, Nick Nolte has spent the last
decade pursuing roles not for the money, but for the
love of the script. PSF portrays his life and career
in this one-hour documentary.
Nolte is considered by many of his colleagues to
be an actor with integrity. It's an apt description.
And it's vital to understanding him. But there are
many other words just as important and equally apt.
Words like obsessive, generous, demanding, funny,
volatile, intelligent, tireless, artistic, sensitive,
argumentative, gracious, extreme, likable and reclusive.
And this is how he's presented - not in black and
white, but in all his shades of gray. The bottom line
is: Nick Nolte is simply 100% actor.
Pacific Street principals Joe Sucher and Steve Fischler
first met Nick on the set of Scorsese's "Cape Fear,"
in 1991, while filming a Cinemax documentary on Jessica
Lange. They soon were drawn to Nick's easy manner
both on and off set. In 1996, they interviewed Nick
for a Paramount profile of legendary director Sidney
Lumet.
Nick Nolte is a complex man and, no doubt, a versatile
actor. Through interviews and clips, Pacific Street
paints a portrait of the man that film critic Pauline
Kael once called a "Clark Gable with an anguished
soul. " But whatever character Nolte decides to tackle,
he certainly approaches it with devastatingly serious
intent, and for that reason, he's certainly become
one of Hollywood's "larger than life" celebrities.
"Bravo Profile Nick Nolte" is a Pacific Street Films'
production for the Bravo
Cable Network.
