Actor

The Resume

    (January 8, 1909-January 26, 1992)
    Birth name was José Vincente Ferrery Centron
    Father of actor Mel Ferrer
    Married to singer Rosemary Clooney
    Won the 1950 Oscar for Best Actor (Cyrano De Bergerac)
    Acted in 'Moulin Rouge,' 'The Shrike,' 'Joan of Arc,' 'The Caine Mutiny,' 'A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy,' 'Lawrence of Arabia'
    He is the father of Miguel Ferrer

Why he might be annoying:

    Despite a long career on stage and film, he is really only remembered for one role (Cyrano de Bergerac)
    When he played Cyrano on stage, the production was directed by Mel Ferrer, who was no relation.
    Ferrer did such a bad job directing Ferrer that Joshua Logan had to be brought in to redirect the production.
    He was subpoenaed by the McCarthy hearings immediately after his nomination as a suspected communist, and he used the publicity to ballyhoo his patriotism.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He began Princeton University at fifteen.
    He has five honorary degrees.
    He was blacklisted.
    He is the only actor to receive an Oscar, Emmy and Tony nomination for the same role (Cyrano de Bergerac).
    He also did the voice of Cyrano in a cartoon, as well as play him in a Spanish film.
    He won the very first Tony Award for Best Actor, for 'Cyrano de Bergerac.'
    He got an Oscar nomination for his first film role (the Dauphin in 'Joan of Arc').
    He strapped his legs behind him to play Toulouse-Latrec in 'Moulin Rouge.'
    He was the first Puerto Rican to win the Best Actor Oscar.
