Author Notes

Albert Lawrence Brooks was born Albert Lawrence Einstein, but changed his surname so as not to be confused with the famous physicist. He was born on July 22, 1947 and is an American actor. He attended Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, but dropped out after one year to focus on his comedy career.

Brooks has starred in many comedic roles in such films as Unfaithfully Yours, Broadcast News, Defending your Life, I'll Do Anything and The In-Laws. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1987 for Best Supporting Actor in his role played in Broadcast News. In 2011, he published a fiction novel entitled 2030.
