Early-life: Scott Stewart Bakula was born in St Louis, Missouri on October 9, 1954. The white streak in his hair appeared when he was four, although how remains a mystery.

In 1976 he decided to concentrate on acting when he was hired for a production of Shenandoah.

Career: Bakula continued to work on stage before gaining TV roles on shows such as Designing Women, Gung-Ho and I-Man. His big break came in 1989 with TV movie Quantum Leap: Genesis. A hugely popular series based on the adventures of time-travelling scientist Sam Beckett followed. Since then, he's continued to work on TV, including a three-year stint in sitcom Murphy Brown, and in films such as American Beauty, The Colour Of Night and Sibling Rivalry. Theatre work includes a Tony-nominated role in the musical Romance/Romance. His stint as Captain Jonathan Archer in Enterprise, the prequel to the original Star Trek series, lasted for four seasons until it was axed in 2005. More recently, he has had a recurring role in Chuck, and starred in American comedy drama Men of a Certain Age, Behind the Candelabra, Looking and NCIS: New Orleans.
