His paternal grandparents were Croatian. In 1976, Malkovich joined Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre, newly founded by his friend Gary Sinise. After that, it would take seven years before Malkovich would show up in New York and win an Obie in Sam Shepard's play "True West". In 1984, Malkovich would appear with Dustin Hoffman in the Broadway revival of "Death of a Salesman", which would earn him an Emmy when it was made into a made-for-TV movie the next year. His big-screen debut would be as the blind lodger in Les saisons du coeur (1984), which earned him an Academy Award Nomination for best supporting actor. Other films would follow, including La déchirure (1984) and La ménagerie de verre (1987), but he would be well remembered as Vicomte de Valmont in Les liaisons dangereuses (1988). Playing against Michelle Pfeiffer and Glenn Close in a costume picture helped raise his standing in the industry.

In 1994, Malkovich would portray the sinister Kurtz in the made-for-TV movie Au coeur des ténèbres (1993), taking the story to Africa as it was originally written.
