道格拉斯·基德 Douglas Kidd

Actor Douglas Kidd was born in Vancouver, Canada. He has Austrian, Czechian, Hungarian, and Slovakian ancestry on his father's side, and Irish, Finnish, French, Scottish, and Swedish ancestry on his mother's side. Kidd is perhaps best known for playing clever and often wealthy men. An all-around athlete growing up, Kidd excelled at football, wrestling, track & field, soccer, and ice hockey. In his final year at Windsor High School in North Vancouver he was named "Athlete of the Year" and won a silver medal at the British Columbia High School Wrestling Championships. He was awarded a wrestling scholarship at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and competed at tournaments in Canada and the USA during his first two years. Then, while completing a bachelor's degree in English Literature, Kidd attended a production of Peter Schaffer's play "Amadeus" at the Vancouver Playhouse. The play inspired Kidd to try out for SFU's Theatre Program. He performed a monologue from "Amadeus" as part of his audition and was immediately offered a spot in the Program.
