Who is Stephen Collins?
Christopher Collins, an actor and Iowa native, made his acting debut in the 1976 film “All the President’s Men” as Hugh Sloan, a real-life figure who served as the accountant for Richard Nixon’s campaign committee in 1972.
Three years later, he portrayed Captain Willard Decker in “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”. Collins has also appeared in films such as “Blood Diamond,” “The Big Picture,” “The First Wives Club,” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” He turned 67 on October 1st.
Christopher Collins was considered for the role played by Ryan O’Neal in the movie “Love Story,” but he had already committed to another production, according to People magazine.
Collins was set to star in the film “Ted 2,” but it was canceled following the molestation allegations.
He played the role of a fearless 1930s bush pilot in the 1983 TV show “Tales of the Gold Monkey,” which aimed to emulate the success of the “Indiana Jones” films. However, the show only lasted for one season.
Collins made his debut in the highly anticipated series “Tattingers” in 1988. The show was created by “St. Elsewhere” producers Bruce Paltrow and John Masius and centered around a New York restaurant. Sadly, the show was axed after one season, similar to his previous projects.
The 1990 TV show “Working It Out,” which featured Collins, also ran for one season before meeting the same fate. Collins made other appearances in film and television.
He received an Emmy nomination for his role in “The Two Mrs. Grenvilles” in 1987 and in “A Woman Named Jackie” in 1991, where he portrayed John F. Kennedy.
