Kirk's son was born in New Jersey in 1944. He learnt about film while visiting his father on set, and studied drama at the University of California. He appeared in a number of films and on TV but first hit it big when he persuaded his dad to sell him the rights to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Douglas produced the Oscar-winning smash and went on to set up his own production company. On the acting front he has been a leading man for over 20 years, often playing distinctly dislikeable men in films which border on the reactionary.
