Wallace Shawn (born November 12, 1943) is an American actor and writer. He made his film debut playing Diane Keaton's ex-husband in Woody Allen's Manhattan in 1979, in which Allen's character, a short, balding, bespectacled ectomorph, dismisses the short, balding, bespectacled Shawn as "a homunculus."
