Beau Bridges

From TheBestLinks.com

Beau Bridges, actually born Lloyd Vernet Bridges III on December 9, 1941, is an American actor. He is the son of actor Lloyd Bridges and his college sweetheart, Dorothy Dean. He was nicknamed "Beau" by his mother and father after Ashley Wilkes' son in Gone With the Wind, the title of the book they were reading at the time. Bridges is also the older brother of actor Jeff Bridges, born in 1949. His sister, Cindy, was born in 1950.

In 1949, Bridges played a secondary juvenile role in the movie The Red Pony, which he received good billing. Wanting to be a basketball star, however, he played his freshmen year at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and later transferred to the University of Hawaii. However, realizing his height was holding him back from sports, he dropped out to continue acting instead.

Bridges enjoys playing guitar (as does his brother), collects Native American percussion instruments, loves the ocean (such as swimming and surfing), and is also active in handgun control and environmental protection.
