Born: February 14, 1955

Probably best known as Jim Walsh, the father of Brandon and Brenda on Beverly_Hills_90210, actor James Eckhouse hadn't yet set his sites on acting when he graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976. He didn't start appearing onscreen until the early '80s, when he began scoring minor roles in films like Will There Really Be a Morning? and Trading_Places. Then, in 1990, Eckhouse was cast in Beverly_Hills_90210 when it was a brand new series. It turned out to be a major hit, and Eckhouse stayed with the show for the next eight years. Afterward, he maintained a thriving acting career, making appearances on a wide variety of popular TV shows such as Without a Trace, Dharma & Greg, and CSI. Cammila Albertson, Rovi
