Borgnine was born on January 24, 1917, in Hamden, Connecticut.
At 18, undecided about his future career, he joined the Navy,
where he stayed for ten years until leaving in 1945. His career
took off in 1953 when he was cast in the role of Sgt. "Fatso"
Judson in From Here to Eternity (1953). He played against type
in 1955 by securing the lead role of Marty Piletti, a shy and
sensitive butcher, in Marty (1955). He won an Academy Award for
Best Actor for his performance, despite strong competition from
Spencer Tracy, Frank Sinatra, James Dean and James Cagney.
Between 1962 and 1966 he played LCDR Quinton McHale in the
popular TV series "McHale's Navy" (1962). In early 1984 he
returned to television as Dominic Santini in the action series "Airwolf"

 Lee Majors grew up
in Middlesboro, Kentucky and played on the varsity football
team. After graduation he attended Indiana University and
Eastern Kentucky University. It was while in college that Lee
discovered a love for acting and decided to make a career of it.
Lee’s first role as Heath Barkley, was a 1960’s western series
The Big Valley lasting four years.
Lee’s next role would be the defining character creation of his
career and the role he is most remembered, Steve Austin of The
Six Million Dollar Man.
Next came along his long-running series The Fall Guy. In this
role Lee played a movie stunt man and bounty hunter. |
 Encouraged by better-than average
success as a stage performer in such plays as Mister Roberts and
The Seven Year Itch, American actor Rance Howard decided to try
his luck in Hollywood. Talent however, meant less star appeal in
Tinseltown, thus Howard was confined to small roles which took
only minimal advantage of his abilities.
Rance Howard's face may not be as easily recognizable as the
faces of his son’s director-actor Ron Howard and actor Clint
Howard. Rance has been seen by TV and movie audiences dozens of
times, usually in guest star appearances (often westerns) and
more recently in virtually every film directed by son Ron. |

Francesco
Quinn was born into Hollywood as the son of the legendary
Anthony Quinn. It has been a blessing and a curse, perhaps, to
have such a famous father, but Francesco Quinn has maintained
his own image on the screen in both television and movies.
Francesco's first appearance on the screen was as Marcus
Vinicius in the dramatic series "Quo Vadis?" (1985) which
starred renowned European actor Klaus Maria Brandauer and
character actor Max von Sydow. This was Francesco's first
appearance on the screen, but the second appearance was easily
his most famous and most recognized. In 1986, a Vietnam war film
called Platoon (1986) directed by Oliver Stone starring Willem
Dafoe, Tom Berenger, and Charlie Sheen, became a smash hit and a
winner of Best Picture at the Oscars. Francesco had a large role
as Rhah, a raspy-voiced figure often in the shadows who takes
heroin from dead Vietnamese and attempts to help the new
recruits in their first big battle. |

done over 70 films and he wants to produce “good, uplifting
family films”. Kerry has won 2 Remi Awards for directing and
screenplays and plans of winning many more. |
 New
York born, strong featured, narrow eyed actor who has portrayed
a mixed bag of both good and bad guys! First turned up on screen
in several minor roles, and got himself noticed as the
villainous "Nero The Hero" in the low budget road race Death
Race 2000 (1975), and then as "Clem" the sadistic rigger,
breaking Jan-Michael Vincent's ribs in White Line Fever (1975).
He cropped up in the hit TV series "Cagney & Lacey" (1982) as
honest Police Detective Isbecki, and then got on the wrong side
of rampaging Sylvester Stallone in Rambo: First Blood Part II
(1985). Kove probably scored his greatest visibility to the
public in the hugely successful The Karate Kid (1984) in which
he played "John Kreese", the head instructor of the Cobra Kai
karate school, and he reprised the role in the two sequels, The
Karate Kid, Part II (1986) and The Karate Kid, Part III (1989). |
