Lee Majors

Film and voice actor Lee Majors was known for his portrayal of Health Barkley in The Big Valley back in the ’60s. In the ’70s, Lee Majors slowed down in having a big role but jumped back with the hit science fiction and action television series, The Six Million Dollar Man where he played Colonel Steve Austin. The series became an international success, being screened in over 70 countries, turning Majors into a pop icon. In 1977, with The Six Million Dollar Man still a hit series, Majors tried to renegotiate his contract with Universal Television. It was rumored that Majors was holding out for more money, but his manager denied this.

He also played Colt Seavers in The Fall Guy. Despite his popularity, Lee had to deal with challenges in his personal life, including talking with his lawyers for his divorce papers from his previous marriages. His recent major project was when he voice-acted a Six Million Dollar Man action figure for a car manufacturing company.
