Tom Berenger

Highest Rated: 100% Deadly Pursuit (1988)

Lowest Rated: 0% A Murder of Crows (1998)

Birthday: May 31, 1949

Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois, USA

Having first established himself in brooding, aggressive roles, actor Tom Berenger first came to the public's attention as the self-effacing Tom Selleck-like television star in Lawrence Kasdan's iconic drama, "The Big Chill" (1983). But it was his hard-edged turn as the Vietnam War-scarred Sergeant Barnes in "Platoon" (1986) that turned the relatively unknown actor into a bona fide star. Berenger next emerged in the unlikeliest of places, playing a professional baseball player in the surprise hit comedy "Major League" (1989), a role he reprised five years later in the sequel. From there, he specialized in playing historical figures like Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet in "Gettysburg" (1993) and Theodore Roosevelt in "Rough Riders" (TNT, 1997), while appearing regularly in genre films like "Sniper" (1993) and its two sequels. Whether occasionally popping up in more high-profile movies like "Training Day" (2001) and "Inception" (2010), co-starring on his first regular primetime series "October Road" (ABC, 2007-08), or winning an Emmy for his work in the acclaimed miniseries "Hatfields & McCoys" (History, 2012), Berenger seemed content playing a wide array of villains and antiheroes in non-theatrical releases.
