Lorenzo Lamas – 1958
American actor Lorenzo Lamas may never shake off the identity of an irresponsible grandson, a role he played in the ’80s soap opera “Falcon Crest.” For that role, though, he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film.
In the 21st century, however, he became known for his role as Dr. Hollywood in the Nickelodeon TV show “Big Time Rush” and starred in his own reality TV show “Leave It to Lamas.” After enjoying relative success in the entertainment industry, Lamas pursued another interest—flying helicopters. Since 2016, he has been working as a pilot and now works with HeliNY in New York City.
