The veteran started acting decades ago during the times of legal discrimination, and was one of the first black actors to break racial barriers in the United Kingdom. For more on Mr Cameron’s career including photos, videos and filmography see his profile here.

His part in Inception is a small part in which his character has a brief argument with Leo DiCaprio’s character. Speaking to Kenilworth Weekly news about the lead actor Leo DiCaprio he said:

Mr DiCaprio is a really nice guy and he doesn’t have any of this big star nonsense about him like some of the actors I used to work with in the 1950s. He came up to me at the end of filming, shook my hand and said it was a pleasure working with me. I won’t know how much of my part will be included in the film though until I see it later this month.”

Inception, which has a reported budget of $200 million, started production in June 2009, with filming locations including Japan, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tangier and Canada. The plot centers around Dom Cobb [Leonardo DiCaprio] who is a skilled thief in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Mr Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved.

Mr Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Mr Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one.
