Paul Giamatti Stars in Lady in the Water
Fellow Bald Man, Paul Giamatti, is opening the new M. Night Shyamalan film, Lady in the Water, tonight. Shyamalan has called the story “a fairy tale for adults,” and Giamatti, whose been on your screen regularly for a decade, is in nearly every scene as apartment building superintendent, Cleveland Heep.
I can look back and remember seeing Giamatti in all kinds of small roles: Donnie Brasco, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and Saving Private Ryan to name a few. His portrayal of Bob Zmuda in Man on the Moon is the first supporting (as opposed to minor) role I remember. After last year’s breakout, winning a SAG and receiving Acadamy and Golden Globe nominations for his work in Cinderella Man, Giamatti is everywhere. He is in a half-dozen films this year, and four (so far!) next.
Bald Facts on Paul Giamatti:
- He is the son of A. Bartlett Giamatti, late president of Yale University and former major league baseball commissioner. A. Bartlett Giamatti is probably best known for his feud with Pete Rose.
- He graduated from Yale University with a bachelor’s in English, and again from Yale University School of Drama with a master’s in drama. While studying he worked for a time as a janitor. Relating it to his current role: “I told Night I was already very familiar with cleaning toilets. No need for research on that front.”
- On himself: “I’ve got to be the geekiest guy in the world in a lot of ways. I’m like a zeta male.”
