Steve Guttenberg
Born: August 24, 1958 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA
[addressing the rumours of a Police Academy: Next Generation/Mahoney spin-off film] Definitely. It’s coming. People will look down at the idea, but they’re in the same business of making money too. The Police Academy (1984) films gave me so much opportunity, and I’ve got nothing but a good attitude towards them. I sure hope they do it. If the script’s right – I’m definitely in. You never know, I may direct.

Happy Birthday Steve Guttenberg
He was born in the Empire State
In the city that’s always awake
Many times he’s been seen
On the silvery screen
Very often portraying a flake
When in high school he landed a part
On Broadway, which got him his start
In an acting career
Spanning many a year
Where he’s always been stylish and smart
From New York he went west to L.A.
Where a jury acquitted O.J.
He played roles on TV
For a nominal fee
In a city of moral decay
Pretty soon there were offers galore
To make films both at home and offshore
And for shitloads of money
In films that were funny
And some that we chose to ignore
In Cocoon, as a fellow named Jack
Steve displayed his remarkable knack
And congenital wit
In a box office hit
Back when no one had heard of Iraq
In Three Men and a Baby he played
A young fellow in need of a maid
When he lived with two chums,
With no daughters or sons,
Who adopted a mom and her babe
But the role that defines his career
And can still both amuse and endear
Is a clown named Mahoney
Who’s full of baloney
And more than a tad cavalier
So let’s wish Happy Birthday to Steve
Who continues to live and to breathe,
Unlike Prince, Dennis Hopper,
Flip Wilson, Dan Blocker,
Chris Farley and Christopher Reeve
