Nicholas Haden-Guest (born May 5, 1955) is an American actor. Although he is primarily employed as a voice actor, his best known visual role is as the headmaster in the NBC teen sitcom, USA High.
Guest was born in New York, New York, the son of Jean Pauline Hindes, a former vice president of CBS, and Peter Haden-Guest, a British United Nations diplomat and member of the British House of Lords who later became 4th Baron Haden-Guest.[1] Nicholas Guest's maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Russia,[2][3] while a paternal great-grandfather was Colonel Albert Goldsmid, an English Jew who founded the Jewish Lads' and Girls' Brigade.[4] Guest spent parts of his childhood in his father's native England. Although both of his parents were born Jewish, they became atheists and Guest had no religious upbringing.[2] He is the brother of Christopher Guest and brother-in-law of Jamie Lee Curtis.
Guest is currently heir presumptive to the title of Baron Haden-Guest in the British peerage. Were he to succeed to the barony, he would be the 6th Baron Haden-Guest.
