Briefly about Danny DeVito
New Jersey native Danny was born to Daniel DeVito Sr. and Julia DeVito. He spent most of his childhood and formative years in Asbury Park alongside his two older sisters. At a young age, Danny was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, Fairbank’s disease, which affects the growing ends of bones, resulting in short stature.
Interestingly, he worked as a beautician at his sister’s salon, before enrolling at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, from which he graduated in 1966. Before moving on to the big screen, he honed his craft in theater, and often performed with the Colonnades Theater Lab at the Eugene O’Neil Theater Center.
After struggling to find work, in 1975 he was cast as Martin in the eponymous movie adaptation of Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. Three years later, he landed the role as Louie de Palma in the sitcom “Taxi”, sharing the stage with Andy Kaufman, Judd Hirsch and Tony Danza. His unique sense of humor and performance as a taxi dispatcher garnered him two awards, Golden Globe and Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy series.
After landing his breakthrough role, he soon starred in numerous other films, including “The Jewel of the Nile”, “Throw Momma from the Train”, and “The War of the Roses”.
Besides acting, he also tried his luck as a producer on numerous projects, including the biographical crime thriller “Hoffa”, starring Jack Nicholson and Armand Assante. Danny launched the production company “Jersey Films”, which produced a number of hit movies, including Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” in 1994, and the 2000 biographical movie “Erin Brockovich”, starring Julia Roberts. Danny also had notable roles in the “Out of Sight”, “Living Out loud”, and “Man on the Moon”. With over 40 credits under his belt, he’s built his career starring in numerous films and TV shows, landing nominations and awards.
While the older generations praise Danny for his numerous roles and the undoubted influence he has had on the entertainment industry and comedy in Hollywood, the younger audience might recognize him from the hilarious sitcom “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, which has run since 2005.
