James Oliver Cromwell (born January 27, 1940) is an American film and television actor. He is best known for his role as Dr. Zefram Cochrane in “Star Trek: First Contact,” as well as his roles in “Babe,” “L.A. Confidential,” and “Spider-Man 3.” He has been nominated for an Oscar, three Emmy Awards, and four Screen Actors Guild Awards during his career. Cromwell was born in Los Angeles, California and was raised in Manhattan, New York. He was adopted by actress Kay Johnson and actor, director and producer John Cromwell, who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. He was educated at The Hill School, Middlebury College and Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University), where he studied engineering. Like both his parents, he was drawn to the theater, doing everything from Shakespeare to experimental plays. He has long been an advocate of leftist causes. In an October 2008 interview, he strongly attacked the Republican Party and the George W. Bush administration, saying their controversial foreign policy would "either destroy us or the entire planet." He became a vegetarian in 1974 after seeing a stockyard in Texas and experiencing the "smell, terror and anxiety." He became an ethical vegan while playing the character of Farmer Hoggett in the movie Babe in 1995. He frequently speaks out on issues regarding animal cruelty for PETA, largely the treatment of pigs. Cromwell was married to Anne Ulvestad from 1976 to 1986. They had three children. He married his second wife, Julie Cobb, on May 29, 1986.

Before he wrote novels, author Michael Seidelman wrote himself a fanfiction script about a fourth Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, and he based it off of the comic book, "Kraven's Last Hunt." Peter Parker is depressed because his best friend, Harry, is dead and his girlfriend, MJ, is away. Right after Peter's college graduation (and saving it from the Rhino), New York is visited by two guys from Russia, Sergei Kravinoff (Kraven) and Dimitri (Chameleon), who want to promote Sergei's reality show about him fighting against dangerous animals while wearing animal skin leotards. But their show is rejected for animal cruelty. When he overhears J Jonah Jameson complaining about Spider-Man, Kraven decides to challenge him to a duel. During the duel, Spider-Man exposes Kraven's stunts as fake. After losing, Kraven is given "Goblin Juice" and then he actually beats the web-slinger and becomes New York's new protector, but it results in the city falling in anarchy. Will Spidey rise from the ground and save the city, or will it be the end of them both?
