Biography of Billy Crudup
As a youngster he lived in Texas and Florida, finding roles in school pageants and developing funny impersonations to entertain family and friends. Known as much for his rigorous career choices as for his talent and chiseled good looks, Billy Crudup has been straddling the line between serious actor and “it” leading man for several years. In 2000, with three major films in release, Crudup’s already bustling movie career reached a fever pitch. Crudup was born in Manhasset, New York (a Long Island suburb) in 1968, the middle child in a family of three boys. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina (where he confirmed his interest in acting), then went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University in 1994.
