Kevin Kline, who was a member of the legendary inaugural season of The Acting Company (along with Patti LuPone and others), won Tony Awards for On the Twentieth Century in 1978 (at the St. James) and for The Pirates of Penzance in 1981, two roles that made good use of his skills at swashbuckling physical comedy.
Kline was most recently seen on Broadway in the 2007 revival of Cyrano de Bergerac and the 2017 revival of Present Laughter, for which he won his third Tony Award.
He won an Academy Award for his performance in A Fish Called Wanda.
