Daniel Edward Aykroyd, born in Ottawa, initially pursued studies in psychology, criminal sociology, and political science at Carleton University, where his comedy journey took off. He co-wrote sketches for a private cable company, igniting his passion for acting. At 20, he joined The Second City comedy troupe in Chicago and Toronto, marking the start of his career. In 1975, Aykroyd joined "Saturday Night Live" as a founding member of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players," crafting iconic sketches like "The Blues Brothers" with Belushi and "Two Wild and Crazy Guys" with Steve Martin. The success of "The Blues Brothers" sketch led to a full-length feature in 1980, with Aykroyd writing and producing the movie soundtrack, defying the disco and punk era. His versatile talent shines in roles like Dr. Ray Stantz in "Ghostbusters," Jessica Tandy’s son in "Driving Miss Daisy," a single father in "My Girl," and an assassin in "Grosse Pointe Blank," showcasing both comedic and dramatic prowess. 댄 애크로이드(1952년생, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) 는 배우로, 대표작으로 고스트버스터즈, 고스트버스터즈: 오싹한 뉴욕, 첫 키스만 50번째가 있으며, 그 외에도 심슨 가족, 패밀리 가이, 지미 팰런의 투나잇 쇼, 레이트 나이트 위드 세스 마이어스, Saturday Night Live, The Nanny, 골든 글로브상, 아빠 뭐 하세요, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, According to Jim, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, 테일즈 프롬 더 크립트 등 다양한 작품에 출연했다. 특히 2026년에는 마틴 쇼트, 라이프 이즈 쇼트에도 참여해서 활동중이다.
