Maxwell Caulfield
From Free net encyclopedia
Maxwell Caulfield (born on November 23, 1959 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a British actor.
His American stepfather, a Marine instructor at Parris Island, kicked him out of the house at the age of 15.
He moved eventually to the U.S., got his green card and found work as an exotic dancer before making his acting debut off-Broadway in the title role of Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane as an amoral, murderous, but very sexy drifter.
He went on to star in the musical film Grease 2 (1982) opposite Michelle Pfeiffer.
At 21, he married Juliet Mills (18 years his senior) in 1980, and became stepfather to her daughter, Melissa Miklenda.
His other appearances include a role in Judith Krantz's Till We Meet Again, and in the movie Gettysburg. In addition to his role in Grease 2, he is perhaps best known for a continual role on the successful Dynasty spin-off The Colbys.

He also appeared in the first episode of Beverly Hills 90210 as an older man interested in Shannen Doherty until he finds out how young she is. He appeared in a humorous role as "Rex Manning", a spoiled has-been rock star, in the film Empire Records (1995).
He made his Broadway debut in J. B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls opposite Sian Phillips.
He returned to the UK in 2004 to appear as Dr.Jim Brodie in the highly rated BBC medical drama Casualty.
Maxwell is currently performing the lead in 'Tryst' off Broadway to unanimously rave reviews.
He and Mills reside in Santa Barbara, California.
