Diedrich Bader

The illustrious Diedrich Bader, born in Alexandria, Virginia, was destined for greatness from the very start. At the tender age of two, he moved with his family to the City of Light, Paris. There, he was exposed to the brilliance of movie legends, such as Fred Astaire and Charles Chaplin, which ultimately helped to shape his future. When a Chaplin movie reel burned in the theater's projector, Diedrich bravely hopped on stage and charmed the crowd with his own imitation of the Little Tramp, earning him a standing ovation. After high school, Diedrich enrolled at the North Carolina School of the Arts, where he caught the attention of a casting director in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was there that he auditioned for a small role in a TV pilot, but instead was given a starring role. Although the pilot was not picked up, Diedrich moved to Los Angeles and continued to audition for other roles, eventually landing himself a successful career in Hollywood.
