Tom Shadyac Wiki Biography
Thomas Peter Shadyac, also known simply as Tom, is an American author, TV producer, director, screenwriter, comedian and actor who has net worth as high as $1,5 million. He is best known as the director of movies “The Nutty Professor”, “I Am”, “Liar Liar”, and “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective”. Additionally he has worked at the Pepperdine Universty as an adjunct professor, and Shadyac is also a person who donates a huge amount of his earnings to various charities, particularly after he experienced a severe accident on the road while riding his bike, so now he is known as an activist in different health sciences programs.
Thomas Peter Shadyac was born on December 11, 1958, in Falls Church, Virginia, United States. He was raised in a family of Chrisians and Jews, however, his mother Julia Shadyac died from cancer in the 1998, before which she was wheelchair-bound and cared-for by her son.
Shadyac graduated from the Unversity of Virginia and moved to Los Angeles at the age of 23. Only one year after he started his activity in a show business. Shadyac made his successful debut as the director of “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” in which Jim Carrey, Sean Young and Courteney Cox starred. He has since directed many other movies, such as “Liar Liar” in 1997, “Patch Adams” in 1998, “Dragonfly” in 2002, “Bruce Almighty” in 2003, and others. However, his career and the beginning of Shadyac’s increasing net worth started even earlier, in 1984, when Shadyac debuted as an actor in the TV show “Magnum, P. I.”. Three years later he made an appearance on screen again when playing Chris in the teenagers comedy “Jocks” directed by Steve Carver. The interesting thing is that Shadyac started to raise his net worth as an actor, later he became a producer, but only in the year 2015 is he going to be the writer, actor, producer and director of the one movie, “Ernest: The Movie”. However, Tom Shadyac’s net worth is also thanks to the documentary film “I Am”, released in 2002.
Shadyac’s net worth has also increased thanks to his work as a writer. In 2013 Shadyac published a book entitled “Life’s Operating Manual” which was successful partly because it was released by such a popular personality. Naturally, he became even more famous.
Talking about personal life, Thomas married Jennifer Barker in 1997; she is also an actress, however, the couple divorced almost immediately, and since then Shadyac has lived alone. Today Shadyac continues an active life in the world of show business as producer, writer and director.
