# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born May 13, 1939, Harvey Keitel came up through New York's Actors Studio and broke through in Martin Scorsese's 1967 debut Who's That Knocking at My Door, launching a collaboration that would stretch across six films and fifty years, from Mean Streets to The Irishman. He became a fixture of the New Hollywood movement playing tough guys whose toughness concealed something harder to name. The early '90s brought wider recognition: an Oscar nomination for Bugsy's Mickey Cohen in 1991, a defining turn as Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs in 1992, then Bad Lieutenant and The Piano in back-to-back years, the latter winning him Australia's top acting prize. Pulp Fiction cemented his place in Tarantino's repertory; later he'd become a recurring face in Wes Anderson's ensemble worlds. From 1995 to 2017, he co-ran the Actors Studio alongside Al Pacino and Ellen Burstyn, holding the door open behind him.
