More Information

Did You Know..

Ken Wahl (Actor) .. Vinnie Terranova

Born: October 31, 1962

Trivia: Broad-shouldered American actor Ken Wahl has proven time and again that he's more than just a mass of muscle. After a handful of supporting roles, Wahl entered cult-film Valhalla with his starring role as a Bronx-Italian highschooler in The Wanderers (1979). Arguably, his best screen role was as the "see no evil" partner of conscience-stricken cop Paul Newman in Fort Apache, the Bronx (1981). His many film appearances aside, Wahl's popularity rests with his three-year performance as underground cop Vinnie Teranova in Wiseguys (1987-90), which was impressive enough to make viewers forget Wahl's earlier series-TV stint in the unlamented adventure series Double Dare (1985).

Ray Sharkey (Actor) .. Sonny Steelgrave

Born: November 14, 1952
Died: June 12, 1993

Trivia: Trained at HB Studio, rough-edged American actor Ray Sharkey quickly graduated to movies and television. Sharkey's first film was The Lords of Flatbush (1974), a street-gang drama that also featured early appearances by Henry Winkler and Sylvester Stallone. The actor's breakthrough film was 1980's The Idolmaker, in which he played rock 'n' roll entrepreneur Bob Marcucci; that same year, he was Phil in the low-budget but highly praised Willie and Phil. Sharkey's best known role was as Atlantic City gangster Sonny Steelgrave on the TV series "Wiseguy" (1987-90). Shortly after finishing work on the 1992 Burt Reynolds vehicle Cop and A Half, Sharkey made public the fact that he had contracted AIDS through indiscriminate drug use; he died less than one year later.

Dennis Lipscomb (Actor) .. Sid Royce

Born: March 01, 1942

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

Eric Christmas (Actor) .. Harry `The Hunchback' Schanstra

Born: March 19, 1916

Trivia: A distinguished Canadian stage, radio, film, and TV actor, Eric Christmas is probably best known to American audiences as Mr. Carter in the two Porky's films of the 1980s, or as Senator Polk in The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1980), or Roland the Butler in Warren Beatty's Bugsy (1992). Christmas also played Morten Kill in Steve McQueen's courageous adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People (1979). Eric Christmas' TV-series assignments in America have included the roles of Ben Hampton in The Sandy Duncan Show (1972) and Harry "The Hunchback" Schanstra in Wiseguys (1987-1988 season).
