Don Swayze
(Actor)
Donald ‘Don’ Swayze is an American actor and dancer who appeared in many character roles in his film and TV career spread across the 80s, 90s and 2000s. Born in Texas, Don took inspiration from his mother, who happened to be a choreographer, but she never quite made it to Hollywood. Don entered film school and started auditioning and began his acting career with ‘Street Hawk’, ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Matt Lock’ and a few other television shows. His film career saw him playing a supporting character in ‘Shy People’ in the late 80’s. He showed his dancing skills in the film ‘Urban Cowboy’, which paved his way to get a few more films and TV roles where the characters were required to be a dancer. Lately, he was seen in the Netflix series ‘Longmire’ and he has also been active in the theatre circuit at well. In 2001, he was seen in ‘Man of La Mancha’ production, which was a loose retelling of the cult novel ‘Don Quixote’. Don is the brother of late popular actor Patrick Swayze and even though he never achieved a much success as his brother, Don has carved a niche for himself, in his very own way.
