Description
In 1944, a little boy named Dean Stockwell began his acting career quite by accident when he accompanied his older brother, Guy, to a Broadway audition. No one could have suspected that the precocious youngster who had trouble remembering his single line of "I won't be damned!" and had little interest in the production would grow up to become one of the most prolific and talented performers in Hollywood. From his film debut in the 1945 musical "Anchors Aweigh" to his Oscar-nominated role of Tony "The Tiger" Russo in "Married to the Mob," Dean Stockwell has made a name for himself through offbeat and unique roles in movies, theatre and television. His most successful role and greatest fame came with the part of Al Calavicci in NBC's science-fiction series "Quantum Leap," and as a former child star with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer he qualifies as one of the legendary actors of the studio system. However, his name doesn't ring a bell with the general public. Who is Dean Stockwell? And just what has he done in his life? Well, he's done more than you might think...
