Mike
Farrell
| Born
in Minnesota, Mike Farrell was two years old when his family
moved to LA; his father, a carpenter, had just gotten a lucrative
movie-studio job. Exposed to showbiz from an early age, Farrell
began acting in high school plays, hoping to pursue the theatre
as a career. He was forced to put his thespic urges on the
back burner during his hitch with the U.S. Marines, but upon
being discharged he attended drama courses at Los Angeles
City College and UCLA, and also studied at the Jeff Corey
Workshop. He made his professional debut in a 1961 stage production
of Rain, then spent several years playing bits in such films
as Captain Newman MD (1963), The Graduate (1967) and Targets
(1968). His first real break came in 1968, when he was cast
as architect Scott Banning on the NBC daytime drama Days of
Our Lives. Two years later, he put his John Hancock on a contract
with Universal, playing supporting roles in such prime-times
series as The Interns (1969) and Man and the City (1971). |
