- Harris_Goldberg abstract "Harris Goldberg (born November 17, 1972 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian-born director, writer, and producer. He co-wrote the 1999 film Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo with Rob Schneider and the 2002 film The Master of Disguise with Dana Carvey.In 2007, Goldberg wrote and directed the film Numb inspired by his own experience battling depersonalization disorder and clinical depression.Harris Goldberg studied for a Bachelor of Arts from McMaster University, majoring in English. While at McMaster, Goldberg started making films, writing, hosting and performing radio shows, doing stand-up comedy at clubs around Toronto, and playing with his rock band, Oliver Twist, a Clash-like foursome known for their on-stage personal tension that resulted in Goldberg smashing his entire drum kit and breaking his arm during one memorable New Year's Eve gig at the reputedly mob-owned Jockey Club.Goldberg's first passion was for tennis. He reached a Canadian junior tennis ranking of number two nationwide. After taking a year off to pursue the Satellite tennis circuit, he came to the conclusion that tennis would not be his life's work. Goldberg was frequently quoted as saying that "he had strokes, but not the head."[citation needed]Goldberg returned to writing. (His older brother, Daniel Goldberg, had attained success in writing and producing films including Stripes and Meatballs, both starring Bill Murray). Goldberg moved to Los Angeles where he sold his first screenplay within a week. He signed with the William Morris Agency, and soon secured his first job writing for Matty Simmons, owner of National Lampoon and producer of Animal House.A multi-picture deal at Disney followed, including I'll be Home for Christmas starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jessica Biel, a sequel to The Mighty Ducks and the award winning Hallmark film, A Step Toward Tomorrow, a poignant story about two young brothers, one bound to a wheelchair after an accident. Premiering to rave reviews on CBS Sweeps Week in the winter of 1996, the film was also noted for a touching and memorable performance by Christopher Reeve, his first acting role after his tragic horseback riding accident.[citation needed]In 2003, Goldberg directed the short film, Where's Angelo?, a Get Shorty style picture which starred Robert Forster, Michael Madsen, Beverly D'Angelo, and Wolfgang Bodison and was honored at the Hollywood Film Festival.Goldberg became friends with SNL alum Rob Schneider, and together they gave a series of stand-up comedy performances including co-hosting the Montreal Comedy Festival and a memorable appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien when the duo performed as the satirical Blue Man Ass Group. Goldberg subsequently accompanied Schneider to Chicago where Schneider was to be master of ceremonies at a fund-raiser for President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. An hour before the event, Goldberg was asked to fill in by Clinton himself, after the Secret Service expressed concerns that Schneider's public image -- he was then starring in Men Behaving Badly -- might reflect unfavorably on the President. Goldberg later described the experience as the most surreal of his life.[citation needed]Goldberg went on to write and co-produce Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo under Adam Sandler's Happy Madison shingle. Touchstone acquired the project after a bidding war with New Line. Modestly budgeted at $16.5 million, the film was a box office success, grossing $68 million domestically and over $100 million internationally.[citation needed]Goldberg next partnered with Dana Carvey, writing and co-producing The Master of Disguise for Sony Pictures, which grossed a profitable $40 million domestically. Without a Paddle followed, which starred Seth Green, Matthew Lillard, Dax Sheppard and Burt Reynolds, and grossed $58 million for Paramount Pictures.[citation needed]Goldberg crossed over to television writing during this period, selling pilots to HBO, CBS, NBC, ABC, TNT and USA. It was during this time that Goldberg began suffering from Depersonalization Disorder, an anxiety and stress reaction he calls the most hideous and frightening time of his life. He would go onto say he didn't know if he would make it from one day to the next.[citation needed] After his recovery, Goldberg wrote the screenplay Numb about the experience.Actor Matthew Perry attached himself to the project and soon afterward Goldberg landed his feature film directorial debut with a cast that included Mary Steenburgen, Kevin Pollak, and Lynn Collins. The film won many festival awards including Best Feature at Chicago's GenArt Film Festival and the Ojai International Film Festival. Goldberg has stated that the film was not only cathartic personally but also proved helpful to many sufferers, and drew attention to the disorder from the medical community as well.[citation needed]In May 2013, Goldberg started his second directorial effort on "The List" which is now in post-production. Shooting was completed in Los Angeles, and Patrick Fugit stars with Jennifer Morrison, Karen Gillan, Aaron Staton, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Giles Martini, Jobeth Williams and Victoria Tennant.".
