JAMES REBHORN

The veteran actor has appeared in over a hundred TV shows and film productions throughout his career. Due to rather stern looks the James Robert Rebhorn was best known for portraying military men, politicians, lawyers, and doctors. Despite the degree of typecasting he received, he still delivered in every role. His appearance in films was a bit more varied, including parts in Meet the Parents, My Cousin Vinny, Independence Day, and The Talented Mr. Ripley.

James studied political science in Ohio, where he met his mentor and director, Richard S. Huffman. After graduation, he moved to New York and finished his masters’ in acting before entering the theatre scene. He lived in New Jersey with his wife, Rebecca Linn, and two daughters. Aware of the inevitable, he bravely wrote his obituary, before passing in 2004. He was 65 years old back then and a guy who was loved by many.
