Matthew Salinger (born February 13, 1960 in Windsor, Vermont) is an American actor, the son of author J. D. Salinger and psychologist Claire Douglas. He graduated from Phillips Andover Academy and attended Princeton University before graduating from Columbia University with a degree in art history and drama.[1] The actor made his film debut in 1984’s Revenge of the Nerds, and may be best known for his starring role in the 1990 film Captain America, based on the Marvel Comics character. Salinger has since appeared in films like What Dreams May Come and episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and 24. He has also produced several independent films, including Let the Devil Wear Black and Mojave Moon. Salinger now works mostly on stage, as both actor and director. In 2000, he produced the Drama Desk Award-winning play The Syringa Tree Off-Broadway. In contrast to his sister, Margaret, who wrote a 1999 memoir about her childhood titled Dream Catcher, Matt is a devoted protector of his father’s privacy.[2] A few weeks
