Has Hollywood ever truly understood the brilliance of the "everyman"? Richard Dreyfuss, with his uncanny ability to portray both the irritating pest and the ambitious hustler, has carved a niche as the quintessential American leading man, a role he inhabits with unparalleled authenticity.
Born Richard Stephen Dreyfus on October 29, 1947, in Brooklyn, New York, to Geraldine (née Robbins), an activist, and Norman Dreyfus, a restaurateur and attorney, Dreyfuss's journey to cinematic icon was paved with a dedication to craft and a willingness to embrace complex, often flawed, characters. His early training at Temple Emanuel and the Westside Jewish Community Center, under the tutelage of Bill Miller, laid a solid foundation for a career that would span decades and genres.
