David Strathairn Biography
Birth Name:
David Russell Strathairn
Birth Place:
San Francisco, CA
Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign:
01/26/1949, Aquarius
Profession:
Actor
A capable character actor who got his start in indies directed by his old college buddy John Sayles, Strathairn has convincingly tackled a host of diverse roles, from an abusive pedophile (
Dolores Claiborne
) to a soft-spoken Cajun handyman (
Passion Fish
) to legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow (
Good Night, and Good Luck.
), an impressive performance that earned the veteran actor his first Golden Globe and Oscar nods. Subtly sexy, this laid-back player made his film debut in Sayles' first film, 1980's
The Return of the Secaucus Seven
. Over the next two decades, the two collaborated on multiple projects as the untrained actor slowly ventured out on his own with myriad appearances on the big and small screens. A romantic role on the cult series
The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd
and a sympathetic turn as a baseball manager in the 1992 hit
A League of Their Own
upped his profile, but his name remained relatively obscure. In the '90s the prolific player thrived in both A-list and indie projects while keeping a low personal profile, but his performance in
Good Night, and Good Luck.
turned him belatedly into a leading man.
David Strathairn Fast Facts:
Although never formally trained as an actor, he attended Ringling Bros. Clown College and spent six months performing in one-half of a conjoined-twin costume.
Helped form a children's theater company in Glen Falls, NY, in the early '70s with Gordon Clapp from
NYPD Blue
.
Made his Broadway debut in the short-lived
Einstein and the Polar Bear
in 1981. Went on to perform in a number of shows on the Great White Way, including a 2003 staged reading of
Salome
opposite Al Pacino.
A non-smoker, he had to light dozens of cigarettes hand-rolled with much gentler pipe tobacco to portray chain-smoking Edward R. Murrow in
Good Night, and Good Luck.
(2005).
