MiniBio

Back in the 1980s, Huey Lewis was everywhere—and for good reason. As the frontman of Huey Lewis and the News, he brought a smooth, soulful energy to a string of pop-rock hits that defined a generation. Songs like the No. 1 smashes “Power of Love,” “Stuck with You,” and “Jacob’s Ladder” weren’t just chart-toppers—they became anthems. And let’s not forget the Top 10 standouts like “I Want a New Drug,” “If This Is It,” and “The Heart of Rock & Roll,” each one stamped with that unmistakable Huey Lewis sound.

But before all the fame, Huey Lewis and his bandmates had been grinding it out in the San Francisco music scene for over ten years. They’d built up serious experience, paying their dues night after night. Their first real taste of chart success came in 1982 with “Do You Believe in Love,” but the true breakthrough arrived just a year later with the release of Sports in 1983. That album? It went multi-platinum, thanks to its infectious mix of upbeat bar-band rock and Motown-inspired R&B—something Huey Lewis pulled off with effortless charm.

Then came 1985 and “The Power of Love” from Back to the Future—a moment that catapulted Huey Lewis straight to the top of the pop charts. It was pure magic. And the momentum didn’t stop there. The follow-up album, Fore!, delivered two more No. 1 hits, solidifying Huey Lewis and the News as household names.

Beyond music, Huey Lewis also carved out a second act as a supporting actor, appearing in films like Short Cuts (1995) and Duets (2000), where his natural charisma shined through. Yet, no matter what else he did, Huey Lewis always returned to the stage. For decades, he kept touring across the United States with the News, spreading the joy of rock and soul just like he always had.

A dynamic vocalist who moved seamlessly between pop, rock, and R&B, Huey Lewis wasn’t just a product of the ‘80s—he helped shape them. With his signature voice and timeless energy, Huey Lewis remains one of the most successful and beloved artists of his era.

Trivia

So, when it comes to Huey Lewis and his appearances in film, fans often wonder which movie stands out the most—and honestly, it’s pretty clear that Huey Lewis’s highest rated film to date is The Greatest Night in Pop from 2024. This documentary-style feature really captures a special moment in music history, and Huey Lewis’s presence adds a genuine touch of nostalgia and charm. People seem to really connect with his candid reflections, which might explain why this one ranks so high. On the other hand, if we look at the lower end of the spectrum, Huey Lewis’s lowest rated movie is Duets (2000), a karaoke-themed drama that, while having its moments, didn’t quite hit the right notes with critics or audiences. It’s interesting to see how Huey Lewis’s on-screen roles have been received over time—some resonating more than others. Still, whether it’s a top-rated appearance or a less successful one, Huey Lewis brings his own unique energy to every project he’s part of.

H.B. Warner
Actor Film

H.B. Warner was a prominent figure in both silent and sound films, known for his memorable performances in a variety of roles. Among his most iconic portrayals were that of Jesus Christ in Cecil B. DeMille’s "King of Kings" (1927), Chang, the loyal assistant to the High Lama in "Lost Horizon" (1937), and Mr. Gower, the troubled pharmacist in the beloved classic "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946). His performance in "Lost Horizon" earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and over the course of his long and distinguished career, H.B. Warner appeared in more than 100 films. Born into a theatrical family as the son of the renowned British stage actor Charles Warner, H.B. Warner made his stage debut at the remarkably young age of seven in 1883. Initially, he chose a different path, opting to study medicine. However, it wasn’t long before he returned to the stage, performing in both England and the United States. He made his film debut in "The Lost Paradise" (1914), and one of his standout silent film roles came in "Zaza" (1923), where he played the part of a married man who becomes infatuated with Gloria Swanson’s character. Interestingly, H.B. Warner was nearly 50 years old when he took on the role of the 30-something Christ in "King of Kings." Despite the age discrepancy, the film was a tremendous success. To ensure the sanctity of the role, Warner was required to sign a special agreement committing to live an exemplary life—not only during production but for a full year following the film’s release. This meant avoiding any kind of scandal, including divorce. In a move that foreshadowed modern acting methods, director Cecil B. DeMille isolated Warner from the rest of the cast to help him fully immerse himself in the character. It’s said that the emotional weight of the role led Warner to turn to alcohol, and while no scandal ever erupted, he reportedly battled alcoholism for the remainder of his life. With a strong background in stage acting, H.B. Warner transitioned smoothly into the sound era. He played the chief magistrate in "Liliom" (1930), appeared opposite Sylvia Sidney in "Jennie Gerhardt" (1933), and portrayed Gabelle in "A Tale of Two Cities" (1935). He also became a favored actor of Frank Capra, appearing in several of the director’s most celebrated films. In "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), H.B. Warner played the bemused judge hearing Gary Cooper’s whimsical tale of tuba playing. He returned for "Lost Horizon" (1937), "You Can't Take It With You" (1938) as Ramsey, and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), in which he chillingly portrayed the corrupt Senator Fuller. Of course, his unforgettable turn as Mr. Gower in "It's a Wonderful Life" remains one of his most enduring performances. In a particularly eerie and memorable appearance, H.B. Warner played himself among a group of aging silent film stars known as "the waxworks," sitting at a card table with Anna Q. Nilsson, Buster Keaton, and Gloria Swanson in Billy Wilder’s classic "Sunset Boulevard" (1950). He later returned to work with Cecil B. DeMille in "The Ten Commandments" (1956), reuniting with the director of his most famous role. H.B. Warner made one of his final appearances in "Darby's Rangers" (1958), starring in a cameo for director William Wellman. In addition to his film work, H.B. Warner shared his life story in his 1939 autobiography titled *Hollywood Saga*, offering a glimpse into the golden age of cinema through the eyes of a man who lived it.
