Современный американский актер.
Родился 23 января 1950 года в Миннеаполисе, штат Миннесота, США.
He is a contemporary American actor.
В его жилах течет шотландская, шведская, норвежская и индейская кровь.
Его отец, Стюарт Андерсон, преподавал английский язык, драму и гуманитарные науки в старших классах местной школы, и был неплохим джазовым басистом. Его мать, Джоселин - талантливый живописец и скульптор. Ричард - старший из четырех сыновей. Вырос в Роузвилле, Миннесота.
He was born on January 23, 1950 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
Он изучал драму в Государственном Университе св. Клода и в Университете штата Огайо, но бросил учебу незадолго до окончания. Путешествия привели его ненадолго в Нью-Йорк, потом он провел некоторое время в сердце культурной революции в округе Haight-Ashbury в Сан-Франциско, и, наконец, попал в Лос-Анджелес. Там он работал уличным мимом, жонглером и исполнителем шутливых куплетов в кабаре в стиле эпохи Возрождения. Еще какое-то время работал в Marineland'е ("Мир моря", парк развлечений), где он писал, режиссировал и выступал в шоу с морскими млекопитающими. Его роль заключалась в том, что он держал во рту рыбу, а касатка должна была подпрыгнуть и забрать ее. По его рассказам, на одной из репетиций этого номера, он получил мощный удар по лицу от дельфина-касатки. Кроме того, он играл в авангардных постановках, включая главную роль Супермена в "Костях" театра Паломничества (Pilgrimage Theatre). Какое-то время он пел и играл на гитаре в "Рики Дин и Данте" - рок-группе своего друга Карла Данте.
He has Scottish, Swedish, Norwegian and Native American blood in his veins.
His father, Stuart Anderson, taught English, drama and humanities at a local high school, and was a pretty good jazz bassist. His mother, Jocelyn, is an accomplished painter and sculptor. Richard is the oldest of four sons. He grew up in Roseville, Minnesota.
He studied drama at St. Claude State University and Ohio State University, but dropped out shortly before graduation. His travels took him briefly to New York, then he spent some time in the heart of the cultural revolution in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury County, and finally made his way to Los Angeles. There he worked as a street mime, juggler and performer of jocular couplets in Renaissance-style cabarets. He also worked at Marineland (Sea World, an amusement park) for a while, where he wrote, directed, and performed in shows with marine mammals. His role was to hold a fish in his mouth and have a killer whale jump up and get it. According to his story, during one of the rehearsals for this number, he received a powerful blow to the face from a killer whale dolphin. He also played in avant-garde productions, including the lead role of Superman in Pilgrimage Theatre's Bones. For a while he sang and played guitar in Ricky Dean & Dante, the rock band of his friend Carl Dante.
The beginning of his acting career was the role of Dr. Jeff Webber on the television series General Hospital from 1976 to 1981. He also played the role of Adam in the television series Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, based on the movie of the same name.
Anderson became famous after the television series Secret Agent MacGyver, which aired from 1985 to 1992 and was very popular throughout the show.
In 1995, Anderson starred in the comic series Legend, which consisted of only 12 episodes, about a detective writer who is forced against his will to pretend to be the hero of his own novels.
From 1997 to 2005, Anderson played the lead role of Colonel/General Jack O'Neill on the TV series Stargate SG-1, based on the movie Stargate.
In season six, Anderson asked to reduce his character's involvement in the script because he decided to devote himself to raising his daughter. His character was gradually removed from the script, and by the end of season eight he was no longer a member of the regular cast, preferring to be a guest star. His character appears in two episodes of the tenth season of Stargate SG-1 and in three episodes of the third season of Stargate Atlantis.
On September 14, 2004, during the U.S. Air Force 57th Anniversary Dinner in Washington, D.C., the actor was presented with an award by the Air Force Association for his contributions to creating a positive image of the United States Air Force as the lead actor and executive producer of the Stargate SG-1 series. During the same dinner, Anderson became an honorary brigadier general.
Anderson has always been a big fan of the animated television series The Simpsons, and in 2005 he was invited to guest-star on the show, something he constantly mentioned while filming on Stargate SG-1.
He voiced himself in the series Kiss Kiss, Bangalore (season 17, episode 17, air date April 9, 2006).
In 1997, Anderson contributed to the computer game Fallout, voicing Killian Darkwater, the mayor of the city of Junktown, built entirely out of garbage left over from a nuclear war.
In 2006, Anderson briefly returned to the role of Angus MacGyver, starring in a MasterCard commercial during the Super Bowl. The commercial's plot is inspired by the "McGyver formula," while at the same time being a parody of the series, offering incredible solutions to the problems faced by Anderson's character.
Anderson has never been married. He has a daughter, Wiley Quinn Annarose, born in 1998 to his former companion, April Prowse.
Richard lives in Vancouver, and in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and has property in northern Minnesota.

DON AMECHE.
May 31, 1908, Kenosha, Wisconsin, USA - December 6, 1993, Scottsdale, Arizona, USA.
American actor.
Like many other brilliant actors, Don Amici was long underappreciated. He performed in vaudeville for the singer and actress Texas Guinan, until she kicked him out of the troupe, calling him "too clumsy."
Having played two sons at once in Sins of Man (1936), Amici then starred in Romulus (1936) at Twentieth Century Fox. An actor in musicals like Alexander Ragtime Band (1938), he also shone in musical biographical films, as Stephen Foster in Swaney's River (1939). After appearing on the big screen as an inventor in "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell" (1939), the word "Amici" began to mean on the slang for the day appointed to call. The actor's trademark was his thin mustache and radiant smile.
The star work of Amici was the role of Henry von Cleave, a nice, but melancholic scoundrel, walking on the road to hell, in the film Ernst Lubitsch "Heaven Will Wait" (1943). The actor also demonstrated his multi-faceted talent, playing a villain in the film "Sleep, My Love" (1948) Douglas Sirk.
Having made a successful radio appearance with Francis Langford in The Bickersons, the actor moved to television in the 1950s and then returned to the movies, starring in the sophomore feature The Painted Mummy is Dead (1966) and the more successful The Bootnicks (1970). With his small role as an old millionaire in Trading Places (1983), Amici again reminded Hollywood of himself.
He spent the last decade starring in such hits as Cocoon (1985), followed by David Mamet's striking film, All Things Change (1988), whose plot is built entirely around Amici's character.

As a result, he became a military man. After three years, her father, who was in the Air Force, was transferred back to California. After living there, they moved to Del Rio, Texas. Her mother was of half-French, half-Danish descent, which meant that to the vast majority of her neighbors she was a "goddamn immigrant. When Jess was born, her parents were very young, there wasn't much money in the house, and the house itself was a very relative concept. Jessica wasn't the only child in the family, she had a brother, Josh. Before she was nine years old, the family moved from state to state ten times. Already at age five Jessica decided to become an actress. At twelve she went to acting classes, at thirteen she got her first role in life. Not because she was so talented, but because the director liked her long hair.

ALLEN STEWART KONIGSBERG
Real name: Allen Stuart Konigsberg.
He was born on December 1, 1935, in New York City.
As a student at New York University he began writing sketches for television, nightclubs and magazines. In 1965 his first script, "What's New, Pussycat?" was accepted for production, and Allen himself got a small role in the film, which became a good advertisement for him.
In 1969, Allen made his screen debut as the director of the comedy "Take the Money and Run" and since then has appeared in films in three capacities as a writer, actor and director. Only on rare occasions Allen denies himself the pleasure of performing their own devised jokes.
Small height, red-haired, with a big nose and a face covered with freckles, Allen seems to have created by nature itself for the role of the clown, not immediately found his own performing manner. In the early films ("Bananas", 1970; "Play it again, Sam, 1971;" Sleeper ", 1973;" Love and Death ", 1975), he clearly imitated the Marx Brothers rough style. Intensity absurdity, sarcastic mockery of the audience, blatant courtship of the fair sex all came from an actor under their influence. Without much difficulty Woody managed to gain a reputation for witty mockery, brilliantly owning the secrets of the comedy genre. However, he has tried by all means to break free of the role of the joker, a chuckle, in a word, "non-serious man," and he succeeded.
In the movie "Annie Hall" (1977), "Manhattan" (1980), "Memories of stardust" (1980) came Woody Allen is no longer a comic, a dramatic and even sometimes tragic actor. The very performing manner has undergone a radical change. Satirical intonations were replaced by melancholic self-absorption. Divisive satire turned into a sad banter at himself, his weaknesses, inferiority, shortcomings. And while there are also many witty jokes and funny scenes in these pictures, a sense of bitterness and regret overpowers them. The time when Woody was a comedian, poking fun at witticisms, is gone. The only reminder of those days was the movie "Zelig" (1983), a true masterpiece Allen, director and actor. His exuberant imagination has created a fantastic image of a unique human individual, capable of effortlessly changing his appearance and easily get out of any situation. Woody came up with this image to show how dangerous conformism is to society, to the moral health of the nation.
As a protagonist of their own films, Allen did not refuse to shoot and other directors. His best work "stand-in" M. Ritta (1976), in which he played a little man, by fate involved in the story and got under its millstones. Howard Prince - the antipode of the actor′s lyrical hero, a thin, subject to doubt intellectual who looks at the world through the prism of irony. But this did not prevent Allen to be convincing and in the role of filist, who decided to make a small capital on the misfortune of others.
In recent years, Woody mostly plays small roles in his films ("Danny Rose of Broadway," 1984; "Crimes and Misdemeanors," 1989; "Shadows and Fog," 1991). He has changed much in appearance, has aged, lost his former vigor. The very performing manner" Allen became less garish, but more subtle and expressive, helping to create a touching in its defenselessness of the image of modern intellectuals. Especially stands out here, his short story in the movie "New York Stories" (1989), showing the unequal duel a timid bachelor Sheldon Miles with an authoritarian mother.
With all the passion given to film, Allen never forgot literature. He is the author of six humorous books.
В. Allen was married three times and had many love affairs. His alliance with Mia Farrow ended in a high-profile scandal after she accused Woody of having an intimate relationship with her adopted daughter, twenty-year-old Sun Yu Previn. Incidentally, shortly before that, Allen had directed the film Husbands and Wives (1992), in which his character has a love affair with a young college girl.

The music video won two awards at the MTV Video Music Awards: "Best Female Video" and "Best Song to a Movie." Alia was also nominated for a Grammy for Best R&B Singer. The soundtrack sold 1.5 million copies in the United States.
After finishing filming, she began working on her second film, Queen of the Damned.
In July 2001, Alia released her eponymous album. The album hit number two on the Billboard 200 chart.
Tragically died in a plane crash in the Bahamas. On August 25, 2001, at 6:45 p.m., after filming her "Rock the Boat" music video, Alia and several members of her record company boarded a plane near Marsh Harbor (Abaco Islands, Bahamas) to fly to Opa-locka, Florida. A flight was scheduled for the next day, but since the filming ended early, Alia and her entourage insisted on returning to the U.S. Against the advice of the movers and the pilot, all the equipment was loaded onto the plane. They did not know that the plane could not hold all the equipment. Thus, the weight of the cargo on board exceeded the allowable weight. The plane went down shortly after takeoff, about 60 meters from the runway. Everyone on board perished.
