Academy Award nominee GREG KINNEAR continues to build upon his already impressive resume with roles in a number of highly diverse projects. Kinnear was recently seen in the thriller THE MATADOR opposite Pierce Brosnan and will next appear in Disney’s INVINCIBLE, opposite Mark Wahlberg, and The Weinstein Company’s UNKNOWN, as well as Richard Linklater’s ensemble drama FAST FOOD NATION. This summer he will begin production on Robert Benton’s FEAST OF LOVE opposite Morgan Freeman.
The last few years have been quite busy for Kinnear. He has starred in THE BAD NEWS BEARS opposite Billy Bob Thornton, lent his voice to “Ratchet” in the successful animated film ROBOTS, and worked opposite Robert De Niro and Rebecca Romijn in the thriller GODSEND. In 2002 Kinnear starred in the critically-acclaimed biopic of actor Bob Crane, AUTO FOCUS, from director Paul Schrader, and lit up the small screen in the Norman Jewison HBO movie DINNER WITH FRIENDS alongside LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE co-star Toni Collette, plus Dennis Quaid and Andie MacDowell. Some of Kinnear’s other credits include the Vietnam War film WE WERE SOLDIERS opposite Mel Gibson, the Farrelly brothers’ comedy STUCK ON YOU alongside Matt Damon, and the hit romantic comedy YOU’VE GOT MAIL with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
In 1997, Kinnear starred as Jack Nicholson’s unfortunate neighbor Simon in the hit James L. Brooks film AS GOOD AS IT GETS. Kinnear’s performance earned an Academy Award nomination, the National Board of Review’s award for Best Supporting Actor plus nominations from the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild.
Kinnear made his feature film debut in the Sydney Pollack-directed remake SABRINA in which he co-starred with Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond. Kinnear first gained prominence as the wisecracking host of E! Entertainment Television's “Talk Soup” in 1991, which rapidly became a cult hit. In 1994, Kinnear became the host and executive producer of the NBC late-night talk show “Later with Greg Kinnear.”
