Dylan Baker is an American actor best known for playing supporting roles in
both major studio movies Spider-Man 2 as Dr. Curt Conners a.k.a. The Lizard)
and independent films.
Born on October 7, 1959 in Syracuse, New York, Baker was raised in Maryland,
where he began his acting career as a teenager in regional theater
productions. In 1986, after graduating from the College of William and Mary,
he performed in an off-Broadway production of Not About Heroes, co-starring
Edward Herrmann and directed by Diane Wiestand -- winning an Obie Award for
his performance.

After graduating from the Yale School of Drama, he scored on Broadway in
such diverse roles as a yuppie (opposite fellow "Murder One" cast mate
Patricia Clarkson) in Richard Greenberg's Eastern Standard (1989)--for which
he won a Theater World Award--and as the Prince in the modern verse play "La
Bete" (1991).
He made his film debut in the 1987 John Candy-Steve Martin comedy, Planes,
Trains, and Automobiles. By 1995, he was a regular on the television dramas
Feds and Murder One.
Baker first became well-known beyond New York City in 1998 when he appeared
in Todd Solondz's ensemble black comedy Happiness, taking on the extremely
controversial role of a closeted pedophile who rapes two of his young son's
friends. Baker was critically lauded for playing such an unsympathetic role
as a three-dimensional human being rather than as a one-sided monster. While
the film was criticized for the way in which the role was written, it
launched Baker's career.
In addition to roles in films such as Thirteen Days, The Cell, and Kinsey,
Baker has also appeared extensively on the Broadway stage and on television,
in shows such as Law & Order and the short-lived sitcom The Pitts.
In 1990 he married actress Becky Gelke, now known professionally as Becky
Ann Baker. They have one child (born 1993) and reside in New York City. |
