Richard Chamberlain | Born: 1934

Richard Chamberlain was very active in Hollywood when he was young. He made his fortune as a teen idol during the 1960s thanks to his credit role in the television series Dr. Kildare, which ran from 1961 to 1966. He continued to hone his craft during this time and eventually became recognized as a serious actor. In addition, he is also known for being the first actor to play the role of Jason Bourne — this was long before Matt Damon took on the role of the special agent.

While his career peaked in the 1970s, he’s been mostly focusing his energy on television since the 1990s. Indeed, he’s made appearances in shows such as Nip/Tuck, Desperate Housewives, and Leverage. In addition, he had performed in a few theater productions, including in Spamalot and My Fair Lady, among others.
