Biography
Wiry character actor Paul Gleason attended Florida State University before making his first off-Broadway appearance in a 1973 revival of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Gleason's inaugural movie role was Long Tom in Doc Savage (1975), after which he worked extensively in Roger Corman productions. He is best known for his scowling, obstreperous portrayals of minor authority figures: the principal in The Breakfast Club (1985), the police chief in Die Hard (1988), and so on. He was at his most abrasive—and his funniest—as FBI agent Clarence Beeks in Trading Places (1982). A familiar TV presence since his days as David Thornton on the ABC serial All My Children, Paul Gleason has had recurring roles on such nighttimers as Spooner, Supercarrier and One West Waikiki. Throughout the '90s Gleason continued to work steadily as a character actor appearing in films as diverse as National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1, Running Cool, Maniac Cop 3, and Nothing to Lose. Like his Breakfast Club co-star Molly Ringwald, Gleason willingly spoofed his most iconic performance in the 2001 comedy Not Another Teen Movie. In May of 2006, at the age of 67, Gleason perished from mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer often suffered by people exposed to asbestos.
Attended and played football at Florida State University along with fellow actors Burt Reynolds and Robert Urich.
Reportedly owned a restaurant.
1966 graduate of Florida State University
Was chased by Carl Strano's character in an episode of "The A-Team" (1983). They also acted together in an episode of "Hill Street Blues" (1981).
Decided to become an actor in 1961 after seeing Splendor in the Grass (1961) with his friend, author Jack Kerouac.
Played minor league baseball in the 50s
Died three weeks after being diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is a rare form of lung cancer that is linked to asbestos.
Member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Actors Branch)
