Don Cheadle BiographyAcademy Award and NAACP Image award-winning actor Don Cheadle, who's known for his roles in the films "Crash," "Hotel Rwanda" and "Ocean's Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen," as well as "House of Lies," is also an activist in the fight against climate change, visiting Africa as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Program.
He believes there are valid arguments on both sides of the debate over California's Proposition 23, the ballot measure that would suspend the states landmark climate and energy law. He says it would create jobs in the clean energy economy, but would result in the loss of traditional energy jobs. But he believes the real point is that the transition to a green economy will, in fact, take place. And Americans need to decide whether they want to be leaders or play catch up -- invest in sustainability, or take what he calls the short money by maintaining an economy based on fossil fuels.
He says in his travels to Africa, he has seen what many believe to be evidence of climate change, including rising temperatures, effects on water tables, and deforestation. He says these problems are worse for people who live at or below poverty level.
Cheadle says the best way for Americans to fight these problems is to support leaders who are committed to fighting climate change and working to mitigate its effects on those who are most affected. He says people can do this by voting, organizing and coming together around the issue.

When you've spent well more than a decade interviewing celebrities, you learn how to spot the good ones — meaning the ones who will still treat you like a person when the cameras are gone and the tape recorder is off and the article is published.
Don Cheadle seems as if he’s at the end of his rope, metaphorically speaking. We’re in the Spare Room, a hybrid bar and bowling alley in the upper levels of the historic Hollywood Roosevelt hotel in Los Angeles. It’s a classic mid-century establishment, full of character and intimations of film noir mystery.
With his turn as the real-life humanitarian Paul Rusesabagina in 2004’s Hotel Rwanda, Don Cheadle earned an Academy Award nomination and further established his reputation as one of Hollywood’s most reliable actors. Cheadle’s filmography reads like a case study in character versatility. Since his debut in 1985’s Moving Violations, the actor’s choice of characters runs the gamut from guy...
He’d never make you feel bad for asking, but Don Cheadle has for a decade now been telling the same story about how he wound up directing and co-writing his first feature. In the highly unconventional biopic Miles Ahead, he plays Miles Davis (or rather the essence of Miles Davis, with the truths thrown up in the air and rearranged in the key of B-flat). When the iconic trumpeter was inducted...
