Education background

He reportedly went to four high schools in four years in Albany, but there is no information about which one he matriculated from. Devane graduated in 1962 from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA) in Manhattan, New York City.

Career

First steps

After high school, Devane went to New York and worked as a carpenter and electrician for Joseph Papp, who was a theatre director, producer, and founder of the New York Shakespeare Festival (NYSF), now known as Shakespeare in the Park. He begged Papp until he put him on the stage; he would watch George C. Scott’s performance and learned from him. William was in Papp Production’s Shakespearean plays in the public school circuit, and in 15 plays at NYSF. It was said that his first role was that of a porter in “Macbeth”, and he had his first speaking part in “The Merchant of Venice.”

In 1967, he played the role of the Robert Kennedy, or Robert Ken O’Dunk in the Off-Broadway play, “MacBird.” This was a satire sketch by Barbara Garson, and together with director/writer Roy Levine, made it into a full-length play that incorporated the 35th President John F. Kennedy’s assassination into the story of William Shakespeare’s tragedies, namely “Macbeth,” “Richard III,” and “Hamlet.” It premiered on 22 February 1967 just four years after Kennedy’s assassination, at The Village Gate theatre, believed to be the only one willing to stage the play. The highly successful but controversial play closed after 386 performances on 21 January 1968.

He made his debut as a movie actor in 1967 with “In the Country,” which was written and directed by Robert Kramer.

His debut on television was in an episode of ABC’s crime drama series “N.Y.P.D.” which featured stories based on actual cases of the New York City Police Department, and he appeared in two more episodes between 1967 and 1969. Devane made his Broadway debut in 1969 in Lyle Kessler’s “The Watering Place,” but it was unsuccessful and had to close after just one performance.

It was after “MacBird” and while he was doing plays at the Shakespeare Festival when the actor Warren Beatty and director/screenwriter Robert Altman came and cast him for the role of the lawyer, Clement Samuels, in the revisionist western or anti-western movie, “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” (1971). The film was critically praised and was deemed ‘culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant’, so it was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry.

In 1976 Devane was cast for the role of the missing heir turned kidnapper in the last movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock, the comedy thriller, “Family Plot.” This movie that also starred Bruce Dern, Barbara Harris and Karen Black grossed $13.2 million against a $4.5 million budget.

Tuchman’s “The Guns of August” (1962) book about the events leading to World War I to the Cuban Missile Crisis, between US and the Soviet Union with Cuba at the center of it, which came close to starting a global nuclear war, and how they averted it. Devane was praised for his portrayal of the president in this two-and-a-half hour production.

William landed the role of John Henry Faulk in the TV movie “Fear on Trial,” in 1975, based on the book of the same title that Faulk wrote in 1963. It was about his experience of being blacklisted in the 1950s on radio, because he was falsely accused as a Communist by the organization, AWARE, Inc; he filed a lawsuit against them and won.

His role as the male antagonist was supposed to be only for eight to ten episodes, but his character was well received and loved by the viewers, and he survived until the end. The soap opera had 14 seasons (1979-1993) with 344 episodes, and Devane was in 10 seasons with 269 episodes. The ratings of the series peaked in the fifth season around the time when he became part of the soap. The four-hour long miniseries, “Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac,” was released in two parts in May 1997, retaining most of its cast members including Devane, with the story starting four years after the soap opera ended.

He was also part of the reunion special, “Knots Landing Reunion: Together Again” in 2005, which had most of the original cast reminiscing about working on the show, and also featuring bloopers and out-takes from the series.

“24”

William was cast to play the role of US Secretary of Defense James Heller in this real-time action drama, “24,” which starred Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, an agent from the Counter-Terrorist Unit. The series premiered on 6 November 2001 and ran for eight seasons with 192 episodes, the last aired on 24 May 2010. It won the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Series in 2004, and the Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Devane joined the series in season four, and was in 20 episodes (2005-2007). The TV series returned in 2014 as “24: Live another Day” which started four years after the events of the last episode of previous series. William now played President James Heller, and was in all 12 episodes of the series.

He portrayed a variety of characters in nearly 70 television series, specials and TV movies from 1967 to 2015.

Personal life

William and Eugenie had known each other for a year before deciding to marry in 1961 – they had two sons, but lost their eldest, Bill, in a car accident. Joshua, the youngest, is also an actor.

The couple has been together for 59 years, having lived for over 30 years on their ranch in Thermal in the Coachella Valley, near Palm Springs, California. It is a facility for polo players and trainers, and where polo matches are played and horses bred. According to Devane, the ranch is 140 acres, but they live on just five acres, not as the landlord but the developer. They have around 300 horses and 15 ranches all devoted to polo. They also have a homeowner’s association.

Interesting facts and rumors

  • William often changed his dialogue in his scenes in “Knots Landing,” and it was allowed by the creator and co-executive producer, David Jacobs, who was very supportive of his actors and would tell the writers to trust the actors’ instincts. However, this created conflict with the writers of the show. One time, the script that was handed to him had a note on top that said, ‘Not one word of this can be changed on the floor.’ According to him, he only changed the script to a point in order to give more depth to the character and scene, but he didn’t change the story. He actualy wrote a few episodes of the series.
  • He did not watch any episode of “Knots Landing” before he joined the soap. When he was asked in an interview if he’s a TV watcher, he said that he tries to watch only real things and added, ‘I like to watch real people in real situations because I learn from that.’
  • He has been a member of PGA West for about 30 years, and has often played golf for charities.
  • It was said in a New York Times article published in 1975 that William changed his name from Devaney to Devane.

Dawn is a former actress who was active between 1967 and 1978, while she is perhaps still best known for her portrayal of Dodie Douglas in the final three seasons of the family comedy series “My Three Sons”, which starred Fred MacMurray, Stanley Livingston and Don Grady, and which is about a widower who is raising his three sons together with his father-in-law and the children’s uncle.

Dawn attended a local elementary school, and spent all of her spare time practicing acting and appearing in movies and TV series.

Around the time when she was eight, a man who escaped from jail claimed he was Dawn’s father and that he would kidnap her and leave the country, which is why Dawn’s mother got her a German Shepherd dog called Thor to look after her – the convict was eventually caught by the police. Dawn enrolled at a local high school in 1977, and during her second year there stopped acting to rather focus on leading a ‘normal life’. She started playing a variety of sports, and upon matriculation in 1981 didn’t enroll at a college but found a job.

Roles in movies

Dawn made her debut film appearance in 1970 at the age of seven, when she portrayed the Indian Child (uncredited appearance) in the western film “Cry Blood, Apache” which starred Jody McCrea and Marie Gahva, and which is about a group of sadistic cowboys who are searching for gold, however, the movie received rather poor reviews. In the same year, she portrayed Stephanie at five in the comedy movie “I Love My Wife”, which starred Elliott Gould and Brenda Vaccaro, and which follows a successful married surgeon who starts sleeping with several women; the film won Angel Tompkins a nomination for a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer – Female.

Dawn played Decky Ortega in the western film “Shoot Out” in 1971, about a bank robber travelling with a six-year old girl, and the year 1973 saw her portray Dwana in the biographical action crime film “Walking Tall”, which starred Joe Don Baker and Elizabeth Hartman and which was a critical success, while she also played Flossie Randall in the 30-minute long comedy film “Daddy’s Girl” directed by Alan Rafkin and written by Dick Chevillat and Jay Sommers. In 1974, Dawn appeared in three films: the short comedy “The Fess Parker Show”, the horror “Devil Times Five”, and the drama “Aloha Means Goodbye”, before she was invited to repeise Dwana Pusser in the biographical action crime film “Walking Tall Part II”, also starring Bo Svenson, Luke Askew and John Davis Chandel, and which is about a man who is fighting a crime syndicate after the death of his wife in late ‘60s Tennessee.

Dawn’s last role in a movie before she retired from acting was again playing Dwana in the action crime drama “Final Chapter: Walking Tall” in 1977, which follows the last days of life and the death of Buford Pusser. Even though retired from acting, Dawn accepted when she was invited to appear in the documentary series “TV Land Confidential” in 2005, and “Biography” in 2008, while she also appeared in two documentary movies “The Actor’s Journey” and “The Actor’s Journey for Kids” in 2011.

Roles in TV series

Dawn made her debut TV series appearance in 1971, as Kathy in the episode “The People vs. Lindsey” of the crime drama series “The D.A.” which ended after airing its first season, but in the same year she portrayed Amy Swanson in the episode “Death Is a Double-Cross” of the action crime drama series “Cannon”.

Sean Edward Hartman’s Wiki: Phil Hartman’s Son & Family

Published

on

Introduction

Sean Edward Harman is an actor and artist. He is also the son of the deceased Phil Hartman and Brynn Hartman, actually best known as a result of the tragic death of his parents, whereby his mother Brynn Hartman committed suicide shortly after murdering her husband. Sean was only nine at the time of this occurring, which therefore shaped his life.

Early Life

Sean Edward Hartman was born on the 17th June 1989 (age currently 31) in Sunset, Vancouver, British Colombia in Canada.

His zodiac sign is Gemini, and he now has joint American-Canadian nationality. He was raised in Los Angeles, California as it was close to the television production his father, Phil Hartman was working at and involved with.

Sean’s heritage from his father’s side is English, German and Irish. On his mother’s side it is more of a real mix – English, Scottish, French Canadian, Danish, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian and Mexican.

Phil Hartmann, Sean’s father, was a well known and loved Canadian screenwriter, graphic designer, actor and comedian, regularly appearing on the NBC comedy show “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), completing his eighth and final season on SNL in February 1998.

Advertisement

He was also a voiceover artist, best known for his work voicing many of “The Simpsons” characters, as well as being the voice for Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo.

Phil was married three times, first to Gretchen Lewis from 1970-1972, then Lisa Strain from 1982-1985, and shortly afterwards met his future third wife and Sean’s mother Brynn, an aspiring model on a blind date; they married in 1987. Sean has one younger sibling, Birgen Anika who was born in February 1992.  Both of Sean’s parents suffered from alcohol and substance abuse issues, as the impact of fame apparently effected both parents negatively. As a result of this, the early years of Sean’s childhood were not the most peaceful or stable.

On the 28th May 1998, the infamous suicide murder event took place that changed Sean and his sister’s life forever. After attending a restaurant in Los Angeles, Brynn Hartman shot Phil Hartmann three times whilst he was sleeping in bed. After admitting to a friend what she had done, she locked herself in the bathroom and shot herself in the head. This murder-suicide left Sean and his sister Birgen orphans; Sean was nine at the time, and his younger sister Birgen, six. They were both in the house whilst this happened, which was therefore obviously a deeply traumatic event for them both. Afterwards they were taken to a park by a family friend, who could tell they were in shock. They apparently announced their sadness that their mother ‘wouldn’t be able to take her to do all the fun things she’d promised’.

Advertisement

Much of Hollywood mourned the loss of Phil. In an attempt to remove the children from a media circus, they were sent to live in the Midwest with a maternal aunt, Katherine Wright and her husband Mike; the couple didn’t have children of their own. They took custody of the children, and raised them outside of Los Angeles, apparently with the children using a different last name during their childhood in order to “shield them from the media and allow them to grow up in relative obscurity”. First they lived in Eau Claire, a community in northern Wisconsin, and later in Edina, Minnesota. Later on, the children went to live with a paternal relative, their uncle and Phil’s brother John.

Early education, career, hobbies/interests

Once in school, it became clear that Sean was an artistic character just like his father had been before him.

He attended Edina High faculty for high school. During his time here he took part in artistic endeavours such as creating and illustrating the poster for the short film ‘Kimura’s Vengeance’. Sean had a clear passion for music from a young age, and was a member of several bands, one such being ‘Metamorphic Mexico’, of which there are black and white photos available.

After high school he attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design which he later graduated from, after which he interned at several artistic companies, pursuing his dream of staying within the artistic world.

Career

Sean is an actor, writer, a graphic art designer, a voice artist, artist and a comedian.

Advertisement

He has used his natural interest and passion with the arts to create a career that has expanded in different directions within the artistic realm. He has had various illustration and graphic design jobs, although none of them are well known to the public realm.

He is the keyboard player in the band ‘Moonstone Continuum’ which perform in the US. He is currently performing Stand Up Comedy with the Cleveland Comedy club as he can be seen promoting on his Instagram account. He is relatively active on Instagram, as @sean_hartman.

Sean currently resides in Oakland, California.

Partner

Sean is currently single, although he is very private about his personal life. He doesn’t comment on this, post about it, or make any public statements that could lead to further indications of his relationship status.

Other relationships

Sean is still close with his sister Birgen, after attending her marriage to Brandon in 2018. Birgen and Branden became engaged in 2015 and were married in 2018 in a beautiful ceremony in Italy. There are photos of this ceremony, which looked like a fairy tale occasion for Birgen. Sean remains a supportive and close brother to his sister and only sibling. Birgen continues to live outside of LA, stating that her love of nature compels her to lead a more rural lifestyle.

Birgen was featured in SNL’s 40th anniversary special show, reuniting with many of her father’s old friends; Sean wasn’t in attendance.

Unlike as children, today both proudly use their real last name ‘Hartman’.

Net Worth

Sean Edward Hartman’s current estimated net worth stands at $1 million. He and his sister were both left with an inheritance from their late parents, who had planned ahead in the event of their death, so left behind an estate of an estimated worth $1.23 million. This was to be awarded to the children in parts – 25% each after they attained a bachelor’s degree, and the other 25% each upon them turning 30.

Furthermore, sources suggest that Sean is currently making $150,000 to $200,000 yearly on an average salary through his various graphic design work and artistic endeavours.

Physical characteristics

Sean Edward Hartman is tall, with brown or black hair, and green eyes.

Published

on

Who is Tom Guiry?

Thomas John Guiry was born on 12 October 1981, in Toms River, New Jersey, USA, and is an actor, best known for first finding fame in the film “The Sandlot” in which he portrayed the character, Scott Smalls. Since then, he’s appeared in several high profile films, including “The Revenant”, “Mystic River” and “Black Hawk Down”.

The Wealth of Tom Guiry

As of early-2020, Tom Guiry’s net worth is estimated to be over $100,000, earned through a relatively successful career in the entertainment industry. His consistent acting work has led him to good paydays though he has yet to gain a big day that would help him reach the millions.

He’s worked on a few television projects during his career as well.

Early Life, Education, and Career Beginnings

Tom’s family later moved to Hamilton, Mercer, New Jersey where he would go about his education. He attended Notre Dame Roman Catholic High School in nearby Lawrenceville. During this time, he developed an interest in the acting profession, and took the chance at an opportunity for a professional acting career.

This led him to his first acting role in 1993, “The Sandlot” which would elevate his career significantly. The film stars him alongside Karen Allen, Mike Vitar, James Earl Jones, and Denis Leary, and was very successful, since gaining a cult following.

The film tells the story of a boy who in his effort to make friends, becomes a part of a local baseball team, with the team going on several adventures while in the local sandlot. While critics didn’t look too highly on the film, the same couldn’t be said for the audience, most of whom enjoyed the film.

Continued Acting Projects – Black Hawk Down

Following the success of “The Sandlot”, Guiry continued to take on film roles for the rest of the 1990s, though none of them emulated the same success as his first project. Some of his appearances during this period included “The Four Diamonds”, “Shattered Family”, “Songs in Ordinary Time” and “All I Wanna Do”.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BO-WZVIDvTZ/

At the start of the new millennium, he was cast in the film “U-571” playing the role of Seaman Ted “Trigger” Fitzgerald. The film follows the story of the titular submarine during World War II. The film was successful but attracted controversy for its depiction of Britain and the Germans during the war.

The following year, he then landed another big role as he played Sergeant Ed Yurek in the film “Black Hawk Down”. The film starred current and future stars including Eric Bana, Josh Hartnett, Tom Hardy, Sam Shepard and William Fichtner, and was based on the Raid on Mogadishu in 1993, when elite soldiers from the US Army were dispatched to capture two lieutenants of the self-proclaimed president of Somali, Mohamed Farrah Aidid.

The mission turned catastrophic, as a helicopter became a war zone that extended into an overnight standoff.

Mystic River and Television Work

Two years after “Black Hawk Down”, Tom was cast in a notable role in the film “Mystic River” which starred Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, and Laurence Fishburn, and was based on the Dennis Lehane book of the same name, and directed by Clint Eastwood. The film was nominated for numerous categories during the Academy Awards, leading to a Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress win, the first film to achieve so since “Ben-Hur” in the 1950s.

At around the same time, he began working on television, appearing as a guest in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, “Law & Order: Criminal Intent”, and the original “Law & Order”. In 2007, he got his first regular role on television in “The Black Donnellys”. The show aired on NBC, telling the story of four brothers living in Hell’s Kitchen, and all somehow involved in crime, but the show was canceled after a season due to low ratings. He then continued with film work, including “Strangers with Candy” and ‘Bristol Boys”, but also with occasional guest work on television.

Recent Projects – The Revenant

Following the end of “The Black Donnellys”, Guiry was cast in the film “Black Irish” in which he portrayed Terry McKay. The film is about a man from Boston who is trying to keep his family together, especially his father who has become emotionally distant, and also starred Emily VanCamp, Melissa Leo, and Michael Angarano. He then worked on projects such as “Unforgettable”, “CSI: Miami”, and “Yonkers Joe”.

In 2015, he was cast in another high profile film – “The Revenant” – which starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy and Will Poulter, and was based on the novel of the same name written by Michael Punke.

The story recounts the experiences of frontiersman Hugh Glass, first documented in the poem “The Song of Hugh Glass” – Glass who is on an expedition to bring pelts acquired by trappers in the Dakotas. During their expedition, many of them are killed by an attack of a Native American war party. With the survivors, he goes scouting when he is attacked by a Grizzly bear, leaving him to a near-death state. With two men left behind to watch over him, one tries to kill him and the other watcher. Glass then makes an effort to let him be left behind half-dead, but his will to survive and take revenge leads him to an adventure across the frontier, with numerous threats around him.

Personal Life

Tom married Janelle in 2009 and they have three children together. Their marriage was held in South Carolina at Crown Reef located in Myrtle Beach. A few years later, he was arrested at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport where it was said that he got into an altercation with a police officer, after he was prevented from boarding a flight due to drunkenness.
