Lee Majors
(Actor)
.. Col Steve Austin
Born:
April 23, 1939
in
Michigan
Best Known For:
The Six Million Dollar Man.
Early-life:
Born Harvey Lee Yeary on April 23, 1939, in Michigan, USA. Both his parents had been killed in separate accidents by the time he was two. Lee moved to Kentucky after being adopted by his uncle and aunt, and at school became a star athlete in track, basketball, and American football. He then won an athletic scholarship to Indiana University, but a back injury sustained while playing American football prompted him to try acting. He made his stage debut in the play Seven Husbands with then-wife, Kathy.
Career:
Majors made a string of appearances in TV shows and films such as Will Penny, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and The Virginian. He spent four years in Western show The Big Valley, but it was The Six Million Dollar Man that made him a star in 1973. The series ran until 1978, and spawned spin-off The Bionic Woman, as well as a range of merchandise. Majors reprised the role of Steve Austin in 1987 for the first of three bionic-themed TV movies. He scored another small-screen hit in 1981 as crime-busting stuntman Colt Seavers in The Fall Guy and has since appeared in such movies as Scrooged and Big Fat Liar, and sitcom The Game.
Quote:
'I was never into my looks. What's important to me is my health and family.'

in
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Best Known For:
Action series MacGyver.
Early-life:
Born on January 23, 1950, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, Richard is the eldest of four sons. His father was a teacher, his mother an artist. He originally intended to become a professional ice hockey player, but two broken arms at 16 shattered his dream. He abandoned studying drama at university, and worked as a mime artist and juggler in San Francisco to make ends meet. He also fronted the short-lived band Rickie Dean and Dante.
Career:
In 1976, Anderson began a five-year stint in the daytime soap General Hospital. He also starred in a TV production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and guested on various series. In 1985 he landed the title role in adventure series MacGyver, which was a global hit. Various hit-and-miss TV series followed, before he was cast as a heroic pilot in the blockbuster miniseries Pandora's Clock. A year later he made his debut as Jack O'Neill in the series Stargate: SG-1, a spin-off from the hit 1994 film. He left that show in 2008 to spend more time with his daughter, and has since appeared in five episodes of the TV series Fairly Legal.
Quote:
'I'm less reactionary now than I was early on, because if people were rude and insensitive to any given situation, I would be rude and insensitive right back.'
Trivia:
He is a supporter of the Waterkeeper Alliance, an organisation trying to stop water pollution.
