A St. Louis native and Priory School graduate, Kevin Kline won Tony Awards for On
the Twentieth Century and The Pirates of Penzance before leading roles in Sophie's
Choice (1982) and The Big Chill (1983) made him a Hollywood star. Adept at comedy
and drama on stage and screen, Kline won an Academy Award for his madcap
performance in A Fish Called Wanda and received accolades for his stage
interpretations of Richard III and Hamlet. Refusing to abandon his passion for theater
while working in films as diverse as Dave and Cry Freedom, Kevin Kline often has been
called the "American Olivier."
