His father worked as a small business owner who took on different ventures like a pool hall, dry cleaners, dairy outlet, and luncheonette.

Starring in a couple of school productions such as the Billion Dollar Saint and St. Francis of Assisi. Danny Devito is only five feet tall, but when he was younger he wished to be taller. As he puts it: “I was plagued; I couldn't slow-dance with the girls I wanted to because my face would be in a spot where I might be thought of as moving too fast.” His height made him a prime target for bullies as well, but he often had friends who would back him up. Even though he acted in high school and graduated in 1962. He did not consider acting as the right career path for him. He was not interested in going to college either. His sister was the one who mentioned he work as a hairdresser for the salon she owned. He worked for 18 months at the salon before he decided to go into cosmetics. He applied for makeup classes at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Applicants had to perform a monologue in order to get into the school's programs. He received positive feedback for his monologue, and decided to take up acting classes too. Devito graduated from the American Academy in 1966. He did not land a film role at first though. He was able to land a few parts in off Broadway parts at first. His big break came when he scored the role of Martini in the off Broadway production based off of Ken Kesey's classic novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

It's the greatest business in the world.”
