Wayne Maunder
Wayne Maunder was born in Four Falls, New Brunswick, Canada, on December 19, 1937, and raised in Bangor, Maine. Major league baseball attracted his early interest, and even though he had several tryouts, he didn't succeed. He then switched to psychiatry while at Compton Junior College in California, but decided on another change, this time to drama. A part in an amateur play fired his desire to further his acting, and he headed off to New York and hopefully Broadway. Wayne studied at Stella Adler's Drama Group during the day, and at night, Grand Central Station saw him waiting on tables, which is an occupation most theater actors seem to rely on in the lean times. For the next two years, he studied and acted, when he could, in stock companies. Some of his work included roles in Hamlet, Othello and a stint in Much Ado About Nothing with the American Shakespeare Company on Long Island. He headed back to LA when a theatrical agent signed him up after watching him perform in The Knack. Wayne was 29 years old when he landed the lead role of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer in the 20th Century Fox television production about Custer, which was later titled The Legend of Custer (1968) for USA theatrical release. He grew a mustache and his blonde hair long for the character. The 1967-produced series was full of stunts, action and believable stories, which captured the viewer, but unfortunately not enough of them because its run lasted only 17 episodes. Scott Lancer, the Boston-educated oldest son of Murdoch Lancer was a role the Lancer producers thought ideal for him, and Wayne was signed up in 1968. This series was also made by 20th Century Fox, and Wayne was required for action scenes as well as horse riding. Gone were the long hair and mustache, but that didn't stop him from receiving generous amounts of fan mail and appearing in television and teen magazines at the time. In 1971, he appeared in The Seven Minutes (1971) and on television in Kung Fu (1972) and Chase (1973). In 1981, Porky's (1981) was his only reported role. He now spends his time behind the camera, producing independent films.

Wayne Morris
American actor who had early success as a sunny juvenile, but whose career declined following World War II, in which he was a highly-decorated hero. A native of Los Angeles, Morris played football at Los Angeles Junior College, then worked as a forest ranger. Returning to school, he studied acting at Los Angeles Junior College and at the acclaimed Pasadena Playhouse. A Warner Bros. talent scout spotted him at the Playhouse and he signed with the studio in 1936. Blond and open-faced, he was a perfect type for boy-next-door parts and within a year had made a success in the title role of Kid Galahad (1937). While filming Flight Angels (1940), Morris became interested in flying and became a pilot. With war in the wind, he joined the Naval Reserve and became a Navy flier in 1942, leaving his film career behind for the duration of the war. Assigned to the carrier Essex in the Pacific, Morris shot down seven Japanese planes and contributed to the sinking of five ships. He was awarded four Distinguished Flying Crosses and two Air Medals. Following the war, Morris returned to films, but his nearly four-year absence had cost him his burgeoning stardom. He continued to topline movies, but the pictures, for the most part, sank in quality. Losing his boyish looks but not demeanor, Morris spent most of the Fifties in low-budget Westerns. A wonderful performance as a weakling in Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory (1957) might have given impetus to a new career as a character actor, had Morris lived. However, he suffered a massive heart attack while visiting aboard the aircraft carrier Bon Homme Richard in San Francisco Bay and was pronounced dead after being transported to Oakland Naval Hospital in Oakland, California. He was 45. His last film was not released until two years after his death.
