JAN-MICHAEL VINCENT
Date of Birth: July 15, 1944
This Denver born, California raised actor was a leading man heartthrob throughout the 1970s as he typically played a character hard to rile but dangerous when angry, in high profile productions. His co-stars included John Wayne, Rock Hudson, Charles Bronson and Robert Mitchum, to name a few. Vincent was twice nominated for Golden Globe awards and won a Bronze Wrangler, along with the rest of the cast of Bite the Bullet (1975), including James Coburn, Candice Bergen and Gene Hackman.
In 1984 he landed the lead role in the action TV series Airwolf, which ran for three seasons. In 1996 he was involved in a catastrophic car accident from which he barely escaped with his life. His neck was broken and he suffered permanent damage to his vocal chords. Later, he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, but turned his life around when he moved to Mississippi, where he lives on a horse ranch.
