Andy Kaufman
Andrew Geoffrey Kaufman (January 17, 1949 – May 16, 1984) was an American entertainer, actor and performance artist. While often referred to as a comedian, Kaufman did not self-identify as one. He disdained telling jokes and engaging in comedy as it was traditionally understood. He referred to himself as a "song and dance man".
Kaufman was born in New York City on January 17, 1949, the first son of Janice Bernstein and Stanley Kaufman, who were both Jewish. He grew up in Great Neck, Long Island, New York, and began performing at the age of 9.
