Ethan Embry is an American actor. He was born on 13 June 1978 as Ethan
Philan Randall. He started acting in 1991, at age 13. He changed his last
name to Embry in 1996. He married Amelinda Smith on 14 November 1998. They
had one child together, Cogeian Sky Embry, born 10 December 1999. Embry and
Smith divorced in 2002.
Born June 13, 1978, Ethan Embry grew up to be one of the few child stars to
make a reasonably successful transition to adult (or at least young adult)
roles. Beginning with his starring role in the ill-fated John Hughes vehicle
Dutch (1991), in which he co-starred with Ed O'Neill, Embry went on to find
steady work throughout the 1990s, maturing from child actor to drool
material for teenage girls everywhere.

Following Dutch (in which he was credited as Ethan Randall), Embry had a
minor role in the Albert Brooks comedy Defending Your Life (1991), and then
in the same year starred in All I Want For Christmas with Leslie Neilsen.
His next substantial role was in the 1993 teen adventure film A Far-Off
Place, in which he starred with Reese Witherspoon. The film met with
lukewarm response, which was best summed up by Empire Magazine with the
statement "Potential date-movie for environmentally aware thirteen year-olds."
Embry's subsequent film, Empire Records (1995), met with a similarly
negative reception, although it did attain a certain cult status among
hormonally-aware teenage girls.
After Empire, Embry was involved in two high profile projects, Tom Hanks'
That Thing You Do and Ridley Scott's White Squall (both 1996). Neither film
did particularly well, although the latter allowed Embry to appear with a
virtual Who's Who line-up of up-and-coming male actors including Ryan
Phillippe and Scott Wolf. Next up was Vegas Vacation (1997), the latest in
the National Lampoon odessey, followed by Montana (1998) and two teen
invasion showcases, Can't Hardly Wait, with Jennifer Love Hewitt and
Disturbing Behavior (both 1998). |
