Kenneth Tigar signs an autograph biography.
Autograph Biography signed: "Kenneth Tigar", 1p, 6x9. No place, no date, but circa July 1985. In full: "I started acting at the age of 12 with the Boston Children's Theatre Stagemobile, playing Gepetto in Pinocchio throughout the Boston playground system. I acted everything from Chekhov to Gilbert and Sullivan at Harvard (where I also picked up a B.A. and Ph.D. in German literature). During the late 60's, when not acting, directing, or translating - Brecht, Wedekind, Bûchner - I helped start a cabaret in Cambridge called The Proposition. (Others who came out of this theatre include Jane Curtin, Fred Grandy, Paul Kreppel.) From there I went to Vienna, ostensibly to escape the theatre - but I ended up acting in German with Die Komödianten there for a year. Clearly I could avoid the theatre no longer full time. I went to New York where I acted with the American Place Theatre in, among other plays, Steve Tesich's Baba Goya. Eventually time led me to Los Angeles where I've done scores of television shows including Barney Miller, Hill St. Blues, Lou Grant, Crazy Like a Fox, Special Bulletin, etc." Kenneth Tigar, who has taught acting and directing at the University of Connecticut, has appeared in a number of feature films, made-for-TV movies, been a regular on TV series and guest starred on a long list of shows, from Barney Miller and Wonder Woman in 1976 to Navy NCIS and Will & Grace in 2004. After making his film debut in 1975's The Happy Hooker, Tigar has appeared in such films as Just One of the Guys (1985), Lethal Weapon 2 (1989), Lethal Weapon 3 (1992), Little Bigfoot (1996) and Primal Fear (1996). He has also made a long list of TV movies, including The Babysitter (1980), The Betty Ford Story (1987) and Route 9 (1998). His series recurring roles include Fritz Heath on Dynasty (1988-1989) and Captain Jensen on L.A. Heat (1996). Tigar, also a stage actor and director and Fulbright scholar, has translated a number of German works that have been performed across the U.S. Slightly creased. Fine condition.
