William Devane | Born 1974

The names Nehemiah Persoff and William Devane might not be familiar to many of us, but these two were actually part of the same document drama, The Missiles of October, which was released back in 1974. The latter is also known for playing the role of Greg Sumner in the primetime soap opera Knots Landing. Those who are fond of the series 24 remember him as James Heller. Devane also appeared as the famous Al Capone in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Now that she is a little older, Devane has taken on more challenging roles. He appeared as President Hayes in Stargate: Continuum and then as Grandpa Edward Grayson in the soap opera Revenge. Many other moviemakers had made investments in the actor, proving that he is a very versatile one. Of course, the major acknowledgement he got is from his wife, Euginie Devane.
