Dominic Wade boxer fights. The one whose star roles are in the past

Dominic Arian Swain is an American actress who started her career at the age of 12. The girl gained fame thanks to the filming of the film "Lolita". Later in the filmography appeared the tapes "Faceless" and "Alpha Dog".

In the family of electrical engineer David Swain Sr. and Cindy Swain, daughter Dominic Arian was born on August 12, 1980. The baby was born in Malibu, California.

The official biography of the girl says that her father had other children from his first marriage - a sister and a brother. But Dominique Swain was not the only child in the family. The actress has an older sister, Alexis, and a younger one, Chelsea.

The parents sent their daughter to a regular school in Malibu. During these years, Dominique learned about sports, art and, of course, music. Despite the rich choice of entertainment, the girl managed to find time for both hobbies and classes. Therefore, Swain was given an excellent graduation diploma.

Films

Dominic Swain's career as an actress began at the age of 12 with the filming of The Good Son. The girl was invited to act as an understudy for Quinn Culkin. The elder brother of the actress also played in this picture.

After that, there was a slight lull. And so the parents decided to take their daughter to the casting in the film "Lolita". The plot was based on the novel of the same name. This important event for Dominic's career happened in 1995. Thanks to her talent, the 14-year-old girl bypassed 2,500 young actresses and got the lead role in Lolita.

The work on the film lasted for 2 years. In the filmography of Dominic during this period, another picture appeared - "Without a face". The girl started working on it later than on "Lolita", but the tape was released earlier. Therefore, in the filmography "No Face" is presented as the first work of Swain.

Such a start seemed incredible, but for the first two works at such a young age, Dominic was nominated for several film awards. At the Saturn Awards, the actress would have won Best Young Actress. The girl would have received this prize for the film "No Face".

"Lolita" brought the teenager a nomination for the Chicago Film Critics Association Award. At the MTV Movie Awards, Lolita co-star Dominique Swain was nominated for Best Kiss. Despite the fact that the girl got only one victory, Hollywood started talking about Dominic as a new star.

Next on the list of Swain's filmography was a dramatic work called "The Fan". Thanks to Lolita, Dominic was counting exclusively on the main roles. In 1999, the picture "Trainee" was released on the big screens, later there were "Bad Girls", "Summer Fun", "College", "Death in the Water".

Gradually, the popularity of the young actress began to fade. The films in which the girl starred were not successful. Dominic was no longer invited to the main roles. Swain played minor characters in the films "Pumpkin", "Best Friend", "Kill Edgar", "Free Swimming", "Dead Season", "Eater of Souls", "The Apprentice".

Unexpectedly, Dominic Swain was invited to work on the painting "Alpha Dog", which was presented to the viewer in 2005. The actress was accompanied by (Jake Mazursky), (Johnny Trulove), (Frankie Bollenbaker), (Zach Mazursky), (Olivia Mazursky), (Sonny Trulove), Amanda Seyfred (Julia Backley), (Angela Holden).

Dominic got a cameo role, so the girl could not re-declare herself. Since filming in "Alpha Dog", the career of a talented actress has actually stopped. After this picture, the girl was invited to films that could not become box-office, respectively, and did not manage to increase Dominic's recognition.

In the filmography of the actress followed one after another films "Deadly Harvest", where Swain acted as a producer, "Sunset on the Prairie", "Path of the Blade", "The Road to Nowhere", "Embers".

Personal life

Dominic Swain prefers not to talk about his personal life. In the media after the release of the films "Summer Fun" and "College" there was information about the romance of the girl and Brad Renfro. But young people did not confirm these data. In January 2008, the man died due to a drug overdose. How Dominique took this tragic news is unknown.

There are many rumors about the star's novels, but Swain is in no hurry to confirm or deny them. In her free time from filming, the girl prefers to protect animals. In 2001, Dominique participated in the campaign "I" d Rather Go Nakedthan Wear Fur. For this, the 21-year-old actress posed nude. To shoot Swain was invited by representatives of PETA.

Representatives of the film industry believe that high-profile stories about Dominic's personal life would help in the formation and development of the career of a film actress. But the girl preferred to keep this door closed from the public. The bright, tall (173 cm) and slender (57 kg) girl disappeared from the big screens.

Dominic Swain now

Dominic Swain does not have an official page on the Instagram social network. Occasionally, photos of the actress appear in the gossip, for example, from the premiere of a film in which a young woman starred. But now Dominic does not want to leave the acting path. The girl continues to try herself in new roles.

In 2017, Dominique's fans will again see the actress on the big screen in the films Spreading Darkness, Boone: The Bounty Hunter, Fast and Furious Rage, The Hunted, and The 6th Friend. In these tapes, Swain again appears in the lead roles.

Dominic Swain is a popular American actress and model who became popular after her iconic role in Lolita. This project became the starting point in a long career as an actress. Our today's heroine conquered one height after another, and therefore soon became a real world star. Today she is known and loved in all corners of our endless planet. But can we say that we know everything about her? We will try to figure it out right now.

Early years, childhood and family Dominic Swain

Dominic Ariane Swain was born on August 12, 1980 in the world famous city of Malibu (California). Her father was an electrical engineer, and little is known about her mother. In addition to Dominique herself, her family also had three more daughters, one of whom is Chelsea Swain, also known as a talented actress.

In the South of the United States, everything has always been saturated with the romance of cinema. Perhaps that is why, from an early age, our today's heroine began to dream about the profession of an actress. In 1993, the girl got the role of the understudy of one of the young actresses in the film "The Good Son", but she still did not appear in the frame.

Subsequently, a similar situation happened on the set of the cult film Interview with the Vampire. For a long time Dominic was on the list of the main contenders for the role of Claudia, but at the last moment she lost the right to shoot another aspiring actress - Kirsten Dunst.

Two offensive failures hit the actress's pride hard, but later the girl still managed to find some inner balance in herself. Soon Dominique Swain played her first roles ... in music videos. As a teenager, she appeared in several music videos for Nickelback, Shaun Mullins, and several other artists. Some time later, the girl also performed her first television roles - in several episodes of the series "Military Legal Service".

Dominic Swain's star trek, filmography

Dominic Swain got her first striking role in 1997 in the cult action movie Face Off. This project literally divided her career into "Before" and "After". Working with such giants of American cinema as John Travolta and Nicolas Cage became a great help in the future career of an actress. And therefore, very soon, new roles began to appear in the filmography of the young star.

Dominic Swain as Lolita

In the same 1997, our today's heroine took part in the casting of actresses for the famous film adaptation of the novel by Vladimir Nabokov "Lolita". The main role was predicted by Natalie Portman, however, despite this, at the last moment Dominique Swain still managed to bypass her and sign a lucrative contract for shooting the film. Thus, the seventeen-year-old actress was approved as the main character of "Lolita". As a result, the collaboration with Melanie Griffith became one of the brightest and most famous films in the long filmography of the actress. Two striking roles in the films "Face Off" and "Lolita" instantly made Dominic Swain a real Hollywood star. As a guest celebrity, she took part in the campaign against natural fur. And some time later she starred in the video for Moby "We Are All Made of Stars".

The Girl from Naked Eye - a film with Dominic Swain

In parallel with this, the actress's cinematic career was gaining momentum. In the late nineties - early 2000s, the girl starred in a whole series of popular films. The most famous among these were the paintings "Fan", "Summer Fun", "College", "Bad Girls" and some others. In each of these films, our today's heroine played central roles.

Vivid and sexy on-screen images very soon made Dominique Swain one of the most coveted actresses in the history of world cinema. In 2001, at the age of twenty-one, the actress starred nude for PETA magazine, thus becoming the youngest erotic model in the history of the publication.

Subsequently, Dominique Swain exploited the image of a sexy teenage girl for a long time. Her fame was fanned with a thin halo of scandalousness, but this only gave a special charm to the celebrity on-screen role. By the age of twenty, our today's heroine has become one of the most sought-after actresses of the early 2000s. It was during this period that the films "Best Friend", "Alpha Dog", as well as some other films were released, which became a worthy continuation of the actress's career.

Dominic Swain is currently

Beginning in the mid-2000s, her career as an actress slowly began to decline. Having matured somewhat, the actress lost her teenage charm, and therefore subsequently began to often play in second-rate "horror films" and other low-budget projects. A striking example of this are the paintings "Eater of Souls", "Bloody Feast", "Poison", "Robbers", "Nazis in the Center of the Earth" and others. The vast majority of the actress's works of this period subsequently received extremely low ratings from critics and ordinary viewers. Some exceptions were only the heartfelt drama "Ocean", as well as the melodrama "The Road to Nowhere" (later nominated for the prize of the Venice Film Festival). The two named works allowed the actress to somewhat correct the overall impression of her paintings.

Recently, Dominic Swain has also been filming very often. Some of the last pictures in the filmography of the actress are the failed action movie "The Bodyguard's Mistake", as well as the rather successful drama "Blue Dream".

It is known that in the next couple of years the American actress will appear in ten (!) New films. Among her works, low-budget projects again prevail. Some exceptions are only the rating science fiction film "Hunted" and the British action movie "Leather Trade". In the last of the named tapes, Mickey Rourke will be Dominic Swain's partner.

Dominic Swain's personal life

Almost nothing is known about the actress's novels. We can only say for certain that the girl is still not married.

In everyday life, she pays a lot of attention to protecting the environment and works closely with companies that protect animal rights.

Dominique Arian Swain was born on August 12, 1980 in Malibu, California, the son of electrical engineer David Swain, Sr. and Cindy Swain. From his father's first marriage, Dominique has a half-sister and brother, and in a marriage with Cindy, David had three daughters - Alexis (born in 1978), Chelsea (born in 1982) and, in fact, Dominic.

The future actress studied at Malibu High School. During her school years, young Dominic was fond of sports, art and music. Unlike her other eminent colleagues, Swain pursued art without compromising her education and eventually graduated with honors. Dominic got her first job in Hollywood when she was only 12 years old: in the film "The Good Son" (1993), she acted as an understudy for the young actress Quinn Culkin, the younger sister of the famous Macaulay Culkin, who played one of the main characters in this film.

In 1995, Dominique Swain took part in the casting for the main role in the adaptation of the same name of the famous novel by Vladimir Nabokov "Lolita". The 14-year-old girl was chosen by the creators of the tape from 2.5 thousand aspiring actresses, and as a result, her acting performance in "Lolita" was highly praised by viewers and critics. The picture was released in 1997 - two months later than another film with Dominic's participation - "No Face". That is why the first work in the filmography of Swain is a drama with elements of fantasy "No Face", but her debut role in a big movie is "Lolita".

For both of these films, which became significant for Dominique, she was nominated for several film awards. Her work in Faceless won a Saturn Award for Best Young Actor or Actress, and Lolita earned Swain nominations for the Chicago Film Critics Association's Most Promising Actor, MTV Movie Awards, Best Kiss "- with Jeremy Irons), YoungStar Award (" Best Young Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie ") and Young Artist Awards (" Best Actress in a TV Movie / Pilot Episode / Miniseries "). Swain won the victory only in the last of the listed awards, but so many nominations for various awards spoke of one thing: a new young star was sparked in Hollywood.

The next project of the actress was a drama with elements of the comedy "Fan" (1998), where she performed the main role. After Lolita, Dominic was invited exclusively to the roles of the titular characters: after The Fan, Swain played the main characters in the films The Trainee (1999), Bad Girls (2000), Summer Fun (2001), College ( 2001), "Death in the Water" (2001) and the short film "Bad Guys Suck" (2001).

The fame of Dominic, as a movie star who made a breakthrough at a young age, began to fade little by little, because neither the above tapes nor the next few works in which she played the main roles - "Pumpkin" (2002), "Best girlfriend "(2002)," Kill Edgar "(2003)," All Virgins Break "(2003)," The Last Contract "(2003)," Free Swimming "(2004)," Intimate Deception "(2004)," Dead Season "(2004)," Military Legal Service "(2005, TV series, 1 episode)," Eater of Souls "(2005) and" The Journeyman "(2005).

Then Dominic starred in the drama Alpha Dog (2005), which brought together a stellar cast: Emil Hirsch, Justin Timberlake, Ben Foster, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone, Amanda Seyfred, Olivia Wilde and others. the film is far from the main role, so the picture did not become a new breakthrough for the actress. Sadly, but it was "Alpha Dog" that marked the end of Dominique Swain's career, because after it she appeared mainly in second-rate films that did not gain popularity and did not bring her fame.

In the period from 2006 to 2015, in the filmography of Swain, one can distinguish the films "Deadly Harvest" (2007, the main role and debut as a producer), "Prairie Sunset" (2008), "Path of the Blade" (2008), " The Road to Nowhere "(2010) and" Embers "(2015).

On January 15, 2008, actor Brad Renfro, Dominic Swain's partner in the films "Summer Fun", "College" and "The Last Contract", with which she was actively credited with an affair, died from a heroin overdose. Officially, the actors have never met, but many journalists have a different opinion on this matter. Be that as it may, the media will not find out the whole truth, because Dominique Swain is not a big fan of talking about her personal life.

The public still does not know about a single novel of the actress, and all that her life is famous for in addition to cinema is social activity. In 2001, 21-year-old Dominique posed nude for the "I" d Rather Go Naked than Wear Fur campaign, initiated by the animal rights organization PETA. person who has ever posed nude for a PETA campaign.

Perhaps a nondescript personal life was one of the reasons for the decline in popularity of Dominique Swain. At some point, the filmmakers simply stopped inviting an "unspoken" actress for title roles, who could not boast of bright personal and professional events. Swain, like many of her colleagues who had lost popularity, had to be content with filming low-budget films, which eventually received devastating ratings from viewers and critics and a low rating.

After Tureano Johnson refused to enter the ring against Gennady Golovkin citing a shoulder injury, IBF I soon found a new contender for the Kazakhstani puncher. It turned out to be an American Dominic Wade, who performs in the pro-ring in the rank of prospect. A few words about the theoretical April rival GGG - in the material.

For 25-year-old boxer Dominic Wade, a potential fight against Gennady Golovkin will turn out to be either a success or a failure. Moreover, for success it will not necessarily be necessary to defeat GGG. It is enough to prove yourself worthy and at least try to deliver problems to Golovkin during the battle. So to speak, to show the character of a fighter and the presence of the makings of a champion. But in the event of a total fiasco, Wade risks ruining his sports career, which can hardly be called outstanding today.

The birthplace of American Wade is the town of Largo, Maryland. Dominik began his professional career on March 14, 2009. In his debut fight against Chris Davis, he won an early victory, knocking out his opponent in the 28th second of the first round. Since then, Wyad has fought 17 more fights and has not suffered a single defeat. By the way, so far there is not a single serious champion in the boxer's impeccable resume. However, this, as it turned out, did not in the least affect the fact that he is in third place in the IBF rating.

Unbeaten Dominic Wade is not a strong puncher. Moreover, in some of his fights, he did act as the second number, scoring victories either by a split decision or by knockouts. On account of his 12 early victories. However, as it was written earlier, not in all meetings he was a clear leader, preferring to fight in a not too spectacular manner. And the results of individual meetings are still controversial among both spectators and experts.

For example, the last fight against 41-year-old Australian Sam Soliman. The ex-world champion, despite the fact that he was knocked down in the fourth round, threw out and delivered many more punches throughout the fight, and also set the tone for the fight. As a result, the split decision of the judges to give the victory to Wade caused an incessant buzz among the audience. It is worth noting that Soliman's case is not the only one in his entire career. There are about three "battles" to name when Wade dubiously celebrated Victoria.

Based on how Wade behaves in the ring, we can say that the boxer is in search of his own style. This is also evidenced by the words said by Dominic himself before one of his fights: "I had an excellent training camp that lasted three weeks. Good training and sparring. You will see me boxing more than chopping. Although if there are exchanges, then mine the jaw is ready for that too. But you'll see a smarter Dominic Wade. " And so from battle to battle. Be that as it may, the absence of a strong blow and proper pressure will negatively affect the fight against Golovkin. Compared to Wade's previous counterparts, Gennady can disorient Dominic for a long time.

Among other things, the prospectus does not have stable activity. For comparison: in 2014 the number of fights with his participation was four, while last year he entered the ring only once. And in 2012, he did not fight at all.

Of course, Dominic cannot be called untalented. He is promising and has an excellent chance of achieving future heights. But most likely not now. By the way, unlike many of his fellow countrymen, at the moment Wade was not a participant in any scandal, and also did not make loud statements. But I know relatively little about Kazakhstan. In 2014, Wade played on the undercard of the Hopkins - Shumenov fight, where he dealt with Markus Upshaw in the second round (Beibut Shumenov lost his fight).

One way or another, Gennady Golovkin will be the undisputed favorite of the theoretical match Wade - Golovkin. And given the refusals of the champions to carry out unification battles with GGG, the chances that the aforementioned fight will take place are quite high. At least the negotiations have begun.
