Lorne Greene was born Lyon Himan "Chaim" Green on February 12, 1915, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He began acting while attending Canada's Queen's University, and after graduation got a job in radio broadcasting. His rich, deep, authoritarian voice quickly propelled him to prominence as Canada's top newscaster. He left Canada in the early 1950s for a film career in Hollywood, and soon began appearing regularly in television, films and on radio. His greatest successes came in two television series, the long-running Western Bonanza (1959), in which he played the patriarch of a wealthy frontier family, and the science-fiction series Battlestar Galactica (1978). In 1969 he was awarded Officer of the Order of Canada for his services to the performing arts and community.

Hugh Hooker was born on September 8, 1919 in Texas, USA as Hugh Milford Hooker. He is known for his work as a stuntman on Scarface (1983), Vacation (1983), and Mannequin (1987). He worked as a stuntman in many B-westerns throughout his forty plus years as a stuntman. Between 1944 and 1955 he had minor charter actor roles in twenty westerns. Hooker appeared in only one TV series with three small roles in The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin (1954) episodes. His two sons were also stuntmen from a young age. Buddy Joe Hooker began at the age of fourteen (Rin Tin Tin) and and Billy Hank Hooker began at the age of nine.
As a theatrical agent Hooker made national news in 1956 when he filed a $750,000 suit against the Rin Tin Tin series producer, Herbert B. Leonard; Rin Tin Tin IV owner, Lee Duncan; Screen Gems; the American Broadcasting Company; and Rin Tin Tin sponsor, National Biscuit Company. Hooker alleged that Duncan told him they had abandoned the Rin Tin Tin project, freezing him out as a producer. The 164 Rin Tin Tin episodes produced profits of $1,500,000. As a movie producer, Hooker's film, The Littlest Hobo (1958), featured London, a German Shepherd, and Fleecie, a lamb. He died on September 11, 1987 in Westlake Village, California, USA.- Director
