kevin kline

Kevin Kline, equally brilliant in both dramatic and comedic roles, is one of the most highly-respected performers of his generation. He began performing early on, while growing up in the suburbs of St Louis, continued acting throughout college, and attended Juilliard after graduation. In 1972 he joined the New York Acting Company, led by John Houseman, and travelled the country performing Shakespeare and garnering praise for his portrayals of Romeo and Hamlet. Just a few years later he was onstage in New York again, and won a Tony and a Drama Desk award for his work in the Broadway prouction of "On the Twentieth Century." A few years after that, he won the same awards for a second time.

After a short time on a soap opera, Kline appeared in "Sophie's Choice" with Meryl Streep and was rewarded with a Golden Globe nomination - not bad for his feature film debut! The year after he appeared in "The Big Chill" with an all-star cast including John Hurt, Glenn Close and Tom Beringer. In 1987, Kline appeared in Richard Attenborough's powerful drama "Cry Freedom," and the next year he won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his appearance in "A Fish Called Wanda." He earned another Golden Globe nomination for "Soapdish," an otherwise forgettable film. Yet another nomination followed with "Dave" (also featuring Laura Linney), and then another for "In & Out" with Tom Selleck (for which they were both nominated for Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards).

Also appearing in "De-Lovely" is fellow nominee Ashley Judd.
