Richard Dreyfus

Richard Dreyfuss is one of the most talented actors of his generation and an outspoken critic of censorship in Hollywood and its mandated diversity and inclusion requirements.

Dreyfuss was the then-youngest to win an Academy Award for best actor, which he won at age 30 for his performance in The Goodbye Girl (1977). By then he had already starred in megahit movies including American Graffiti and Jaws. He also had an uncredited cameo performance years earlier in The Graduate.
