Early in his career, he did guest shots on 1960s TV shows like <I>Naked City</I>, <I>Gunsmoke</I>, and <I>Twelve O'Clock High</I>. He played the 17-going-on-18-year-old Nazi in Broadway's <I>Sound of Music</I>, and married and divorced the actress who played Leisl.<p> With his pretty boy baby face, Voight was perfect as the hick-turned-gigolo in the X-rated <I>Midnight Cowboy</I> (1969), for which he was nominated for an Oscar. He also starred in <I>Catch 22</I> (1970), <I>Deliverance</I> (1972), <I>The Odessa File</I> (1978), and <I>The Champ</I> (1979). His most famous work is <I>Coming Home</I>, the 1978 Vietnam aftermath movie which won him his Oscar. Voight's best flick might be <I>Conrack</I>, <a href="/people/080/000044945/">Pat Conroy</a>'s true tale of teaching black children in South Carolina amid stark poverty and indifference.<P> Now mostly a charactor actor, Voight's celebrity has been eclipsed by that of his daughter, <a href="/people/493/000023424/">Angelina Jolie</a>. After a decade of estrangement, father and daughter reconciled in the late 2000s. Voight's brother James wrote the pop hits "Wild Thing" and "Angel of the Morning", under the pen name Chip Taylor.<p><p><b>Father:</b> Elmer Voight (professional golfer)<br><b>Mother:</b> Barbara Voight (housewife)<br><b>Brother:</b> James Wesley Voight ("Chip Taylor", composer, b. circa 1973)<br><b>Brother:</b> Barry Voight (volcanologist, Penn State University)<br><b>Wife:</b> Lauri Peters (actress, m. 1962, div. 1967)<br><b>Wife:</b> Marcheline Bertrand (m. 12-Dec-1971, div. 1978, d. 2007, one son, one daughter)<br><b>Son:</b> <a href="/people/520/000109193/">James Haven</a> (actor, b. 11-May-1973)<br><b>Daughter:</b> <a href="/people/493/000023424/">Angelina Jolie</a> (actor, b. 4-Jun-1975)<br><b>Girlfriend:</b> Stacey Pickren (actor, together 1976-1980s)<br><b>Girlfriend:</b> <a href="/people/613/000161130/">Eileen Davidson</a> (actor, together late 1980s)<br><p> High School: <a href="/edu/983/000079746/">Archbishop Stepinac High School, White Plains, NY (1956)</a><br> University: <a href="/edu/613/000082367/">BFA, Catholic University of America (1960)</a><br><p> <a href="/honors/511/000032415/">Oscar for Best Actor</a> 1979 for <i>Coming Home</i><br> <a href="/honors/636/000044504/">Golden Globe</a> 1970 Most Promising Newcomer, Male for <i>Midnight Cowboy</i><br> <a href="/honors/636/000044504/">Golden Globe</a> 1979 for <i>Coming Home</i><br> <a href="/honors/636/000044504/">Golden Globe</a> 1986 for <i>Runaway Train</i><br> <a href="/group/665/000365567/">Birthday: Elizabeth Taylor (1992)</a> <br> <a href="/event/450/000363358/">Visited Disneyland</a> Candlelight Procession (Dec-2009)<br> <a href="/lists/924/000082678/">Czech Ancestry</a> Paternal<br> <p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TELEVISION</font><br> <a href="/tv/853/000396662/">Ray Donovan</a> Mickey Donovan (2013-)<br> <a href="/tv/597/000349547/">Lone Star</a> Clint Thatcher (2010)<br> <a href="/tv/783/000049636/">24</a> Jonas Hodges (2009)<br><p> <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">FILMOGRAPHY AS ACTOR</font><br> <a href="/films/033/000402821/">Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (8-Nov-2016)</a> <br> <a href="/films/315/000397121/">Woodlawn (16-Oct-2015)</a> <br> <a href="/films/049/000383894/">Birth of the Living Dead (18-Oct-2013)</a> · Himself<br> <a href="/films/118/000370005/">Getaway (26-Aug-2013)</a> <br> <a href="/films/134/000357060/">Beyond (30-Jan-2012)</a> · Jon Koski<br> <a href="/films/867/000386706/">Pablo (30-Jan-2012)</a> · Himself<br> <a href="/films/099/000274274/">Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him?)
