John Cusack is coming to Arizona for a screening of one of the Top 5 Movies Ever Set Primarily in a Record Store.
Chandler Center for the Arts will host “An Evening with John Cusack,” which includes a screening of the beloved 2000 movie “High Fidelity” on Friday, Nov. 17.
Cusack earned a nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy at the 2001 Golden Globe Awards for his portrayal of Rob Gordon, a romantically challenged music nerd who can’t stop making Top 5 lists.

What John Cusack will be doing at ‘High Fidelity’ screening in Chandler
Cusack will take the stage at Chandler Center for the Arts to have a conversation with the audience and answer questions after a screening of director Stephen Frears’ comedy based on a British novel of the same name by the great Nick Hornby.
Cusack will share stories from across his career, including the Rob Reiner classic “The Sure Thing” and his boombox-rocking portrayal of Lloyd Dobler in the John Hughes hit “Say Anything” to “The Grifters” and “Being John Malkovich.”
He’ll also give a behind-the-scenes look into his role in “High Fidelity.”
