A brief introduction of Billy Crystal

Crystal was a natural entertainer and had no fears about dancing on stage with top jazz stars.

Crystal studied film and television direction under Martin Scorsese at New York University.

After graduation and marriage, Crystal did substitute teaching while he tried his comedy act at various clubs throughout New York.

In the seventies the Crystal family moved to Los Angeles. Crystal did some stand-up at the Comedy Store and was noticed by Norman Lear. This was the turning point, Crystal started making guest appearances on TV and eventually landed his role in “Soap”.

In the eighties Crystal moved his family back to New York. There he appeared on cable TV, did guest spots and made-for-TV movies. Back on the stand-up circuit, Crystal became famous for his Fernando Lamas and Sammy Davis, Jr. impersonations.

He and his impersonations joined the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1984. He spent only one year with the show, but was the most popular member of the cast and he earned an Emmy nomination for Best Individual Performance.

His ambition now is to have a one-man show on Broadway. He has the practice from his years of being one of the most popular emcees of the Oscar Awards.

His opening tributes to the nominees are anticipated every year and talked about more than the winners. 课后作业
