Biografie
DAVID OGDEN STIERS a five timers club member of Walt Disney Feature Animation after playing the Russian Dr Jumba in “Lilo and Stitch” and Fenton Q. Harcourt in “Atlantis” delighting audiences with his comedic timing as Cogsworth the clock in “Beauty and the Beast,” portraying the greedy Governor Ratcliffe in “Pocahontas,” and keeping everyone in the cathedral in line as the archdeacon in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.”
Stiers is perhaps best known to the public for his six-year stint on the hit television show, “M*A*S*H,” in which he portrayed Major Charles Emerson Winchester III. That role earned him two Emmy Award nominations. He subsequently received a third nomination for his work in the NBC miniseries “First Modern Olympics.”
Born in Peoria, Illinois, the actor began his career in the Bay area with the California Shakespeare Festival and, later, the Actor’s Workshop in San Francisco. Following this, he went to New York for advanced acting studies with John Houseman at the Juilliard School and with the graduating class became a charter member of Houseman’s Acting Company. With the latter, he toured in such shows as “The Beggar’s Opera,” “The Three Sisters,” “Measure for Measure” and “The Lower Depths.” On Broadway, Stiers appeared in “Ulysses in Night Town” with Zero Mostel and starred in the hit musical “The Magic Show.”
In the area of motion pictures, Stiers has starred opposite Jim Carrey in “The Majestic” and Woody Allen and Helen Hunt in Woody Allen’s “The Case of The Jade Scorpion. His other credits include “Oh God!,” “Magic,” “The Man With One Red Shoe,” “Better Off Dead,” “Another Woman,” “The Accidental Tourist,” “Doc Hollywood,” “Steal Big, Steal Little,” “Bad Company,” “Mighty Aphrodite,” “Jungle2Jungle,” and “Everyone Says I Love You.” His television work, in addition to his current recurring role of Reverend Purdy in the hit USA Cable series “The Dead Zone”, includes such distinguished programs as “North and South,” “The Innocents Abroad,” “The Day My Bubble Burst,” “Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry,” “Anatomy of an Illness,” “The Final Days,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and voiceover roles for “Disney’s Teacher’s Pet” and “Disney’s House of Mouse.”
Along side of his acting talents, Stiers has conducted many symphony orchestras all over the country including those in Portland, Maine, San Francisco, San Diego, Honolulu, Los Angeles and Chicago. He is very proud of his post as Associate Conductor of The Newport Symphony in Newport, Oregon.
