Evan Handler, a renowned actor and soundtrack artist based in the United States, is expected to have a net worth of approximately $1.9 million by 2024. With a successful career spanning over several decades, Handler has garnered significant recognition and accomplishments in the entertainment industry. Known for his versatile acting skills and contributions to soundtracks, he has established himself as a prominent figure in the world of film and television. From notable roles in popular TV shows and movies to lending his musical talents to various soundtracks, Evan Handler's net worth reflects his remarkable success and talent.
After graduating from high school a year early, he moved to New York City and worked as an intern at the Chelsea Theater Center. During that time he appeared in the Off-Broadway plays Biography: A Game and Strider: The Story of a Horse. He then attended the Juilliard School as a member of the Drama Division's Group 12 (1979–1983), which also included Kevin Spacey, Ving Rhames, and Elizabeth McGovern. Handler left the four-year program after less than two years to accept a role in the 1981 film Taps.
In 1991, Handler famously walked off stage during the first act of a performance of the Broadway play I Hate Hamlet after co-star Nicol Williamson broke choreography during a sword-fighting scene and struck Handler on the backside. Handler responded later, stating, "I removed myself from the production because from the first day of rehearsals I have endured the show's producers condoning Nicol Williamson's persistent abusiveness to other cast members." Handler's understudy continued the performance, for which Gregory Peck and Elaine Stritch were in attendance.
He has also appeared in several major feature film roles, including Ransom, 1996; The Chosen, 1981; Sweet Lorraine, 1987; and Taps, 1981.
In 2000, Handler portrayed Larry Fine in the made-for-TV biopic The Three Stooges. He played Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein in the HBO movie, Too Big to Fail. The movie was based on the book of the same name written by Andrew Ross Sorkin. Handler has been most recently seen on Californication where he plays Charlie Runkle, the best friend and agent to David Duchovny's character, Hank Moody. In 2016 he has a recurring role in American Crime Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson as Alan Dershowitz, an appellate adviser for the defense in the O. J. Simpson murder case in 1995.
Evan married Elisa Atti, an Italian-born Chemist, in 2003, and they have a daughter, Sofia Clementina Handler (born January 17, 2007).
Handler is also an author. His first book, Time On Fire: My Comedy of Terrors, tells the story of his unlikely recovery from acute myeloid leukemia in his mid-20s. His second, It's Only Temporary...The Good News and the Bad News of Being Alive, tells the story of his long journey toward gratitude in the years after his illness. The book was released in May 2008. Handler has written for several nationally distributed magazines, including ELLE, O, the Oprah Magazine, and Mirabella. Handler contributes regularly to The Huffington Post.
