The multi-talented Todd Field has acted in a number of big-budget films but has found his most rewarding roles in independents. Born on February 24, 1964 in Pomona, CA, Field was raised in Portland, OR from the age of two when his father, then a truck driver, moved the family north after taking a job as a traveling salesman hocking welding supplies. Frustrated as a poet and sad to see the misery of his father, who left the boy home alone with his librarian mother, Field moved to New York when he was able to become an actor, determined not to duplicate his father’s Willy Loman-like lifestyle.
