Barack Obama wanted to be an architect, so did Brat Pitt. You got to read this article – And now let us praise hot architects. Hollywood can’t get enough of them.
“Architects once were portrayed as sophisticates and what has happened to them both in reality and on film is that they are now seen as just ordinary folk, kind of a hack or bumbler,” says one longtime San Francisco architect, who has observed that the field no longer attracts the best and the brightest because there are so many other avenues to be creative that are far more lucrative.

Richard Gere interpreted a successful architect in “Intersection” with Sharon Stone, a remake of the French film LES CHOSES DE LA VIE.

Hi,
two more: Kevin Kline in “House As A Life” and Ewan McGregor in “The Serpent’s Kiss”.
It’s a really nice post anyway, thanks.

Also –
Jeff Bridges as Max Klein – “Fearless” (1993)
Albert Finney as Mark Wallace – “Two For The Road” (1967)
Kirk Douglas as Larry Coe – “Strangers When We Meet” (1960)
Richard Gere as Vincent Eastman – “Intersection” (1994)
Helmut Bakaitis as The Architect – “The Matrix Reloaded” (2003) – I know it doesn’t fit the ‘celluloid architect’ type since he isn’t really an architect but still worth a mention.

Mat Dillon played a fake architect in that movie, he just pretended to be one!
Anyway this was an interesting post.

If i remember right, Ashton Kutcher was a Psychology student in “the butterfly effect”

…. and most recently Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom in (500) Days of Summer. Tom studied architecture but didn’t realize his dream of practicing til Summer (or Autumn.)

I seem to remember that Billy Crystal was an architect in “Sleepless in Seattle”? Or is old age just getting to me.

Don’t forget the iconic designer of “raised ranches” Mike Brady from the “Brady Bunch Movie”
Jim Bradberry
Wilbur Post in Mr. Ed. He had the drafting board right there in Mr. Ed’s stable! Would you hire an architect who talked to his horse?
Sam
Bob (David Duchovny) in “Return to Me”
Bella
and Keanu Reeves in The Lake House….

Inception (2010) – Ellen Page, and pretty much every one else in that movie was an architect
ex. Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt
Boojes
let’s not forget the latest additions Ellen Page and Lukas Haas as Ariadne and Nash, respectively as “Architects” from INCEPTION.

John Cassavetes in “Tempest” (1982) is a New York architect going through a mid-life crisis. He drops out, moves to a Greek island and starts building a Greek theater, along with the help of his teenage daughter (Molly Ringwald in her film debut). The movie is loosely based on the Shakespeare play so there are many subplots, but the portrait of an architect and the beautiful Greek scenery in this movie are part of why I became an architect.

Is the band Pink Floyd really composed of Architecture dropouts?

It would be interesting to see all this in order by date/year and see the society’s changing view of Architects.

How about that – Steve Martin has played an architect twice, more recently in “It’s Complicated” with Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep. I think Steve Martin played an architect very well in this movie.
