Steve Guttenberg
Steve Guttenberg is an actor, comedian, singer, author and director who's just about seen it all during a quite extraordinary career in entertainment. He was born in Brooklyn, New York on August 24th, 1958, the son of skilled surgical assistant Ann Iris (née Newman) and electrical engineer Jerome Stanley Guttenberg. He enjoyed a faithful Jewish upbringing in North Massapequa, New York, where he attended Plainedge High School before enrolling in New York City's High School of Performing Arts. He studied under John Houseman at the Juilliard School. Guttenberg's early television films include the critically acclaimed features 'Something For Joey' (1977) with Geraldine Page, the sports-based docudrama 'Miracle On Ice' (1981), and the controversial holocaust picture 'The Day After' (1983). He also starred as Billy Fisher in the sitcom 'Billy' (1979).

"Among the many political leaders and ideals alluded to at the Democratic National Convention this week, one stood out as something of a non sequitur: the “Police Academy” movies. Former President Bill Clinton’s love of the comedy franchise came out during the DNC, which of course led to instant chatter on Twitter and even a callback in a later speech. Steve Guttenberg, one of the series’ stars, is pretty stoked: “We are all thrilled that both Bill and Chelsea let the secret out,” he wrote yesterday on CNN. “The great thing is that it is the truth,” the actor adds. “These are the films he likes.” Guttenberg then recalls meeting the then-president while filming “Home for the Holidays.” “One of the stories he told, was that he had had a challenging few days, and turned to the six-movie package of ‘Police Academy’ with his daughter Chelsea. It was a distraction of the highest order.” Rather than just brag, however, Guttenberg pivots in order to underscore the importance of art and entertainment: “A president who had lots to be responsible for knew that watching comedy could provide relief and feed the imagination. And wouldn’t we like imagination in all the fine people who run the government?” Read the “Zeus and Roxanne” star’s full article on CNN."

Steve Guttenberg directed the motion picture 'P.S. Your Cat Is Dead' (2002) and won audiences over. He's continued to make different kinds of films, specialising in comedy, romance, action and family experiences. His friend Bobcat Goldthwait, who also turned to directing after the 'Police Academy' series stalled, has said Guttenberg may be returning for a franchise reboot, although he himself isn't interested in getting involved. Guttenberg was a featured player on cult tv show 'Veronica Mars' (2005 - 2006) with Kristin Bell. He's also produced promotions for quality American meats as well as advertising top-selling fizzy beverage Coca-Cola. On December 12th, 2011, Guttenberg received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame that's located at 6411 Hollywood Blvd. And if you missed out on seeing him with The Rock in 'Ballers' (2015 - ), don't worry, because he fully intends to return to London's West End and hopes to be back under the bright lights of Broadway before long.
"Over a four-year period in the 1980s, Guttenberg had a stunning run. Though only in his 20s, the actor anchored seven hit films: He was the diaper-changing cartoonist in "Three Men and a Baby," the robot-protecting scientist in "Short Circuit," the unsuspecting boat owner in "Cocoon" and the wisecracking police cadet, Carey Mahoney, in the "Police Academy" franchise. Back when "Footloose" was an original film and "Don't Stop Believin'" was only a Journey song, Guttenberg was the prototypical nice guy, a poster boy for a pre-irony generation. In the two decades since, Guttenberg hasn't gone away — it just seems like he has. (The third-most popular search for his name on Google is for "Steve Guttenberg Dead.") Since he had the modest hit "Three Men and a Little Lady" in 1990, the actor has in fact had lead parts in nearly two dozen movies — nearly all of them low-budget obscurities with titles like "Help Me, Help You," "The Gold Retrievers," "Fatal Rescue" and even the ironically named "Major Movie Star." If you've seen any of these, well, you may want to make better film choices. But Thursday, Guttenberg returns to the spotlight, thanks to "Relatively Speaking," a highly anticipated trio of stand-alone one-act plays written by Woody Allen, Ethan Coen and Elaine May. ( John Turturro directs all three.) It's Guttenberg's first appearance on Broadway in — yes, 20 years. (He replaced Timothy Hutton in "Prelude to a Kiss" in 1991.)"
