Lawrence Jay Duplass (born March 7, 1973)[1] is an American film director and actor. He is best known for his films The Puffy Chair, Cyrus, and Jeff, Who Lives at Home. All of these films have been in collaboration with his younger brother, Mark Duplass.
Early life
Duplass was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of Cynthia (née Ernst) and Lawrence Duplass.[2][3][4] He was raised in a Catholic family,[5][6] and attended Jesuit High School. Duplass graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a MFA in film.[7] Duplass is of part Cajun ancestry.[8]
Career
Duplass attributes much of his and his brother's love for film to his appreciation for Raising Arizona. In an interview with Robert K. Elder for The Film That Changed My Life,[9] Duplass speculates on what might have happened had he not seen the film in his youth.
I probably wouldn't be making movies—seriously. It held over for so long. It really was the root of everything that Mark and I always hold ourselves to in making movies. That is to say that Raising Arizona is the most inspired movie that I have ever seen.[9]
