Bruce Malmuth has enjoyed a distinguished career in film, television
and theater as a writer, director and actor. Soon after achieving
success with his commercials (Excedrin Headache #1 and Fresca
Snowstorms campaigns, and other Clio winners) Mr. Malmuth made his film
directorial debut with
Sylvester Stallone in the classic
thriller
Nighthawks (1981), followed
by Mary Higgins Clark's best seller,
Where Are the Children? (1985)
with
Jill Clayburgh, and the popular
action film dealing with political corruption,
Hard to Kill (1990) with
Steven Seagal and
Pentathlon (1994) with
Dolph Lundgren, as well a number of other
feature films and documentaries, including the highly acclaimed
Baseballs or Switchblades? A Boy's Dream, featuring Darryl Strawberry,
for which he won an Emmy and Humanitas award for Public Service. Mr.
Malmuth has also appeared in many films as an actor, and was the ring
announcer in the popular
The Karate Kid (1984).
As a single parent who raised his son from the age of six and who went
through the tumultuous spectrum of single parenting in an era where the
use of drugs became a plague to the development of our youth, Mr.
Malmuth eventually joined forces with his own son, Evan, to bring to
the Los Angeles theater world his award-winning, original production of
"Thanksgiving Cries", chronicling the life in a juvenile detention
center, which also starred a yet unknown super talent Toby Maguire.
More recently, Bruce has turned his attention to the cause of troubled
youth through his Under One Roof Workshop at Hollywood's Hollygrove
Orphanage, as well as other juvenile facilities and venues such as the
Woodstock and Temecula Film Festivals, teaching young people how to
act, write, and direct-to channel their voices of anger and be heard
creatively as artists. Similarly, his unique style of painting has also
dramatically become a vivid tool and ally for depicting more
understanding and compassion for the young, at many public events and
fundraisers.
His passion for the cause of troubled youth was defined by his belief
that "it is easier to build a child than to repair a man."
