Keanu Charles Reeves (born September 2, 1964) is a Lebanese-born Canadian actor and voice actor. Reeves is known for his roles in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Speed, Point Break, and The Matrix franchise as Neo. He has collaborated with major directors such as Stephen Frears (in the 1988 period drama Dangerous Liaisons); Gus Van Sant (in the 1991 independent film My Own Private Idaho); and Bernardo Bertolucci (in the 1993 film Little Buddha). Referring to his 1991 film releases, The New York Times' critic, Janet Maslin, praised Reeves' versatility, saying that he "displays considerable discipline and range. He moves easily between the buttoned-down demeanor that suits a police procedural story and the loose-jointed manner of his comic roles." A repeated theme in roles he has portrayed is that of saving the world, including the characters of Ted Logan, Buddha, Neo, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine and Klaatu.
The most faithful, comprehensive, and long-overdue portrait of Hades as he actually appears in Greek mythology: not as a villain, not as a death-obsessed tyrant, not as a vengeful sibling jealous of his brothers' sunny domains. This is the definitive corrective — Hades as the god of precise, impartial justice, as the keeper of the oldest divine law (that all things die and what comes after must be fair), as a figure of tremendous solemnity and genuine warmth with those he trusts. The series explores his daily governance of the Underworld: adjudicating the cases of the dead alongside his judges Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus; navigating rare visits from living heroes (Heracles, Orpheus) with appropriate dignity; building his relationship with Persephone from their marriage onward; dealing with the few gods who actually seek him out (Thanatos, Hypnos, Hecate). The series argues definitively: Hades is the least dramatic of the Olympians not because he is tragic but because his domain is the most serious, and he treats it accordingly. He is the god of death not because he likes death but because someone must ensure that death is handled with care.
