John Cusack says his turn in "The Raven" is the role of a lifetime, which is high praise considering the 45-year-old has acted in over 50 films and is attached to no fewer than seven projects in 2012 alone.
In the film, which opens today in the UK and April 23 in the States, Cusack stars as the 19th-century American poet Edgar Allan Poe. In this fictionalized version of events, Poe must scramble to stop a serial killer from taking innocent lives in the style of Poe's often macabre work.
Cusack, who won eternal fan favor with his roles in the '80s classics "Sixteen Candles" and "Say Anything" (he says he's still eager to do a sequel of the latter), told Sky News that actors dream of playing a character as complex as the infamously neurotic poet.
"There couldn't be a richer, more iconic character to play," he said. "So if I can find things like this I'm as happy as I can be."
