Ned Vaughn (born November 20, 1964) is an American film and television actor who served as vice president of the Screen Actors Guild prior to becoming the founding executive vice president of SAG-AFTRA. He resigned that position on August 21, 2013, when he announced he would run as a Republican candidate for California's 66th State Assembly district, representing Los Angeles County's South Bay region.〔Bond, Paul (August 21, 2013) "(No. 2 Officer of SAG-AFTRA Resigns to Run for State Assembly as a Republican; however he later dropped out of the race citing personal reasons. )" ''The Hollywood Reporter''〕 ==Early life and education== Ned Vaughn was raised in Huntsville, Alabama with his sister Anna by their parents, Helen and Ed Vaughn. Vaughn's father was a news anchor and reporter for Huntsville's CBS Television affiliate (WHNT-TV) before starting his career as a civilian public affairs officer for the U.S. Army's Space and Missile Defense Command, which included work on Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, popularly known as Star Wars. Ned's mother, Helen, is an active professional artist whose early works were described as “celebrations of the many aspects of womanhood” and focusing on “the psychological truth of being female in today's society.” At age 10, Vaughn performed his first acting role in a community theater production of the musical ''Oliver!'', staged in the Von Braun Center's 2000-seat concert hall. Vaughn continued acting as he attended Lee High School and performed in several productions while attending Birmingham-Southern College. It was there that Vaughn decided to pursue acting as a career. He drove to New York with just $600 and initially stayed with a family acquaintance, making the commute to New York City from Peekskill. While taking classes at HB Studio in Greenwich Village, Vaughn made ends meet by working as a doorman at New York's Wellington Hotel. Vaughn has described this as his favorite non-acting job. Standing in front of the hotel door in Midtown Manhattan, seeing people from all walks of life, Vaughn has said he got a crash course in human nature. This included getting his first taste of the law enforcement roles that would later figure in his acting career, when Vaughn helped stop pickpockets who were targeting hotels in the area. On multiple occasions, he and watchful co-workers stopped crimes in progress by figuratively wrestling the perpetrators out of the premises and onto the street. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ned Vaughn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
