| Dan Blocker was the star
linebacker on the Sul Ross State College (now Sul Ross State U.) football team.He weighed
14 pounds at birth, and by age 12, he was already over six feet tall. |
 |
 |
| After college, Dan served in the Korean
War. Here he is soaking his tired feet while reading Shakespeare. |

| Dan had a passion for
football, but he could care less about acting. He was drafted into a small part in a
college production of Arsenic and Old Lace because no one in the drama department was

bug, and won several awards. |
