Bud Cort's claim to fame
Actor, born March 29, 1948. His most famous role to date: 'Harold Chasen' in Harold and Maude (1971). Awarded, from France, a Crystal Star for Best Actor for this film. Also became typecast because of it and left filmmaking for 5 years. Reported to have turned down the part of Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest because director Milos Forman wouldn't give him Jack Nicholson's role. Where are they now?
He lived for a time in France and returned
to US filmmaking in 1977. In 1979, Bud Cort was nearly killed in a car
accident where he suffered a fractured skull, severe facial lacerations, the
loss of several teeth, and a broken arm and leg. He survived, but due to the
medical necessities of his accident, he endured years of plastic surgery and
physical therapy, lost the court case for the accident, and saw his blooming
career slip away from him.
Bud Cort currently lives in Southern California, where he still
acts in theater, film, television, and does voice-over work. His most recent
film is The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou which is scheduled for release in
December 2004.
