Jon Cryer Biography
Birth Place:
New York, NY
Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign:
04/16/1965, Aries
Profession:
Actor
The son of Broadway performers David and Gretchen Cryer, this perennially geeky actor was indoctrinated into showbiz at a young age as a child model and stage performer. Although his early success as Molly Ringwald's manic buddy Duckie in
Pretty in Pink
seemed to imply a wonderful future, his career stalled after a series of forgettable films. In the '90s Cryer wisely focused almost solely on television. Although four of his sitcoms flopped, he remained undaunted, and in 2003 he finally scored a hit as a pent-up single father on
Two and a Half Men
.
Jon Cryer Fast Facts:

Attended Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, England, before his senior year of high school.
Frequently mistaken for Matthew Broderick, whom he understudied and succeeded in the off-Broadway production of

and
Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God...Be Back in Five
