BIOGRAPHY OF DAN AYKROYD
Actor. He was born in Canada and studied at Carleton University in Ottawa. He left his studies in 1969 to go to Toronto where he began working as a stage actor at the Second City Stage Group. In 1975 he moved to New York and appeared, along with comedian John Belushi, on the famous NBC TV show “Saturday Night Live”. The couple Aykroyd – Belushi affirmed their success on the big screen in 1980 with “The Blues Brothers” by John Landis. Aykroyd himself is the author of the screenplay alongside Landis. In 1983 he returned to acting for John Landis but this time alongside Eddie Murphy in “A Chair for Two”. The same year he marries actress Donna Dixon. The couple has three daughters, Danielle, born in 1989, Kingstone Belle in 1993 and Stella Irene August in 1998. Another great success awaits him after “A chair for two”: “Ghostbusters – Ghostbusters”, of which he is author and co-writer. what an interpreter. The film is blockbuster in the United States and Europe and the success is repeated in 1989 with the sequel “Ghostbusters II – Ghostbusters II”. His career continues with comedies such as “The Raid” (1987) and “I Married an Alien” (1988), but it is for the drama “Walking with Daisy” (1989) that he gets an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. In the nineties he starred in various unsuccessful films such as “Chaplin” (1992) “Sergeant Bilko” (1996). The long-awaited sequel “The Blues Brothers – The myth continues” (2000) is also disappointing compared to the first. He moved on to playing minor roles in Woody Allen’s “The Curse of the Jade Scorpion” (2001), “The House of Joy” (2000) and “Pearl Harbor” (2001).
