Daniel Richter (born 1939 in Darien, Connecticut) is an American mime and actor. He is remembered as playing the leader of a tribe of ape-men in ''2001: A Space Odyssey''. At the time of his casting in ''2001'', Richter was unknown, working mainly as a street mime, leading a troupe in London. Kubrick made him largely responsible for choreographing the "Dawn of Man" sequence, believing Richter could take the film away from Hollywood clichés of men in monkey suits. Richter and his troupe spent hours watching apes in the London zoo, particularly the especially popular Guy the Gorilla, followed by hours of rehearsal mimicking their movements. Following ''2001'', Richter made an appearance in the film ''The Revolutionary''.〔(Dan Richter on Playing the Ape (New York magazine) )〕 In 2002, Richter published a book about his experiences entitled ''Moonwatcher's Memoir: A Diary of 2001: A Space Odyssey''.〔(Moonwatcher's Diary at Amazon.com )〕 Richter went on to work and live with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, directing the photography of their 1972 ''Imagine'' video at Tittenhurst Park. He has written a memoir of his experiences with Lennon and Ono, "The Dream is Over," which was released in 2012 by Quartet Books, London. He is very active in mountaineering, having climbed over 500 peaks in North America,〔http://www.danrichter.com/homepages/climb.htm〕 participating in and sometimes serving as an instructor in the Sierra Club. ==See also== *Guy the Gorilla 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Richter (actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
