Early life

[edit]

Edward Kirk Herrmann was born on July 21, 1943, in Washington, D.C., the son of Jean Eleanor (née O'Connor) and John Anthony Herrmann.[5]Of German and Irish descent, Herrmann grew up inGrosse Pointe, Michigan,and graduated fromBucknell University[6]in 1965, where he was a member ofPhi Kappa Psi.He studied acting at theLondon Academy of Music and Dramatic Arton aFulbright Fellowship.[7]

Career

[edit]

Theatre

[edit]

Herrmann began his career in theatre. One of the first professional productions he appeared in was the U.S. premiere ofMichael Weller'sMoonchildrenat theArena Stagein Washington, D.C., in November 1971.[8]He moved with the show to New York City to make his Broadway debut the following year. Herrmann returned to Broadway in 1976 to portray Frank Gardner in the revival ofMrs. Warren's Profession.For his performance he won aTony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play.[9]

Herrmann andDianne Wiestcollaborated as directors on theWilliamstown Theater Festivalin its 1985 offeringNot About Heroes,[10]playing Sassoon. Frank Rich praised the performance: "If Mr. Baker's Wilfred is a bit of an uncomplicated, foursquare boy scout and if Mr. Herrmann's stiff-upper-lipped Siegfried at first arouses deja vu, they form a passionate symbiosis as the darker clouds gather in Act II. Both actors also have a natural way with the rhetoric of their characters' respective canons."[11]During 1988, Herrmann appeared in the New York productionJulius CaesarasGaius Cassius Longinus.[12]Herrmann stated he had joined after becoming tired with constantly having to wear a suit in his prior roles and finding Cassius the most complex of the available roles.[13]Frank Rich opined that Herrmann was the "liveliest of the leads by far" and that he would be better suited in the role of Brutus.[14]In 1988–89, Herrmann starred withAlec Guinnessin the London West End production ofA Walk in the Woods.The play debuted at the Comedy Theater in November 1988, and was directed byRonald Eyre.As theNew York Timesreported, "Mr. Guinness and Mr. Herrmann share the stage uninterrupted for some two hours. The fictional play is rooted in the real-life relationship between a Soviet diplomat and an American negotiator who broke protocol in 1982 and made a private limited arms control deal while taking a stroll in a forest outside Geneva."[15]

Television

[edit]

1970s

[edit]

Herrmann was known for his portrayal of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the television filmsEleanor and Franklin(1976) andEleanor and Franklin: The White House Years(1977)[16](both of which earned him Best ActorEmmy Awardnominations), as well as in the first feature film adaptation of theBroadway musicalAnnie(1982).[17]Reflecting on becoming involved withEleanor and Franklin,Herrmann reflected, "It was a gift. You never get a script that good. Or a cast that good, or a director that good, or a designer that good, or a sponsor that good. And all on the same project? It was just blessed."[18]Joseph McAuley said of Herrmann's casting, "To a generation growing up watching television and the movies, Edward Herrmann was the personification of FDR. As an actor, he stood head and shoulders above everybody else (literally—he was 6'5" ) and he was an inspired choice to play the Depression era/World War II president for a generation who never knew the real man who had long since become an historical figure. "[19]Emily VanDerWerff wrote that while she foundAnnieto be a mediocre film, "Herrmann's warm charm as FDR shines through. He's a kind, compassionate fellow, in a film that's all about the power of positive feeling and kindness."[20]

1980s

[edit]

In 1980 Herrmann starred in an episode ofM*A*S*Has an army surgeon suffering from PTSD, and in 1987 he portrayed Grant Stayton III inOverboardand Max inThe Lost Boys. He was nominated for aTony AwardforPlentyin 1983[21]andEmmy Awardsin 1986 and 1987 for two guest-starring appearances as Father Joseph McCabe onSt. Elsewhere.[22]In 1984, Herrmann playedAlger Hissin thePBSdocudramaConcealed Enemies.[23][24]During a break from filming, Herrmann praised the production: "This is perhaps the most ambitious thing public television has ever done. They were a little nervous about it, because of the cost. But they shouldn't have worried. It smacks of the real thing."[25]

1990s

[edit]

Herrmann appeared in the 1994 television filmDon't Drink the Water.[26]Ken Tucker wrote, "In smaller roles, veteran character actorsAustin Pendleton,Josef Sommer,and Edward Herrmann nail their lines like the seasoned pros they are. "[27]Herrmann portrayedHerman Munsterin theFoxmade-for-television filmHere Come the Munsters,[28]which aired onHalloweenin 1995. Herrmann found the script "silly and funny" and wanted to play a clown again, though also admitting a lack of prior involvement with the originalThe Munsters:"I was way too old. I was out of college. I was going to be an actor. I have always admiredFred,but no, I wasn't swept up in Munstermania at all. I didn't have a lunch box. "[29]In observing the plot ofHere Come the Munsters,Herrmann was reminded of American family values, seeing the production as parodying such beliefs: "In our screenplay, the Munsters arrive here as refugees. We resist attempts to kick us out of the country by a vicious politician who keeps saying, 'America for Americans!'"[30] David Flint[31]and Nick Smithson[32]positively commented on the accuracy of his likeness. He playedTobias Beecher's father onOz.[33]Herrmann earned an Emmy in 1999 for his guest appearances onThe Practice.[34]Also in 1999, Herrmann appeared as President Fellwick in the television miniseriesAtomic Train.[35][36]Ray Richmond commented that Herrmann "makes a swell U.S. President, reassuring and authoritative".[37]

2000s

[edit]

Herrmann portrayed Norman, a strikingly old intern, on ABC'sGrey's Anatomy.From 2000 to 2007, he portrayed Richard Gilmore onThe WB'sGilmore Girls.[38]Series creatorAmy Sherman-Palladinosaid Herrmann had been the first choice to play the character and came in to read the script despite his agent saying he would not: "We sat there in stunned silence as Ed opened the script and proceeded to read. And just like that, Richard Gilmore was sitting in front of us."[39][40]The audition had taken place in New York City; casting director Jill Anthony said his audition and that ofKelly Bishopwere vastly superior to others trying to procure the same roles.[41]Bishop said she gained a friendship with Herrmann based on their similarities: "We, obviously, were older [than the rest of the cast]. But we were also New York actors, and we connected very well. We always did our crossword puzzles together in the hair-and-makeup room."[42][43]Alexis Bledel,who portrayed his character's granddaughter, recalled Herrmann's extensive knowledge and habits during breaks from filming: "Ed was so knowledgeable about theater, TV, and film, and what I remember most is how he would share so much of this knowledge. He loved talking about it so we had those long Friday-night dinner scenes where we'd be sitting at a table all day, and he would share so much."[44]Herrmann enjoyed the relationship between his character and that of Bledel,[45]and was disappointed by the series finale.[46]Caryn James assessed that Herrmann and Bishop succeeded in making their characters likeable[47]while Sarah Schweppe wrote that Herrmann "was such a comforting presence on this show."[48]

2010s

[edit]

In October 2013, Herrmann made an appearance onHow I Met Your Motherin the episode "Knight Vision",playing a minister.[49][50]

Herrmann's death was written in via his character Richard in the 2016 revival ofGilmore Girls,Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.[51][52]Lauren Graham,Herrmann's costar onGilmore Girls,said, "He would have loved this [new series]. His death was just a loss for us personally. It's given the show a new complexity and depth. It's a nice tribute to him."[53][54]Sherman-Palladino toldEntertainment Weekly,"It's safe to say that the death of Richard Gilmore, the death of Ed Herrmann, looms large over everything."[55]Scott Patterson,another costar, agreed with Sherman-Palladino: "[Herrmann's death] left a big void, but Amy honored it beautifully. He's throughout... these stories. It's a wonderful homage to him as a person and to his character as well. It's nice to have him around."[56]After concluding filming, Bishop said of Herrmann, "There was a space where he was supposed to be, so he certainly was with us, and he's very prevalent in the show so that will make everybody happy I think, who'll miss him, but I'm sorry he couldn't be with us."[57]

Film

[edit]

Herrmann's film career began in the mid-1970s, playing supporting roles includingRobert Redford's partner inThe Great Waldo Pepper,[58]a law student inThe Paper Chase,[59]the idle, piano-playing Klipspringer inThe Great Gatsby[60]and oppositeLaurence OlivierinThe Betsy(1978).[61]He again portrayed President Roosevelt inAnnie.

Oliver Jones wrote that Herrmann was in "a rare comic form" in the role.[74]

Herrmann also had a supporting role asWilliam Randolph Hearstin the 2001 filmThe Cat's Meow,starringKirsten DunstasMarion Davies.[75]A. O. Scott praised Herrmann as performing "with remarkable emotional agility"[76]while Kevin Thomas noted the resemblance Herrmann had to Hearst as being better than some of his costars.[77]Herrmann had a small role asJoseph Breenin the 2004 filmThe Aviator,[78]being assessed by Rich Drees as joining several actors in making "memorable moments"[79]and cited byRoger Friedmanof joining other featured actors in creating "lovely cameos".[80]In March 2007, Herrmann had a supporting role inI Think I Love My Wife.[81][82]Kirk Honeycutt lamented Herrmann, along with costarsChris RockandSteve Buscemi,as character actors "wasted on such lightweight roles."[83]
