ROY THINNES American Actor b.April 6, 1938 Chicago, Illinois

Roy Thinnes was born in Chicago in 1938. He is a superb actor, and really took to his craft seriously. He starred in several series,the most reknown being the 1967-1968 season, entitled, "The Invaders." Although, he was somewhat typecast from then on, he engaged in a variety of roles, from commercial air pilot to psychiatrist. Each time, convincingly serious, evoking a character of trust, the almost boring, but true blue American hero; not the smart-alek, wise-cracking, lawyer-type, as we are so subjected to in today's hero cast; but from a genre that should be held in high esteem, as should this fine performer's contributions to movies and television.

His heritage is from Nancy, France; and Germany.
