Alan Dale
Alan Hugh Dale (born 6 May 1947) is a New Zealand actor. As a child, Dale developed a love of theatre and also became a rugby player. After retiring from the sport he took on a number of professions to support his family, before deciding to become a professional actor at the age of 27. With work limited in New Zealand, Dale moved to Australia, where he played Dr. John Forrest in ''The Young Doctors'' from 1979 to 1982. He later appeared as Jim Robinson in ''Neighbours'', a part he played from 1985 until 1993. He left the series when he fell out with the producers over the pay he and the rest of the cast received.
After leaving ''Neighbours'', Dale found that he had become typecast as Robinson in Australia and struggled to find work. His career was revitalised after he relocated to the United States in 2000. Since then he has had roles in many American series including prominent parts in ''The O.C.'' (as Caleb Nichol) and ''Ugly Betty'' (as Bradford Meade), as well as recurring and guest roles in ''Lost'', ''24'', ''NCIS'', ''ER'', ''The West Wing'', ''The X-Files'', ''Entourage'' and ''Once Upon a Time''. Dale has also appeared in minor roles in films such as ''Star Trek Nemesis'', ''Hollywood Homicide'', ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' and ''The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'', as well as the London West End production of ''Spamalot''. Dale has been married to former Miss Australia Tracey Pearson since 1990 and has four children.
==Early life and work==
Dale was born on 6 May 1947 in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand. One of four children, Dale enjoyed his childhood, but his family was relatively poor.〔 Although he was a gentle child, Dale was bullied so he learned to defend and stand up for himself.〔
Growing up in New Zealand without television until the 1960s, Dale developed a love of theatre and amateur dramatics.〔 His first performance was for a school concert, at the age of 13, doing an impression of comedian Shelley Berman. His parents became founding members of an amateur theatre in Auckland called "The Little Dolphin Theatre". Dale often operated the stage equipment used to produce weather effects,〔 and whenever he was on stage he loved the applause.〔 Although a skilled rugby player, Dale opted to move into drama instead because "the acting fraternity didn't like footballers and the footballers didn't like actors. () Acting gave me the same buzz and there was the chance of a longer career."〔 He gave up rugby at the age of 21 because it was not considered a workable career at the time, and he had to support his family.〔 Acting roles were limited in New Zealand so Dale worked in multiple jobs, including as a male model,〔 a car salesman and a realtor.〔 While working as a milkman he heard the disc jockey at his local radio station resign during a broadcast. Dale went over to the station and told the managers he could do a better job. They gave him a trial and then signed him up for the afternoon show, which led to him landing his first TV role,〔 and at the age of 27 he decided to become a professional actor.〔
