Who Is Ted Demme?
Ted Demme was born in New York City, U.S. in 1963. Credited on films since 1993, as a director. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.
Edward Kern Demme, better known as Ted Demme, was a widely acclaimed American director, producer, and actor. Born on October 26, 1963, in New York City, Demme embarked on a stunning professional journey that spanned across remarkable projects in the media and entertainment industry. His career first took off at MTV where he started as a production assistant and gradually proved his mettle by creating Yo! MTV Raps and directing diverse projects. His talent for recognizing talent became evident when he launched the then-unknown chain-smoking comedian Denis Leary with his black-and-white on-air rants. Over his career, he established a group of actors he frequently collaborated with, with Leary often in the front line.
Demme's directorial finesse shone through in Leary's stand-up specials No Cure for Cancer and Lock n' Load, and the films Who's the Man?, The Ref, and Monument Ave. His proud moment arrived when the 2001 crime drama film Blow, starring Johnny Depp and produced by Leary, received immense appreciation. Demme was also known for his personal life. He was married to Amanda Scheer, with whom he had two children. Scheer named the popular LA bar, Teddy's, after Demme in his honor. Demme sadly passed away following a heart attack at a celebrity basketball game on January 14, 2002.
