"Keanu Reeves" (born September 2, 1964) is a Hollywood film actor. Although currently working in the United States, Reeves is a Canadian citizen. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, his first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian. His father is Asian American of Chinese and Hawaiian descent and his mother is English.

Reeves gained the notice of the critics in 1986's ''River's Edge'', but his first major film role was in 1986, in the hockey movie ''Youngblood'', starring Rob Lowe. Reeves's first popularly successful film was ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'', in 1989. Indeed, and perhaps unfortunately for Reeves, much of his subsequent portrayal in the press has been influenced by his comically airheaded character Ted in that film.

Despite the fact that his acting has frequently been derided as wooden, Reeves has become a major box-office draw, and several of his films have become extremely popular.His most commercially successful film to date is the 1999 sci-fi hit ''The Matrix''. Reeves has reprised his role from that movie for the sequel, ''The Matrix Reloaded'', which performed better at the box office than its predecessor. Reeves also appeared in the third movie of the trilogy, ''The Matrix Revolutions''.

In the mid 1990's it was reported that he and gay CEO David Geffen, of the prolific but sporadic record company Geffen Records and Dreamworks pictures had gotten married. While they did know each other, this was obviously not the case. Friends called his house, congratulating him on a marriage he knew nothing about, which prompted some funny conversations.

Independent of speculation Keanu is reported to be very generous with his time and money, lending both to a variety of causes. He took a significant amount of the profits from his Matrix series and treated the hard-working special-effects crew to motorcycles, among other things. True to his Buddhist teachings, he does not have (by 'Hollywood' standards) many possessions and keeps his life uncluttered. He continues to play bass in the rock band Dogstar.
