Born in New York City, Wallace Shawn is a Jewish actor. His father is a journalist and his mother is a well-known and veteran editor of The New Yorker. Allen Shawn, his brother, pursued a career as a composer. Wallace received his education at Magdalen College at Oxford and Harvard University, where he majored in history. Wallace was a Fulbright scholar who first taught English in India before returning to New York to teach drama, Latin, and English. But he eventually had to quit his comfortable job to seek a career in theater as a playwright and actor due to his strong passion for writing and performing.With several television guest spots over the years, including "Taxi," "Homicide: Life on the Streets," "Ally McBeal," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "Sex and the City," "Desperate Housewives," "The Daily Show," "The 7D," "Life in Pieces," "The Good Fight," "Mr. Robot," and "Search Party," Shawn has moved fluidly through the years. In the process, he has also managed to land himself a few recurring roles, such as those on The Cosby Show, Murphy Brown, Clueless (a remake of the popular film Clueless, in which he reprises his role as a teacher), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Crossing Jordan, The L Word, Gossip Girl, The Good Wife, Mozart in the Jungle, and, most recently, Young Sheldon, where he played Dr. Sturgis..
