Michael Baseleon

Born in Chicago Michael Baseleon was a busy actor who debuted in the theater before becoming a regular on television. Knowing that he starred, was featured or was the guest star in about 90 TV movies or TV series episodes (among which 'Mission: Impossible', 'Police Story', 'The F.B.I.', 'Flamingo Road'), one can say TV was Baseleon's main playing-field. Cinema-wise, it is to be noted that although he did not make many feature films, three out of the few he did make stand out as interesting (Dassin's 'Uptight' and Aldrich's 'The Grissom Gang') one is even cult ('A Man Called Horse'). Michael Baseleon was only 61 when in 1986 he died of a heart attack.
