Beloved Hollywood icon Danny DeVito, 78, has had a remarkable career — from “Taxi” to “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” — delving into the despicable.
He doesn’t look like a movie star. He doesn’t act like one, either. And if a role requires DeVito to disrobe and get ‘greased up like a halibut,’ so be it.
Some roles — Louie, Harry Wormwood in “Matilda” — require the Full DeVito: the snarl and bite, the heavy step, the devious chortle. But he can go quiet. DeVito is capable of doing something else entirely: maternally oppressed Owen Lift in “Throw Momma From the Train” or damaged, unloved Oswald Cobblepot in “Batman Returns.” Of the latter, DeVito said, “That’s in a class of its own. That’s operatic. It’s like all of a sudden I became Pavarotti.
more than a half-century ago after DeVito asked if he liked to get high. “He will steal every scene. He has a wonderful freedom as an actor,” Douglas said. “Know how some people lock into a scene? Until the final cut, Danny is always looking for new things to do.” DeVito “totally transcends height,” Specktor said. Yet it’s also his calling card. DiCaprio can don a cap and shades, attempt to melt into a crowd. Not so DeVito. “I’m pretty recognizable. It’s hard to hide me,” he said.he spotlight has shined on him since birth. DeVito had two sisters: Angie, 16 years older, and Theresa, 10 years older.“I was the prince,” he said, a prince of the Jersey Shore. “My parents always encouraged me to do whatever I wanted.
Fifteen minutes after Rob McElhenney made the pitch at DeVito’s house, the star called the “Sunny” co-creator in the car and said, “I’m in.” The young cast was“Why is this man doing this? It’s such a bad career decision on his part,” Howerton recalled them asking after DeVito agreed to play Frank, a character almost twice their age and just as foolish. “I’m so impressed with his willingness to take risks at this late stage in his career.
“My dad is very sensitive and pretty vulnerable even though he comes off as having this hard Jersey shell,” Lucy DeVito said. “He’s quite a softy. He cries at movies. He cries at commercials.”large part of DeVito’s appeal is that he never appears to be working — and yet he’s always working. His default mode is loose. He’s an unrepentant ham, always on but seemingly chill. During a photo shoot for The Washington Post, time ceased to be an issue.
DeVito saw the wisdom in making the family classic “Matilda,” which he directed, produced, narrated and performed in, and which remains among his favorites.
