Jon Cryer’s biography

Jon Cryer is a man with a wrong career. For many actors, the challenge is finding a successful film career after achieving decent success on television. For Cryer, the opposite was true. He would later tick the criteria for success for both mediums with the production of Two and a Half Men. It was the culmination of a journey that began on April 16, 1965 in New York City when he was born to Gretchen Cryer and Donald David Cryer.

Both his parents were professional creatives, with shared skills as singers and actors, while his mother is also a playwright and songwriter. After watching the life of his parents for twelve years, Jon decided to start a life as an actor and set out to make that dream come true by attending the Stagedoor Manor Performing Arts Training Center during the summers while living in the Bronx attended high school of science. His passion drove him to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, a decision not welcomed by his mother.

It all went very well for the actor, who received his first acting credit in Torch Song Trilogy, a Broadway play in 1983, starring David. His first on-screen appearance was for the romantic comedy No Little Thing, in which he was cast at the age of 19 as the lead role, Pretty in Pink which was released in 1986.

However, while he has proven himself capable, he was a writer and a fine actor with success on the big screen and kept hitting blunders on the small screen. He appeared in three shows as part of the lead role, all of which were canceled in the first few seasons, before being cast as Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men. Aside from his failures as a lead in one show, Jon Cryer has been a guest cast member in other shows such as Dharma & Greg, Get Personal, Family Guy, The Trouble With Normal, Hey Joel, The Exercise among some others.

Since his role as Alan Harper, which he starred in for 262 episodes, starred in every single episode of the show throughout its twelve seasons, won two Emmys Awards and was nominated for seven other awards, he has starred in other series such as American Dad, Mom, NCIS, Will & Grace, and Supergirl where he currently appears as Lex Luthor on the hit CW show. Jon Cryer is also an author who published his memoir entitled, That’s How It Happened: A Memoir
