Characters

  • Business classes at the University of Kansa bored Bakula, who returned to St. Louis after a year to work in community theatre and then moved to New York to try his luck and soon was cast in 'Shenandoah.' His off-Broadway credits include 'Accentuate the Positive' and 'Three Guys Naked from the Waist Down,' and he debuted on Broadway as Joe DiMaggio in ' Marilyn: An American Fable.'

    Bakula moved to Los Angeles in 1986 to star on stage in 'Nite Club Confidential.' He won guest-starring roles in such television series as 'On Our Own' and 'My Sister Sam' and starred in the TV movies 'The Last Fling' and 'The Infiltrator' and in the Disney Sunday Night Movie 'I-Man.'

  • After graduating from high school at 16, Stockwell left Hollywood. 'I cut my hair off, changed my name and disappeared into the countryside. I took odd jobs for five year; then when I ran out of things to do, I went back into the business to try again.'

    Successful again, he starred in the film classics 'Compulsion,' 'Sons and Lovers' and 'Long Day's Journey Into Night' before quitting show business a second time. 'In the '60s, when we had hippies and Haight-Ashbury, I dropped out of my career and just went with that,' he says. 'I found it fulfilling because didn't have much of a childhood.'

    The next time back in Hollywood, there were occasional roles, but it wasn't until Stockwell married his wife Joy, started a family and moved to new Mexico, that he found himself in demand. 'I think I have my best work ahead of me,' he says, 'and now I can enjoy it.'
