In 1996, Cuba was cast as an arrogant but loyal football player in the Tom Cruise-Cameron Crowe film, Jerry Maguire (1996). The film became a huge box office smash and earned Cuba an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. His "Show Me The Money" line in the movie became a nationwide catchphrase. The role elevated him to superstar status. Currently, he resides in Studio City, California with his wife, Sara, and their two sons. (Bowker Author Biography) |
