Jim Byrnes

Highest Rated: 17% Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)

Lowest Rated: 0% Fetching Cody (2005)

Birthday: Sep 22, 1948

Birthplace: St. Louis, Missouri, USA

An American-born actor long in Canada, Jim Byrnes is best known for playing 'Lifeguard', the communications expert and link to the "organization" on the CBS series "Wiseguy" (1987-1990), and as Joe Dawson, one of The Mortals tracking The Immortals on "Highlander" (syndicated, from 1993-98). A handsome man, often bearded, Byrnes lost both his legs when, while helping push a stalled truck on a highway, he was hit from behind by a car. After recuperating, he pursued work as a musician, which also led to the acting career for which he had once trained.
