Gary Busey

More on Gary Busey:

Most recently seen in Sharknado, From Dusk Till Dawn, the television show and Dancing With the Stars, Gary Busey is famously known for the lead role in The Buddy Holly Story, which garnered him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in 1978. Gary was also the last player to die on Gunsmoke when the show ended its 18-year run. His pivotal performance as the villain in Lethal Weapon earned him the attention of a new generation.

In December 1988, he suffered a near fatal motorcycle accident which left him comatose for one and a half months. After regaining consciousness and with the help of his family, he re-learned how to eat, walk and speak. Immediately after his recovery, he began working again, on the cult classic Point Break - a testament to his tenacity, passion, and love of his craft.

In the 1990s, he worked closely with then President Bill Clinton, in creating language for the "Traumatic Brain Injury Act.” This significant Act was instrumental in passing the Helmet Law in California.

He has appeared in over 150 films spanning four decades, including the memorable iconic classics Under Siege and The Firm and the upcoming film Candiland to be released in December.

In 2012 after his son Luke was afflicted with Kawasaki Disease, he started the Busey Foundation for children’s Kawasaki Disease to raise awareness of this rare and dangerous ailment, with the goal of helping families in need.
