Nathan Lane
Perhaps of the three main actors in The Producers , Nathan Lane is the one most associated with comedy, at least for the public. That gesture of his of narrowing his eyes and lowering the ends of his eyebrows while he purses his lips, as if he were always on the verge of crying, has made him famous with only a few renowned movies.
Born in New Jersey in 1956, Lane is a highly regarded stage actor, although film fans will remember him above all for his hilarious leading roles in A Cage of Crickets (1996) and A Hard Little Mouse (1997), but also He has appeared in more interesting films such as Love’s Labor Lost (2000), The Legend of Nicholas Nickleby (2002) or The Boy of Your Life (2004).
In any case, the greatest successes have come to him on the Broadway stage. In 1996, her role in “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” earned her Tony, Outer Critics Circle and Drama Desk Awards. She has also stood out with brilliant roles in “Love! Value! Compassion!”, “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” or “Guys and Dolls”. And of course, before the film version, Lane had already stepped into the shoes of Max Bialystock in the Broadway musical. His work has earned him awards such as the Drama Desk, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Tony and the Olivier.
