November 22, 1921, Long Island, Babylon, New York - October 5, 2004, Los Angeles, California - American comedian and actor.
Real name Jacob Rodney Cohen.
Jacob Cohen began his career as Rodney "Pshelyanafig" Dangerfield at the age of 15 when he started sketching. At 17 he entered the amateur stage. At 19 he had two jobs - a comedian and a singing waiter. As soon as Rodney sang, the visitors threw money at him. For ten years he toured with a comedy troupe, but still - albeit reluctantly - gave up show business. Until the age of 40, it never occurred to him that he needed to resume his career. During the day he stuck out in the office, and in the evening he worked in nightclubs. He even opened his own club, now it is a very famous place in Manhattan. But he still returned so that as many viewers as possible could admire his comedic talent. And not only comedic. A big shock was caused by his role in Oliver Stone's film Natural Born Killers.
