Born in St. Louis, Kline studied music and drama at Indiana University.

For four years he toured the country playing leading roles in classic plays by Sheridan, Ibsen, Chekov, Congreve and Shakespeare before making his Broadway debut in 1978 in the Hal Prince musical "On the Twentieth Century." As the outrageously vain matinee idol Bruce Granit, he received critical raves, as well as a Drama Desk and the first of two Tony Awards.<P> Two years later he again appeared on Broadway as The Pirate King in Joseph Papp's reworking of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance." Once again he received a Tony and a Drama Desk award, as well as his first Obie award for the production's first staging in Central Park.<P> His motion picture debut was Alan J. Pakula's "Sophie's Choice," in which he starred opposite Meryl Streep. His performance was nominated for both the BAFTA and Golden Globe awards. Kline's subsequent films have included "The Pirates of Penzance," "Violets Are Blue," "Cry Freedom," "Dave," "Soapdish," "Princess Caraboo," "The Ice Storm," "Fierce Creatures" and "A Fish Called Wanda." For the latter, he received a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award®. Kline has also enjoyed a long film partnership with Lawrence Kasdan, who has directed him in no less than five films: "The Big Chill," "Silverado," "I Love You to Death," "Grand Canyon" and "French Kiss." <P> In l992 Kline directed and starred in "Hamlet" at New York's Public Theatre. The production received five Drama Desk nominations, including two for Kline as director and actor. Kline went on to co-direct a taped version for the PBS Great Performance series. <P> Immediately following the release of "In & Out," Kline will be featured in Ang Lee's critically acclaimed drama, "Ice Storm." He will also be seen this season on stage at Lincoln Center in Chekov's "Ivanov."<P> Kline is married to actess Phoebe Cates.<P> </FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=BOTTOM COLSPAN=2 HEIGHT=150> <P> <IMG SRC="images/para_sp.gif" ALT="Paramount/Spelling Films" WIDTH="220" HEIGHT="52" BORDER="0"> </P> <BR> Copyright © 1997 by <A HREF="http://www.paramount.com"><FONT COLOR="#339966">Paramount Pictures</FONT></A> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
