早年经历

有一次,他在班上刚想恶作剧,玛丽·内格尔老师就对他说:“好好看看我,这屋里只有我才配当喜剧演员。你要当喜剧演员还得受教育、懂人事,到那时你也许有可能吃这碗饭。”而后玛丽老师就对大家说“我要在黑板上写一个词赠给你们。”她在科斯比瞠目结舌的注视下,拿起粉笔写下“苦干”两字,并说“这就是我们在这儿要做的事。”

从那时起,比尔·科斯比就埋头苦干起来。他天分极高,性格坚强,又勤奋,成绩很快就赶上来了。可是上中学以后,科斯比发现自己对学业的兴趣一度减退。于是他投笔从戎,在美国海军服役四年,并且通过一项综合考试,取得了相当于中学毕业的文凭。

从海军复员后,他返回费城,得到一项体育奖学金后进入坦普尔大学,主修体育。同时他也代表学校参加橄榄球、篮球和田径比赛。科斯比在三年级时离开坦普尔大学,投身喜剧演员的事业。

经历让他开始懂得了玛丽老师那句“当喜剧演员还得受教育、懂人事”,于是又重返学府,在马萨诸塞大学苦读四年;1976年获得了教育学博士学位。

科斯比成功后,他并没有忘记影响他的人。上世纪80年代的时候,他提名玛丽女士为全国“年度教师奖”候选人。科斯比说:“她所做的一切简直令人难以置信。她教书育人,扶正抑邪,一点一滴向我们灌输自尊自爱的思想,使我们牢牢铭记在心,出了学校也忘不了。她不准我在她班上滥竽充数,我不得不刻苦用功。”

演艺经历

他在荧屏上的第一次重大尝试是演出《间谍生涯》。这是一部介乎喜剧与正剧的电视连续剧,描写两名间谍的活动。科斯比是最先因剧情需要,而不计肤色入选荧屏角色的黑人演员之一。他曾三次荣膺美国电视表演艺术界最高奖项艾美奖。

《科斯比探案》讲述的是美国纽约警察局退休犯罪学家盖伊·汉克斯,破获各种离奇命案的来龙去脉故事。在美国,《科斯比探案》是最成功的侦探类电视剧之一,其收视率一直居高不下。比尔·科斯比集演员、制片人及作家于一身,但他最让他声名赫赫的还是喜剧演员。他的演艺事业一度红火,是因为他表达幽默的方式充满智慧。

2004年科斯比编剧的影片《胖子阿伯特》正式上映,改编自美国上世纪70年代风靡一时的热门卡通剧集《肥仔阿伯特和科斯比的孩子们》。其实这么多年以来,好莱坞许多电影公司都想和科斯比合作拍摄阿伯特的电影,但是科斯比对他笔下的卡通人物保护有加,他一直在等待最佳的时机,找到一个最好的切入点将这部卡通剧集搬上大荧幕。

直到制片人约翰·戴维斯和二十世纪福克斯公司找到了他,科斯比才确定是时候将阿伯特的故事呈现给电影观众。该影片制片人戴维斯说:“科斯比就是阿伯特。他有着崇高的灵魂和宽大的心,他就是阿伯特的最好代言人。”

科斯比的创作触及到人们的生活,他的幽默渗透在生活的种种基本要素之中科斯比的喜剧没有层出不穷的花招和低俗的幽默,他的创作有一个出发点,那就是他的喜剧是让人们在欢笑中产生思考。科斯比以独特的喜剧感闯出一片天,不流俗、媚俗,启迪了许多后辈黑人演员和导演,使娱乐界呈现多元化色彩,让人们在欢笑中思考。

年过古稀的科斯比确实是个不可思议的人物,他出身贫寒,如今却拥有巨额财富。作为一个喜剧演员,本可以信口开河地杜撰,他却偏偏要从日常平凡的生活中发掘素材,他是黑人,以雅俗共赏的幽默赢得了大量白人观众。美国的娱乐界竞争激烈,作为黑人的比尔·科斯比能有这么大的影响,确实经历了长期的艰苦奋斗,克服了每个想出人头地的青年都会遇到的重重障碍。

人物事件

比尔-科斯比长年陷入性侵女性疑云,包括芭芭拉鲍曼(BarbaraBowman)、昔日超模珍妮丝-狄金森(JaniceDickinson)等人,至2015年12月已超过50名女性公开指控比尔的不堪行径,但多数案件早已过法律追溯期,形成罗生门。法官裁定唯一能进入审判的案例,是当年任职谭普大学的安德芮康斯坦(AndreaConstand)指控他下药性侵,他却坚称当时是拿了助眠药“安眠酮”给对方吃,彼此是在两情相悦的状态下发生关系。 

2015年12月30日,比尔·科斯比在宾西法尼亚州地方法院出庭。虽然此前有四十多位女性声称曾遭他性侵,这却是他首次被起诉。 

主审法官欧尼尔(StevenO‘Neill)表示,比尔-科斯比曾数度尝试阻挠该件案件的受审,但是因检察官在2015年7月找到全新的证据,因此该案件将重新开审,而受审日期暂定在2017年6月5日,据悉,届时可能将有13名受害者将出庭作证。他还说,根据被告律师声称,比尔-科斯比已经失明,因此法庭中可能会需要特别助理。 

2018年4月26日,现年80岁的美国喜剧演员比尔·科斯比因三项加重猥亵侵犯的罪名被判有罪,他面临长达30年的监禁 。

2018年9月25日,比尔·科斯比因14年前在家中下药和性侵一名女性罪名成立,在宾夕法尼亚州一所地方法院被判3年至10年监禁。他是美国“我也是”反性骚扰运动兴起后第一个被定罪和判刑的名人。 

人物评价

比尔·科斯比温馨的喜剧,描述了日常生活中的幽默之处,使他跻身有史以来最成功和最流行的娱乐演员行列。他主演并制作电视节目 、主演电影、出喜剧唱片,还写了几本书。他写的书包括:《你非同寻常》(YouAreSomeoneSpecial)(1978年);《父爱》(Fatherhood)(1986年);《时光飞逝》(TimeFlies)(1987年);《恭喜!然后呢?——给毕业生的一本书》(Congratulations!NowWhat?:ABookforGraduates)(1999年);《那一天我看到父亲哭了》(TheDayISawMyFatherCry)(2000年)。
