Trivia: By the time Dale Midkiff won an acting award in high school, he had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to do with his life. After attending Salisbury College, Midkiff headed to New York, where he landed a few off-Broadway jobs. He was fortunate enough to receive star billing in his very first film, Streetwalkin'. He went on to rack up a number of impressive credits, including the role of Elvis Presley in the made-for-TV biopic Elvis and Me. Dale Midkiff's most celebrated role was 22nd-century cop Darien Lambert in the weekly sci-fi crime series Time Trax (1993-95),an assignment that earned him the pinnacle of mid-1990s fame: his own site on the World Wide Web.

Irene Bedard (Actor) .. Miriam Red Hawk McClain

John Savage (Actor) .. Trent

Born: August 25, 1949

Trivia: While attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, John Savage helped organize a children's theatre troupe, giving non-profit performances at various housing projects. When next heard from, Savage had won a Drama Circle award for his starring performance in a Chicago-New York revival of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. In films and television from 1972, Savage reached a watershed in 1975, starring as cub reporter Jim Malloy in the TV series Gibbsville and both starring in and composing the music for the theatrical feature Sister-in-Law. His career continued to flourish as the 1970s drew to a close: he played paraplegic war veteran Steven in the Oscar-winning The Deer Hunter (1978), hippie convert Claude in Hair, guilt-ridden police officer Karl Hettinger in The Onion Field (1979) and the suicidal, physically challenged Roary in Inside Moves (1980). For reasons unknown, Savage's star began fading in the 1980s, despite such choice roles as a cynical photojournalist in Oliver Stone's Salvador (1986). Most of John Savage's footage as Andrew Hagen in 1990's The Godfather III unfortunately wound up on the cutting room floor.

Frank Mcrae (Actor)

Gil Birmingham (Actor)

Born: July 13, 1953
Birthplace: San Antonio, Texas, United States

Trivia: Drawing on his own off-camera ethnicity and cultural heritage, actor Gil Birmingham fell into a niche in Hollywood with numerous portrayals of Native Americans, in projects that occupied a broad spectrum of genres. A large-framed but not imposing figure who carried a distinguished presence, Birmingham landed his first major role in the 1987 horror opus House 2: The Second Story (as a warrior), then ushered in additional portrayals of Native Americans in efforts including the series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, and Body & Soul and the small screen miniseries Dreamkeeper (2003) and Into the West (2005). He moved into big screen features in the mid-2000s, initially by extending his Native American typecast into a portrayal of an Incan warrior from South America in the fact-based Christian missionary drama End of the Spear (2005), then joined Ben Stiller and Dick Van Dyke for the big-budget, special effects-heavy comedy Night at the Museum (2006), and signed for a supporting role in the vampiric romance Twilight (2008).

Jeff Kober (Actor)

Born: December 18, 1953

Trivia: Supporting actor, onscreen from the '80s.

William Morgan Sheppard (Actor) .. Scottie

Born: August 24, 1932

Trivia: Irish actor Morgan Sheppard has played character roles on television and in international feature films since the '80s, but he has spent most of his career on-stage.

James Tupper (Actor)

Born: August 04, 1965
Birthplace: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Trivia: Film and television actor James Tupper made his screen debut with a bit part in the David Spade comedy Joe Dirt before moving on to establish a successful television career with appearances on such hit shows as Gilmore Girls, CSI: NY, and How I Met Your Mother. Roles in the Michael Landon Jr. Westerns Love's Long Journey and Love's Abiding Joy followed soon thereafter, and in 2005 Tupper earned his first writing credit with work on Loudmouth Soup -- an improvisational comedy shot over the course of just one night and detailing the boozy antics of a bourgeois Hollywood dinner party. Despite his increasing onscreen presence, it wasn't his acting that eventually landed Tupper in the headlines, but the announcement that his Men in Trees co-star Anne Heche was leaving her husband, Coleman Laffoon, in favor of pursuing a romance with the rugged up and comer.
