Correct birth year

I just corrected the birth year, which should be 1957. The IMDb has this wrong, incidentally. --Jeremy Butler 17:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb gets a lot of things wrong. You can never fully trust their information. Gingermint (talk) 04:52, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Material: Copyright Violation

All of the material (below) was taken verbatim from http://www.allmovieportal.com/m/2007_License_to_Wed_about_the_filmmakers.html . Thus, it is a copyright violation and has been deleted. There is, however, good information here that might be reworded, edited for "neutral point-of-view" and included in this article.

Ken Kwapis is an award-winning director who has moved easily between the worlds of feature filmmaking and television directing. He previously directed “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” a film adaptation of Ann Brashares’ best-selling novel, starring Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, Blake Lively and Alexis Bledel. Kwapis recently signed to direct the film adaptation of another best seller, He’s Just Not That Into You. For television, Kwapis helped launch some of the most innovative comedies of the past decade. He directed the pilot of NBC’s Emmy Award-winning series “The Office,” starring Steve Carell, John Krasinski and Rainn Wilson, and directed this season’s premiere and final episodes. Kwapis earned an Emmy nomination for his work as a producer-director of FOX’s “Malcolm in the Middle.” He also directed the pilots for the groundbreaking HBO series “The Larry Sanders Show,” and the Emmy Award-winning “The Bernie Mac Show.” He also directed episodes of such critically acclaimed comedies as “Freaks and Geeks” and “Bakersfield P.D.” Kwapis’ feature film credits include the romantic comedies “The Beautician and the Beast,” starring Fran Drescher, and “He Said, She Said,” starring Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth Perkins. “He Said, She Said,” was conceived and co-directed with Kwapis’ wife Marisa Silver. His other films include “Dunston Checks In,” starring Jason Alexander and Faye Dunaway, “Vibes,” starring Jeff Goldblum and Cyndi Lauper, and “Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird,” starring Jim Henson’s Muppets. Kwapis’ film “Sexual Life” marked his first effort as a writer-director. Adapted from Arthur Schnitzler’s play “La Ronde,” “Sexual Life” premiered to rave reviews at the Los Angeles Film Festival and aired on Showtime in 2005. The ensemble cast includes Anne Heche, Elizabeth Banks and Kerry Washington. Kwapis studied filmmaking at Northwestern University and the University of Southern California. He won the Student Academy Award in Dramatic Achievement for his USC thesis film “For Heaven’s Sake,” an adaptation of Mozart’s one-act comic opera Der Schauspieldirektor (“The Impresario”).

Some Fixes

I fixed some things in this article so it would be slightly less embarrassing. That said, the article is way too long and someone who has more steady hands than I must do a lot of cutting. Gingermint (talk) 04:50, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
