Dennis Dugan, actor-comedian, director of commercial mass cinema, was born on September 5, 1946 in Winton, Illinois. Since the 70s, Dennis has starred a lot in television series. These were secondary roles that did not bring him much fame then. Both viewers and filmmakers paid attention to him only in 1976 after participating in the comedy Harry and Walter Go to New York.
In 1979, another comedy was released - "The Astronaut and King Arthur", where the actor again proved the extraordinaryness of his talent. At the same time, his roles in the series became more noticeable: for example, the role of a young officer in the film “My Name is Colombo” (Columbo, 1986) or the husband of the heroine Sybill Shepherd in four episodes of the series “Moonlighting Detective Agency” (Moonlighting, 1988). In the latter case, Dugan also acted as a director.
In the 90s, Dennis Dugan increasingly acts as a director. Among his most famous films are
"Difficult child" "Bitch", "National Security", "Pretend to be my wife" and others.
Dennis likes to pinch film critics. More than once he was accused of the primitiveness of humor, and in the rudeness of jokes, and in the use of templates, and even in plagiarism. Despite this, his films enjoy watching, and he is considered one of the most commercially successful directors in Hollywood.
