Biography:
Jesus Quintana, often nicknamed "The Jesus," is a flamboyant and eccentric character most famously portrayed by John Turturro. He originated in the 1998 cult classic film, The Big Lebowski, written and directed by the Coen Brothers.
Quintana is a competitive bowler known for his flashy attire, signature bowling style, and aggressive, sexually suggestive behavior. He's a prominent rival to the film's protagonist, Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, and his bowling team.
Decades after The Big Lebowski, Turturro reprised the role in a spin-off film he also wrote and directed, The Jesus Rolls (2019). This film expands upon Quintana's backstory and portrays him fresh out of prison, embarking on a series of misadventures with his friend Petey.
Quintana's enduring appeal stems from his over-the-top personality and the comedic contrast he provides to the more laid-back characters around him. He is a memorable and iconic figure in cinematic history, representing a unique blend of swagger and absurdity.
