Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Although this youthful-looking "everyman" has appeared in some of the 1980s' most successful films, his own standing in the film industry hasn't significantly improved: When producers cast serious dramas or big-budget action flicks, Guttenberg's is a name that, apparently, never comes up. Early film appearances-in The Chicken Chronicles (1977) and The Boys From Brazil (1978)-indicated he had something on the ball, and he showed promise in his first major role, playing the sports fanatic in Barry Levinson's ensemble comedy Diner (1982). That potential went unrealized in a succession of movies in which his apparent overeagerness to please rendered his performances shrill and one-note. Despite having starred in a few clunkers of major proportions, including Can't Stop the Music (1980), The Man Who Wasn't There (1983), High Spirits (1987), and Don't Tell Her It's Me (1990), he has also top-lined the hits Police Academy (1984, and three of the five se- quels), Cocoon (1985), Cocoon 2: The Return (1988), Short Circuit (1986), The Bedroom Window, 3 Men and a Baby (both 1987), and 3 Men and a Little Lady (1990). Guttenberg also appeared on the TV series "Billy" (1979) and "No Soap, Radio" (1982). |  |
