Woody Allen is an American screenwriter, director, actor, comedian, jazz musician, author. Born on December 1 1935. Started his career at the age of 15, he wrote jokes for a local news paper later on moved on to write jokes for talk shows. Woody's theoretical directorial debut was in "Whats up, Tiger Lilly?" but his real directorial debut was in "Take the Money and Run" After a start of his carrer as a director he started acting and would star or even play a major role in most of his films. Due to this he was placed in a list of directors who would regulary star in theirs movies. List contains directors and actors such as Charles Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock.
His list of movies are dominated by comedies and in alot of them he is playing neurotic character and he plays it well. Because of that it is thought that he is a bit neurotic but in the interwiev for Time he denied that.
In his later movies he tried to transition from comedy into a bit more sereous genres with a bit of dark humour but he still is best known for his romantic comedies and looking at todays romantic comedies its doubtfull that Woody Allens films had any influence on them.
