Ed Begley Jr. Scroll down for movie list. Tall, blond-haired character actor and occasional leading man; more handsome than his father, but not exactly what you'd call a matinee idol. Born and raised in Hollywood, he got into the family business right out of college, debuting in Now You See Him, Now You Don't (1972). He had supporting roles in such varied films as The In-Laws (1979), Cat People (1982), This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Amazon Women on the Moon (1987), and The Accidental Tourist (1988), and is still basically considered a secondstringer, but he snagged male leads in She-Devil (1989) and Meet the Applegates (1991), which exercised his comedic skills. Also known for his Emmynominated performance as Dr. Ehrlich on the "St. Elsewhere" TV series (1982-88), he starred in 1994's "Winnetka Road." Recent films include Greedy and Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (both 1994). |  |
