Richard Dreyfuss

born October 29, 1947, Brooklyn, SUA

Richard Stephen Dreyfuss is an American actor best known for starring in a number of film, television and theater roles since the late 1960s, known for his portrayals of ordinary men driven to emotional extremes.

After spending his early childhood in Brooklyn and Queens, New York, Dreyfuss moved with his family to California, where he began acting in plays at the West Side Jewish Community Center in Beverly Hills, California. During the late ’60s and early ’70s, Dreyfuss acted mostly onstage in everything from repertory theatre to Broadway shows, and he landed occasional small roles on television. Bit parts in Valley of the Dolls (1967) and The Graduate (1967) led to his first major screen appearance, as gangster Baby Face Nelson in Dillinger (1973), for which he received critical praise.

Dreyfuss’s breakthrough role was that of intelligent, angst-ridden high-school graduate Curt Henderson in George Lucas’ American Graffiti (1973).

His subsequent films helped establish Dreyfuss as one of the top stars of the 1970s – Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975)
