Character actor Paul Dooley joins us for an afternoon of remembrances from his six-decade career, highlighted by a clip reel and followed by a book-signing of his memoir Movie Dad. Randy Haberkamp will moderate the discussion.
Dooley is best remembered as the hilarious father in the film Breaking Away. Paul also appeared as father to Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles. Since then, he has been Dad to Julia Roberts, Toni Collette, Hillary Swank, Mia Farrow and many others.
He has been a part of five Robert Altman movies, including A Wedding, A Perfect Couple, Health, and Popeye, starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall, playing the part of the hamburger-loving “Wimpy.” He can also be seen in several Christopher Guest movies, including Waiting for Guffman. Other film credits include Runaway Bride, Hairspray, and Insomnia.
Among his television credits are a continuing part on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," as well as roles on "The Good Doctor," "Modern Family," "Grey’s Anatomy," "My So-Called Life," "thirtysomething" and "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." Fans of "Bewitched" remember him as the "TV Man" in the "Oedipus Hex" episode.
Paul has been Emmy-nominated twice for Best Supporting Actor, for TV’s The Practice and Dream On. He recently published his memoir, Movie Dad, available now from Applause Books.
