Biography of Alan Rosenberg
Early Life and EducationAlan Rosenberg is an American film and theater actor, and the current president of the Screen Actors Guild. He was born and raised in Passaic, New Jersey. His older brother, Mark, was a political activist turned film producer, and one of his cousins is musician Donald Fagen. Despite his parents leaving him enough money for education, Rosenberg became heavily involved in backgammon, becoming the state champion of New York in 1982. He later developed a passion for poker, which proved to be detrimental as he lost a significant portion of his inheritance. As a result, Rosenberg could only afford to study at the Yale School of Drama, which he ultimately dropped out of.
