BIOGRAPHY: [no bio found]
TRIVIA:
- Born in Chicago and grew up in Evanston and Joliet, Illinois. He lived on his father's farm/ranch and while young was interested in becoming a vet.
- A one-time champion roller skater, he performed many of his own stunts in the film _Rollerball (1975)_ (qv). He was also a proficient boxer and won several amateur titles in his life, most notably the heavyweight 'Golden Gloves' of Chicago.
- Made his first TV appearance as an actor in a 1965 episode of "I Dream of Jeannie" (entitled "Russian Roulette").
- His tutors encouraged him to try acting as a means to overcome his profound shyness. He was encouraged after performing in a high school play at age 16. Moving to California in 1962 at age 19, he initially made his living by appearing in TV commercials.
- Beck's dream TV role on _"Dallas" (1978)_ (qv) proved to be just that -- a dream. He played Pamela Ewing's husband on the popular western soap during the series' notorious 1985-86 season, which was explained away at the beginning of the next season as entirely a figment of Pam's imagination.
- His big breakthrough was in the movie _The Other Side of Midnight (1977)_ (qv) in which he played the male lead. The film was a huge box office flop, largely due to 20th Century Fox's decision to throw full weight behind the first Star Wars film.
- In the 1990s he started voice acting for the first time in his career when he provided the voice of the Punisher in three episodes of "Spider-Man: The Animated Series".
- Met wife Tina, a former British model, in Mexico when they were both working on the movie _Lawman (1971)_ (qv). They married in 1971 and have four children -- one son named Tara James and three daughters named Tatiana, Talia and Natasha.
