Bruce William Boxleitner was born on May 12, 1950, in Elgin, Illinois, USA. Bruce Boxleitner began working on television productions while roles in film productions were rare in the 1970s. Fame came to him playing Luke Macahan in the TV show “How the West Was Won”, which aired between 1976 and 1979. In the 1990s, what perhaps is the role for which he’s best known, John Sheridan in the TV show “Babylon 5”, arrived for Bruce Boxleitner. The actor was a regular character in the show from the second to the fifth and last season, between 1994 and 1998. He reprised that role in the following years in some TV movies connected to it that are set in different periods before, during, and after the show.
