Dan Futterman Biography
Born: June 08, 1967
Most fans got their first taste of Dan Futterman when he played the son of Robin_Williams in 1996's The_Birdcage. Futterman actually began his professional acting career in 1991, however, when he was cast in the stage production of +Club Soda just two years after he graduated from Columbia University. He continued with other successful stage roles, like Louis Ironson in the Broadway production of +Angels in America in 1993.
It was around this same time that Futterman began his on-screen career, appearing in the TV movie Daughters of Privilege, and in his first feature-film role with the critically acclaimed The_Fisher_King in 1991. Steady work continued to come until the 32-year-old actor was cast in a recurring role in the series Judging_Amy in 1999. He stayed with the show until its run ended in 2005. It was around this time that another of Futterman's projects got off the ground as well; he'd been working on a screen adaptation of Gerald_Clarke's book -Capote, and it was in 2005 that the script's final product was released in theaters to a flood of success and praise. The film was nominated for five Oscars, and star Philip_Seymour_Hoffman took one home for Best Actor. Futterman had officially launched a successful career as a screenwriter, but he wasn't through working in front of the camera. In 2007, he signed on to play Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in the film A_Mighty_Heart. Appearing opposite Angelina_Jolie, Futterman portrayed the reporter, who was so tragically kidnapped and murdered while working in Pakistan, leaving his wife, Mariane (Jolie), to investigate his death.
