Stanley Lloyd Kaufman Jr. Wiki Biography

Stanley Lloyd Kaufman, Jr. was born on 30 December 1945, in New York City, USA, and is an actor, screenwriter, producer, and director, perhaps best known for being the co-founder of the Troma Entertainment film studio alongside Michael Herz. He’s directed a lot of their studio’s feature films such as “Tromeo and Juliet and “The Toxic Avenger”, but all of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it is today.

So just how rich is Lloyd Kaufman? As of early-2017, sources estimate a net worth that is at $2 million, earned through the success of his numerous endeavors. He’s worked in the film industry since the late 1960s, and has also written several books over the course of his career. All of these achievements have ensured the position of his wealth.

Lloyd attended Yale University, majoring in Chinese studies. He originally had the intention of doing social work but later on he would be introduced to cinema, and discovered his real passion. He started watching a lot of theatre productions and would often read Punch magazine. In 1966, he went on hiatus from his studies and spent time serving as a pathfinder for the Peace Corps. After he returned, he produced the film “Rappaccini” and would then try his hand at directing his first feature film, entitled “The Girl Who Returned”. After graduating, he worked for Cannon Films and started collaborating with John G. Avildsen. They made low budget movies such as “Joe” and “Cry Uncle” before Kaufman went on to direct “The Battle of Love’s Return” which attracted positive reviews, and he then worked on “Sugar Cookies” and “Big Gus, What’s the Fuss?” Afterwards, was involved with “Saturday Night Fever” as the executive in charge of locations. In the 1970s, Lloyd would also direct several adult films such as “The Newcomers” and “The Divine Obsession”.

In 1974, Kaufman would found Troma Entertainment and focus on producing independent comedy as well as action films. He worked as a freelancer to pay the bills, which led to his involvement in “Rocky” and “The Final Countdown”. He then wrote, directed, and produced “Stuck on You!”, “Waitress!” and “The First Turn-On!” which proved to be profitable. In 1985 he worked on “The Toxic Avenger”, which would become his most popular film, increasing his net worth significantly and spawning numerous sequels, comic books, merchandise, and much more. After releasing “Troma’s War” which was a box office failure, the popularity of the film studio started to go down, and soon they would downsize to an independent film studio. He then released “Tromeo and Juliet” which was popular with both critics and audiences, but “Terror Firmer” and “Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV” which were not successful at the box office.

The film company continued to struggle financially, though would still continue to produce independent films. In 2008, a stage version of “The Toxic Avenger” was released, and afterwards Lloyd would focus on other film projects, including “The Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie” and “Return to Class of Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 1”.

For his personal life, it is known that Kaufman has been married to Pat Swinney since 1974, and they have three children.

Stanley Lloyd Kaufman Jr. Quotes

• Troma may let you down when it comes to a lot of things, but never, ever, will we fuck you over when it comes to a crushed skull.
• That’s not saying that all mainstream movies are bad. I just recently saw this film called… Inception (2010). I think it was a really low budget movie, it didn’t look expensive. But I think Leonardo DiCaprio was pretty good. So there’s good stuff. But 90% of it is baby food, you can live off baby food but it’s really boring.
• I don’t make crappy movies. I spend two or three years making a film. I don’t take myself seriously, but I take my movies very seriously.
• I’m working on a movie called Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006). It’s about how the masses are being fed the Kool-Aid by the major media and then, like zombies, go out and eat junk food. That’s what the “Grindhouse” thing is all about. The major media gets word from the giant, devil-worshiping international conglomerates that own it, that say, “Now it’s time to promote Dreamgirls”, and therefore it’s Dreamgirls 24/7. We live in an age of zombies, and it’s particularly appropriate that I’m working on a zombie movie. So, here we’ve got big media saying, “OK, the big conglomerates have produced a movie called “Grindhouse” for 50 million dollars, so let’s brainwash everybody into going to see “Grindhouse”. Now I, Lloyd Kaufman, have a feeling that “Grindhouse” will be a good movie because Tarantino and the other guy are definitely talented directors, so I’m quite confident it will be worthwhile.
• The thing I find about the movie industry is that 99 percent of the people are absolute scum. They’re horrible people, they really are. Very nasty killer rabbits who hate movies. But the other 1 percent are really the greatest, most wonderful people in the world. They love movies–the art of movies and the business of the movies.
• I like fat people more then I like thin people, things are always a lot more funnier when they happen to fat people.
• I’m from the ’60s but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa. I never liked Peter Paul & Mary or The Carpenters and, despite being the era of “free love”, I still had to pay for it.
• The person who goes to the Troma movie knows that he or she may love the Troma movie or, he or she may hate the Troma movie; but the movie goer knows that he or she will never forget the Troma movie.
• In our racist, sexist society, Christmas is the eight hours when we stop killing each other and gratuitous overeating is encouraged so that the starving and other people in the world can die!
