After nearly 60 years on TV, stage and in films, the Emmy- and Tony-winning actor has perfected the art of turning the Everyman into someone extraordinary – and now, at 87, he's earned his second Oscar nomination, for Steven Spielberg's 'The Fabelmans.'
Hirsch said,"The pride I took in being in this movie was greater than any that I've ever had to be in any other movie. I had to bring it, be him, all by myself."
At college, Hirsch was well on his way to becoming an engineer, with just one semester to go. But his circuits weren't connecting. "Three-and-a-half years to a four-year degree, and dropped everything," he said."It was like … a little voice saying, 'You want to be happy, or do you want to be the same guy you've been all this time?'"
Hirsch landed commercials; he had this comforting familiarity to him. The ads led to some small parts in movies, like"Serpico," and eventually, a big break: An offer to be the voice of reason in a new series about quirky New York cabbies.
