Originally from Bethesda, Maryland, Daniel Stern has been acting professionally since the age of seventeen. Following his high school graduation, he auditioned for the Washington Shakespeare Festival seeking a job as a lighting engineer but ended up as "a strolling player with a lute" in their production of "As You Like It." Shortly thereafter, he made his way to New York where he "took a couple of acting lessons" and began to assemble an impressive portfolio of such off-Broadway crdits as "Split," "Frankie and Annie," "The Mandrake," and "The Old Glory." In addition, director Peter YatesMore cast him as one of the four Indiana teenagers in the highly acclaimed film "Breaking Away." Variety in acting roles appeals to Stern. Following "Breaking Away," he appeared in Woody Allen's "Stardust Memories," Claudia Weill's "It's My Turn" and John Schlesinger's "Honky Tonk Freeway" before returning to New York to appear off-Broadway in the two character play "How I Got That Story," which led to critical acclaim and a starring role in Barry Levinson's "Diner." Other film credits include "I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can," "Blue Thunder," "Hannah and Her Sisters," "The Boss's Wife," "The Milagro Beanfield War," "Born in East L.A." and "D.O.A." In addition to his voice-over work on the series, Stern directed several episodes of the popular and critically acclaimed television comedy, "The Wonder Years."

    This guy cracks me up everytime i see him! hide show

    Daniel Stern is the funniest person in every movie he's been in! Like in Bushwacked,when he's walking down the street with his cigarite in his mouth,leather jacket,long curly hair and in the background they play the song "Staying Alive"! Or when he's been mistaken for a boy scout leader and he's teaching the boys how to all pee over a cliff while saying, "swing them high and swing them low"! Dude this guy is the COOLEST!

    Daniel Stern is one of the best hide show

    A great actor, hes acting is top notch in all of his movies. Home Alone and Home Alone 2 he played Marv great his scream was funny I never exepected a bandit could sould like a girl when he screams. City Slickers and City Slickers 2 another two movies where he is at his best some what goofy but not as much as in the home alone moves, my other favorite movie of his is bushwacked where he plays a guy on the run that stumbles on a scout troop and is mistaked for they troop leader, he has been in other movies but those are the ones I like the best.
