More Information

Did You Know..

Tom Selleck (Actor) .. Thomas Sullivan Magnum

Born: January 29, 1945
Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan, United States

Trivia: Leading man and sex symbol, Selleck has a gentle, humorous manner. He attended college on an athletic scholarship, majoring in business. A drama coach suggested he become an actor; soon he began making the rounds of auditions. He won a part in the disastrous film Myra Breckinridge (1970), his screen debut, then appeared in small roles in a handful of films during the '70s. Meanwhile, Selleck was signed to a seven-year contract with Fox, leading to a great many TV roles, including appearances as a recurring character on the TV series "The Rockford Files." Eventually he was chosen as the lead for the TV series "Magnum P.I.;" the show became a hit, staying on the air from 1980-88, and he became a star and sex symbol, winning an Emmy, a Golden Globe award, and a star on Hollywood Boulevard. He suffered a serious career setback in 1981, when he was chosen to star in the Lucas-Spielberg blockbuster Raiders of the Lost Ark, but couldn't get released from his TV responsibilities. Beginning in 1983 he tried to break back into films, finally landing a major hit in a co-starring role in Three Men and a Baby (1987); although he appeared in a dozen films after 1983 he never firmly established himself as a screen star. He has also been active as a TV producer. He is married to English dancer Jillie Mack.

John Hillerman (Actor) .. Jonathan Quayle Higgins III

Born: December 20, 1932
Birthplace: Denison, Texas

Trivia: Natty, mellifluous character actor John Hillerman may have spoken on screen with a pure Mayfair accent, but he hailed from Denison, Texas. Hillerman first gained notice for his fleeting appearances in the films of Peter Bogdanovich: The Last Picture Show (1971), What's Up Doc (1973), At Long Last Love (1975). He was also a semi-regular for director Mel Brooks, prominently cast in Blazing Saddles (1975) and History of the World, Part I (1981). A veteran of dozens of television series, John Hillerman was cast as the insufferable criminologist Simon Brimmer on Ellery Queen (1975), the star's director (and ex-husband) in The Betty White Show (1975), and most memorably as the ultra-correct Jonathan Quayle Higgins II, major domo to never-seen mystery writer Robin Masters, on Magnum PI (1980-88).

Peter Isacksen (Actor) .. Jerome "Killer Kapelwitz" Stenhauser

Born: January 01, 1954

Roger E. Mosley (Actor) .. Theodore `T.C.' Calvin

Larry Manetti (Actor) .. Orville `Rick' Wright

Born: July 23, 1947
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois

Dick Shawn (Actor) .. Buzz Benoit

Born: December 01, 1923
Died: April 17, 1987

Trivia: Like Sheckey Greene and Guy Marks, Dick Shawn was a nightclub comedian whose talents were highly prized by the members of his profession, but who took quite some time building up a fan following with "civilian" audiences. Beginning his film career with a peripheral role in 1956's The Opposite Sex, Shawn signed a contract with 20th Century Fox in 1960. He starred in an Arabian Nights satire, The Wizard of Baghdad (1960), which may have been too "inside" for fans of that genre. After co-starring with Ernie Kovacs in Wake Me When It's Over (1961), Shawn was generally seen in secondary, plot-motivating comic roles in such films as It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) and What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? (1966). He was hysterically funny in Mel Brooks' The Producers (1967), playing an erratic hippie actor named L.S.D. who was cast in the musical play "Springtime for Hitler" as a singing Fuehrer. Outside of The Producers, Shawn was seen to best advantage in his bizarre, stream-of-consciousness nightclub routines. So quirky and unpredictable were his live performances that, when Dick Shawn died of a heart attack while performing before a college crowd in San Diego, many members of the audience assumed his collapse was part of the act.

Debbie Zipp (Actor) .. Lola Stenhauser

Eddie Deezen (Actor) .. Mickey Dalrumple

Born: March 06, 1957

Trivia: From his first appearances in the mid-'70s onward, Eddie Deezen has enlivened many a film and TV show, playing a multitude of nerdish, anal-retentive pop-culture freaks. In I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978), his idolatry of the Beatles extended to his adopting the personality and mannerisms of Ringo Starr; and in WarGames (1983), he's the ultimate technogeek, spouting out computer-ese with such gleeful abandon that you'd think people were really interested in what he had to say. In later years, he has devoted much of his time to cartoon voice-overs and the cheapjack output of indie producer Fred Olen Ray. On television, Eddie Deezen played zany maintenance man Eddie Malvin during the 1984-1985 season of Punky Brewster.
