Jonathan Niven "Jon" Cryer (born April 16, 1965) is an American actor, screenwriter, film director, and film producer. Born into a show business family, Cryer made his motion picture debut as a teenaged photographer in the 1984 romantic comedy ''No Small Affair''; his breakout role came in 1986, playing "Duckie" Dale in the John Hughes-written film ''Pretty in Pink''. In 1998, he wrote and produced the independent film ''Went to Coney Island on a Mission from God... Be Back by Five''. Although Cryer gained fame with his early film roles, it took several years to find success on television; none of his star vehicles, including ''The Famous Teddy Z'', ''Partners'', and ''The Trouble with Normal'', lasted more than 22 episodes. In 2003, Cryer was cast as Alan Harper on the CBS sitcom ''Two and a Half Men'', for which he won two Primetime Emmy Awards in 2009 and 2012. Cryer received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Television in 2011. Cryer's other film appearances include ''Tortured'' (2008), ''Shorts'' (2009), and ''Hit by Lightning'' (2014). He also has a recurring role in the CBS drama series, ''NCIS'', playing Dr. Cyril Taft. ==Early life== Cryer was born in New York City, New York. His mother, Gretchen (née Kiger), is a playwright, songwriter, actress, and singer; his father, Donald David Cryer, is an actor and singer who originally studied to be a minister.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Jon Cryer Biography (1965–) )〕 Cryer's paternal grandfather, Rev.
