| Ed Greenberg (Kip Pullman) Like his co-star, John Brent, Ed Greenberg was working for the improv theatre, "The Committee" when he was hired to be in Graffiti. A U.C. Berkeley graduate, Greenberg has acted in and directed sit-coms, and developed shows as a producer. He has also done voice-over work in hundreds of radio and T.V. ads. He continues to lecture and teach improv and acting techniques at various schools in the Los Angeles area. "He's so neat." |
| Most of the main stars in American Graffiti went on to do great things in "Hollyweird" and everybody knows it. I mean, I don't need to tell you about Harrison Ford or Ron Howard's career. However, you might not be familiar with some of the other faces from the film. So here is "Kip baby's" attempt at compiling some brief information on these folks and their careers just before and directly after they starred in Graffiti. Here goes: |
| Joe Spano (Vic Lozier) Born: July 7, 1946 Birthplace: San Francisco, CA Joe Spano is probably the most famous face of all the character actors in Graffiti. A native of San Francisco, Spano is a graduate of U.C. Berkeley and a classically trained stage actor with experience in improvisational-comedy. He was a member of the Berkeley Repertory Theatre when he was hired to be in Graffiti. His only film experience at the time was in the 1972 feature, One is a Lonely Number (aka Two is a Happy Number). Spano played the part of Vic Lozier, Debbie's sleazy ex-boyfriend in Graffiti. After his bit role in the movie, he made his first T.V. appearance in a 1974 episode of the crime-drama, The Streets of San Francisco. Later, in 1980 he became a regular on the NBC T.V. police-drama, Hill Street Blues. If I list all of this talented actors' notable acting achievements I'm going to get carpal tunnel. |
| John Brent (Car Salesman) Before he played that obnoxious cars salesman in Graffiti, John Brent was in several movies including 1970's Catch-22. He was also a member of San Francisco's hip and popular improvisational troupe, The Committee directed by Del Close. |

| Before Graffiti, Debralee Scott had an un-credited role in the 1971 Clint Eastwood classic, Dirty Harry. Ms. Scott was 19 years old when she played one of Falfa�s girlfriends in the film. At the time, it was difficult to tell her comedic potential when her only line in Graffiti was, "Ain�t he neat?" She became a regular during the 1975-76 T.V. season of sit-com Welcome Back Kotter playing the role of Rosalie "Hotzie" Totzie. She was also a regular on the T.V. comedy, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman in 1976. Her outgoing personality and flirtatiousness earned her a regular position as a panelist on the 70s game show, Match Game. Scott continued to act, apearing in two "Police Academy" movies, including the first, but she later retired from acting and became an agent with Empowered Artists. |
