Danny DeVito is turning 72 today. He began acting in the early 1970s, but didn’t begin to make a name for himself until the end of the decade, winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for playing dispatcher Louie De Palma on Taxi. He began getting prominent feature roles in the 1980s, such as playing comic villain Ralph in Romancing the Stone, and in 1986 had the role of a man who’d like to be rid of his wife:

The late 1980s saw DeVito directing and starring in Throw Momma from the Train and The War of the Roses. Some of his major roles in the 1990s included The Penguin in Batman Returns, Martin Weir in Get Shorty, Sid Hudgens in L.A. Confidential, and George Shapiro, Andy Kaufman’s agent, in Man on the Moon. In the last decade, he has returned to television, starring on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
