John Heard Biography

JOHN HEARD

Date of Birth: March 7, 1946

John Heard was born in Washington, D.C., where he studied acting at Catholic University. Audiences know him best as the Macaulay Culkin's forgetful Dad in the first two Home Alone movies. But gossip columnists know him as the former husband of Margot Kidder.

Heard got his start on stage at the Organic Theatre in Chicago, where he won a Theatre World award in 1976. He also earned three Obie Awards for his Off-Broadway work (G.R. Point, Othello, Split) before making his screen debut in Between the Lines.

He went on to appear in Head Over Heels and Cat People before playing opposite Tom Hanks in Big and opposite Meg Foster in The Scarlett Letter for PBS television.
