description About
Bruce Boxleitner (born May 12, 1950) is an American actor and science fiction writer, best known for his roles in the television series *Scarecrow and Mrs. King* (1983–1987) and the *Tron* film series. He has had a long and varied career in television, film, and literature. Bruce Boxleitner was born in Elgin, Illinois. He developed an interest in acting at an early age and pursued it professionally after studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. After honing his craft on stage, he transitioned to television and film, where he began landing roles in the 1970s. Boxleitner's breakthrough came in the 1980s with the role of *Lee Stetson* (Scarecrow) in the popular TV series *Scarecrow and Mrs. King*, where he starred alongside Kate Jackson. The series was a hit, running for four seasons, and Boxleitner's portrayal of the charming and resourceful secret agent made him a household name. In addition to *Scarecrow and Mrs. King*, Boxleitner is widely known for his portrayal of *Alan Bradley/Tron* in the groundbreaking 1982 Disney film *Tron* and its 2010 sequel *Tron: Legacy*. The *Tron* franchise, which became a cult classic, showcased Boxleitner in a role that combined both the physical and digital worlds, a theme that would become iconic in science fiction. Throughout the years, Boxleitner continued to appear in a variety of roles in both television and film. He had notable appearances in shows like *Babylon 5* (1994–1998), where he played *John Sheridan*, the captain of a space station. The show was well-received by fans of science fiction and solidified his place in the genre. Boxleitner also starred in a number of TV movies and made guest appearances on series such as *The Gambler* and *Supergirl*. Boxleitner was married to actress *Kathryn Crane* from 1977 to 1982. He later married actress *Melissa Gilbert* in 1995, with whom he has two children. The couple divorced in 2011. Aside from acting, Boxleitner is an accomplished writer. He published his first science fiction novel, *Searcher*, in 2005 and has continued to write books, including novels in the *Tron* universe. Bruce Boxleitner is still alive as of the last update and continues to make occasional appearances in the entertainment industry, including voice work and acting roles.
