A ubiquitous presence during television's golden age, New York native Frank Maxwell stood out as a solid purveyor of quiet authority. Upon graduating from the University of Michigan, a prospective legal career had been on the cards. But those plans came to naught in the wake of a successful theatrical debut in "Macbeth" at the Ann Arbor Dramatic Festival. Wartime service as a navigator and bombardier with the 20th Air Force then put further ambitions temporarily on hold. After the war, Frank found himself blacklisted during the communist witch hunts of the McCarthy era and was forced to make ends meet by acting in summer stock and on radio. By the end of the 40's he had moved back to New York. In the course of the next few years -- now matured into a seasoned and versatile character player -- he began to make a name for himself with small roles in high-profile Broadway plays like "Death of a Salesman" and "Stalag 17". From 1951, he was also regularly featured on television, usually as gruff but benevolent army officers or police detectives. After appearing in a 1958 Los Angeles stage production of "Lonelyhearts", he was afforded the chance to reprise his role as the disabled husband of Maureen Stapleton in the 1959 film version. Raspy-voiced, of stocky built and and with that distinctive white streak of hair, Frank became one of the most recognisable (not to mention prolific) character actors of the 60's and 70's. Aside from guesting on almost every seminal television series of the era (among them Perry Mason (1957), Peter Gunn (1958), The Twilight Zone (1959), Rawhide (1959), Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955) and The Fugitive (1963), he had recurring roles in The Felony Squad (1966) (as an L.A. police captain) and on the long-running daytime soap General Hospital (1963) (as administrator Dan Rooney). He was also a member of Roger Corman's stock company of players, prominently cast as the kindly Dr. Marinus Willet in the enjoyably campy The Haunted Palace (1963) and as a preacher in The Wild Angels (1966). For the better part, he remained typecast as tough, no-nonsense authority figures (as exemplified by his Detective Lieutenant McAllen in Mr. Majestyk (1974)). Behind the scenes, Frank Maxwell was a tireless campaigner and negotiator on behalf of Actor's Equity (as Vice President) and as National President of AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) from 1984 to 1989. His daughter, Chris Ann Maxwell, is Vice President of Legal Affairs at 20th Century Fox.

A former railroad worker, Frank McDonald came to Hollywood after a career on the stage as an actor/producer/director. At first hired as a dialogue director, McDonald turned out some scripts and in the mid-'30s began directing. Working for almost every studio in Hollywood at one time or another, he did a lot of work for Republic, grinding out Gene Autry and Roy Rogers westerns, and at the Pine/Thomas "B" unit at Paramount, churning out westerns, action dramas and war pictures. Not entirely comfortable as a director--Evelyn Keyes once said, "I've never seen anyone as terrified of directing as Frank McDonald"--he nevertheless turned out more than 100 pictures in his career.

African-American former NFL player, with plenty of height and built like an ox, Frank McRae scored over 40 film appearances predominantly as physically imposing men and authority figures, sometimes in quite comedic roles. McRae first came to attention playing a grinning jail inmate, "Reed Youngblood," helping Warren Oates escape in Dillinger (1973), and then quickly notched up minor tough guy parts in several films including Hard Times (1975), F.I.S.T (1978) and Big Wednesday (1978). However, not to be typecast, McRae played some light-hearted & comedic performances in National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), *batteries not included (1987) and as a foul-mouthed mechanic in the hilarious Used Cars (1980). He also turned in a quite funny role in Loaded Weapon 1 (1993), and as Arnold Schwarzenegger's long-suffering police captain in Last Action Hero (1993).
