Bruce Boxleitner

Bruce William Boxleitner is an American actor, and science fiction and suspense writer.

Bruce was born in Elgin, Illinois, the son of a certified public accountant. He attended Prospect High School in Mount Prospect, Illinois, and the Goodman Theater School of Drama of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Bruce is best known for his leading roles in the television series How the West Was Won, Bring 'Em Back Alive, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Babylon 5.

He also starred in The Gambler TV movie series. In 2005 he co-starred as Captain Martin Duvall in Young Blades. He has also starred in several films within the Babylon 5 universe, including Babylon 5: In the Beginning, Babylon 5: Thirdspace, Babylon 5: A Call to Arms and the direct-to-DVD Babylon 5: The Lost Tales.

From 1986-1989, Bruce appeared in advertisements for Estee Lauder's "Lauder For Men."  He has written two science fiction novels with a Western setting: Frontier Earth and Searcher.

Bruce's first marriage (1977–1987) was to American actress Kathryn Holcomb. He has been married to actress Melissa Gilbert (of Little House on the Prairie fame) since 1995. Melissa also guest-starred as Bruce's on-screen wife, Anna Sheridan, on Babylon 5.

In 2003, Bruce was appointed to the Board of Governors of the National Space Society, a nonprofit, educational space advocacy organization founded by Dr. Wernher von Braun.

I could find no "religious affiliation" for either Melissa or Bruce.  Amazing.  Not even something about their childhoods.  Please pray that our Father will reveal Himself to them!
