Pine began his professional acting career Off-Broadway, then in 1968 appeared as Fop in Cyrano de Bergerac at the Vivian Beaumont Theater.[1] A founding member of the avant-garde theater company the Manhattan Project, he appeared in its 1968 production of Alice in Wonderland, directed by Andre Gregory.[2]

In 1978, he made his film debut in James Ivory's Hullabaloo Over Georgie and Bonnie's Pictures, which was made for television but later released theatrically. Since then, he has performed in Louis Malle's Vanya on 42nd Street[3] and Woody Allen's Celebrity, Small Time Crooks,[4] and Melinda and Melinda,[5] among other films. Pine appears in the book Are You Dave Gorman? as the first actor the writer encounters to have played a fictional Dave Gorman (in The Ice Storm). In both The Royal Tenenbaums and The Door in the Floor, he appears as a Charlie Rose-type interviewer, conducting a one-on-one interview in a dark studio.[6] From 1997 to 1999, Pine portrayed Barry Shire on All My Children.[7]

Personal life

Pine was born in Tucson, Arizona. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Texas,[8] and went on to graduate from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts in 1968 with a Master of Fine Arts degree.[9] Since 1969, he has been married to composer and sound designer Margaret Pine (née Rachlin). The couple have one son, Jacob (born 1972).
