Mini biography
An actor with a talent for mining the neuroses of his characters
for both comedic and dramatic effect and a filmmaker adept at
exploring the philosophical questions at the heart of the human
experience, Adam Goldberg has solidified his position as a
versatile and unique talent.
Goldberg co-wrote and directed the upcoming
feature I Love Your
Work (2003), which
was produced through his production company and
will be released in Los Angeles on November 4th by Think Film. The
film, starring Giovanni Ribisi, Franka Potente, Christina Ricci
and Joshua Jackson, with a cameo by Elvis Costello, is about the
gradual meltdown of a fictional movie star. Goldberg also composed
the film's original music with The Flaming Lips' drummer Steven
Drozd.
Goldberg made his feature film debut in
1991 as Billy Crystal's
younger brother-in-law
in Mr. Saturday Night (1992). Additional
film credits include Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998)
with Tom Hanks, Ron Howard's Edtv (1999), Richard Linklater's ode
to 70's high school life, Dazed and Confused (1993) as well as
Waking Life (2001), John Singleton's Higher Learning (1995),
Gregory Widen's The Prophecy (1995) opposite Christopher Walken,
and lent his voice to George Miller's Babe: Pig in the City
(1998).
As a filmmaker, Goldberg wrote, directed
and starred in the
"neo-noir", Scotch and
Milk (1998), which made its debut in 1998
at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, and was featured on
the Sundance Channel series "10 Best Films You May Never Seen". In
addition, Goldberg directed, co-edited, and produced the comic
documentary short, "Running with the Bulls" for the Independent
Film Channel.
A familiar presence on television, Goldberg's
recent credits
include Marcus Nispel's
made-for-television Film "Frankenstein"
opposite Parker Posey, guest-starring appearances on "Law & Order:
Criminal Intent," "The Practice," "Will & Grace," and a popular
recurring role on "Friends." Additional credits include "The Outer
Limits," "ER" and "NYPD Blue."
Goldberg was born in Los Angeles, and
after many years in New
York, currently
lives there.
