Mark Harmon |
| |
Burly athletic actor Mark Harmon was
born in September of 1951 to football star Tom Harmon and actress
Elyse Knox. He graduated cum laude from UCLA, 1974, with degree
in communications. Harmon played quarterback for UCLA Bruins
from 1972 to 1973 winning the National Football Foundation Award
for all-round excellence. He then worked as a carpenter before
entering into acting and made his first television appearance
in 1975 in an episode of Police Woman. During the 70s
he appeared in several made for-TV movies and miniseries such
as Centennial and Eleanor and Franklin: The White
House Years. His big screen debut was in the disaster sequel
Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. In the early
1980s he starred in a short-lived soap Flamingo Road,
but later found great success as a hunky Dr. Robert Caldwell
on St. Elsewhere until he left the show in 1986, being
the first character on network TV to contract the disease AIDS.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Harmon would star in both theatrical
film and TV projects like Wyatt Earp, Natural
Born Killers, Sweet Bird of Youth, Stealing
Home, and returning to another doctor role in Chicago
Hope. In 2003 he stared along Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay
Lohan in a hugely successful remake of Freak Friday.
He has been married to Mork and Mindy star Pam Dawber
since 1987, and is also ironically the uncle of actress Tracy
Nelson, and musicians Matthew Nelson and Gunnar Nelson. |

Martin Kove |
| |
Born in March of 1947 in Brooklyn New
York, Martin Kove began his early acting career with a struggle
to get noticed. He appeared unbilled in such films as Little
Murders and Last House on the Left. By
1984, Kove was pulling down third billing in such films as The
Karate Kid, wherein he played Kreese, the "bad" karate
expert who trained the film's heavy for his bout against Ralph
Macchio. Interesting enough, Kove replaced Chuck Norris, who
turned down the role of Kreese because he didn't want karate
trainers to be shown in an unsympathetic light. Martin Kove's
work on series TV has included the roles on Cagney and Lacey,
We've Got Each Other, and Hard Time on Planet Earth.
Kove has, however, guest starred in numerous shows such as Charlie's
Angels, The Incredible Hulk, Barnaby Jones,
Starsky and Hutch, Murder She Wrote, CHiPs,
Hercules, and Diagnosis Murder. |

Terry Kiser |
| |
 |
Terry Kiser was born in August of 1939
in Nebraska, but quickly relocated to Chicago when his family
picked up and moved. Kiser started out in television with a
stint as Dr. John Rice on The Doctors in the early late
1960s. He would continue to guest star in television and completed
character parts in movies over the next three decades. His film
work includes Friday the 13th Part VII, All
Night Long (what other Nancy Drew guest star appear
in this Barbra Streisand film?), Making Love,
and Mannequin 2: On the Move. His TV work has
included a recurring role as reporter Al Craven on the popular
sitcom Night Court, and as a member of Carol Burnett's
repertory players on 1990's Carol & Company. He has also
appeared in such series as Lois & Clark: The New Adventures
of Superman, Will & Grace, Caroline in the
City, Murder She Wrote, The Fall Guy, Hill
Street Blues and both The Bionic Woman and The
Six Million Dollar Man. Still probably Kiser's most memorably
role has been as the scene-stealing corpse in the two Weekend
at Bernie's comedies of the 1990s. |
