Date of Birth : Feb 20th 1951
American film and television actor. He was also known as Edward Laurence Albert and occasionally Eddie Albert Jr. Edward is probably most famous for his work in the 1972 film Butterflies Are Free in which he played Don Baker, a blind man who is a talented guitarist and singer-songwriter. His performance won him the Golden Globe Award for New Star Of The Year – Actor. The following year he starred opposite Liv Ullman in the film adaptation of the play 40 Carats. Children may remember him as Mr. Collins, father to Wesley Collins, the Red Ranger from Power Rangers: Time Force.
He appeared as a U.S. Navy fighter pilot in the epic film Midway, portraying the doomed son of a famous (and fictitious) naval captain (played by Charleton Heston). By the end of the battle, his character is attacked by Japanese fighter planes that set his aircraft on fire, burning him horribly. His character manages to crash-land his damaged airplane but with severe life-threatening injuries. This is a climactic point to the film’s sub-plot.
