Danny Bravo For SCIFI.radio fans of my generation, Danny Bravo was an integral part of our childhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v9nQTwF_yqNg Danny Bravo is 71. He was born on January 29, 1948 in Los Angeles, California, USA as Daniel Zaldivar . The child actor appeared in The Magnificent Seven movie as one of the children in the Mexican village, but most famously, Bravo provided the voice of Hadji in the iconic animated TV series Jonny Quest. He also appeared in two episodes of One Step Beyond and an episode of Kraft Suspense Theater. He has more than five dozen credits, stretch from his first role as "Chico" in an episode of General Electric Theater called Beyond the Mountains in 1959, to a role as "Prince" in The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in 1969. He performed the role of Hadjii in all 26 episodes of Johnny Quest. Tom Selleck in QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER, image via MGM Tom Selleck Today is Tom Selleck's 73rd birthday. Best known for action/adventure roles like Magnum, PI, the Jesse Stone movies, and playing police commissioner Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods, his only science fiction role so far is as the voice of Cornelius in Disney's Meet the Robinsons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vhbiKTuTT0Pg He was, however, very very nearly Indiana Jones. He was being strongly considered for the role by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. They hold out the offer to Selleck for about a month, but Selleck had just signed for Magnum P.I. Unfortunately he couldn't get out of the contract. Ironically there was an actor's strike right at the time the television show was supposed to start shooting, so Selleck had to take a job as a handyman in Hawaii while he waited for the show to start. Even more ironically, while he was waiting, a big production came to Hawaii while he was waiting. It was Raiders of the Lost Ark. Also in History January 29 is also the birthday of abolitionist and suffragette, Harriet Tubman, born 1/29/1820. She escaped from slavery and led hundreds of other slaves north to freedom. During the Civil War she worked as a scout for the Union army. Political philosopher Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense and The American Crisis was born on this date in 1736. -30-

Happy Birthday Oprah Winfrey, Danny Bravo, Tom Selleck
