[edit] Life and career
Hauser was born Gerald Dwight Hauser in Hollywood, California, the son of Geraldine (née Thienes) and Academy Award-winning director and producer Dwight Hauser (1911–1969).[1] His brother is actor Erich Hauser.
In 1975, Hauser released an album for RCA entitled, Your Love Keeps Me Off the Streets. For this LP he used the name Wings Livinryte. Fans can read an interview with Hauser and experience the album for the first time in its entirety via streaming at the online-cult film magazine website, mondo-video.com. Hauser first attracted notice in 1977 in the soap opera The Young and the Restless, as Greg Foster. He has appeared in 41 television series, including recurring roles in Beverly Hills 90210, Murder, She Wrote and Roseanne.
In 1983, he wrote and produced the Paramount box-office hit, Uncommon Valor. Hauser has also managed to sustain an eclectic movie career, highlighted by rather eccentric, intense character portrayals in movies such as Vice Squad, Deadly Force, No Safe Haven and Tough Guys Don't Dance. Hauser is set for the lead role in the French natural flick Rubber,[2] which is directed by French musician Quentin Dupieux.[3]
Hauser has a daughter, Bright Hauser, from his first marriage to Jane Boltinhouse. From his second marriage, to Cass Warner, he has a son, actor Cole Hauser. Wings Hauser is married to actress Cali Hauser. A cult film festival, "The Melbourne Underground Film Festival," held a Wings Hauser retrospective in 2009.
On February 18, 2011 The Mondo Film & Video Guide published an interview with Hauser. It would be his first interview in over a decade.
