- Thomas Glenn Langan spent most of his early life in his home town of Denver, Colorado. After completing his education he acted in local repertory companies before moving to New York. In 1942, he appeared on Broadway opposite Luise Rainer in J.M. Barrie's "Kiss for Cinderella". He garnered good critical reviews which led to a contract with 20th Century Fox the following year. With many top leading men of the era away on wartime duties, the tall, muscular Langan filled the gap in several A-grade productions.
Langan was usually seen in the role of the stalwart professional man, appearing to best advantage as a French professor in the romantic Margie (1946), a devoted young doctor protecting Gene Tierney from the evil machinations of Vincent Price in Dragonwyck (1946), and as one of the psychiatrists looking after demented patient Olivia de Havilland in the The Snake Pit (1948). Langan was also gainfully employed in escapist adventure, essaying a square-jawed privateer captain in Forever Amber (1947) and starring as Edmund Dantes -- descendant of the original protagonist of Alexandre Dumas -- in the updated and modernised, Treasure of Monte Cristo (1949).
In spite of these boosts to his career, his sturdy good looks and rugged appeal, Langan's popularity gradually waned by the early 1950s. He spent the next decade appearing on various television episodes and eventually achieved a kind of cult status as the irradiated 60-foot hero of Bert I. Gordon's often hilarious schlock sci-fi The Amazing Colossal Man (1957). After winding down his screen career in the 60s, Langan re-invented himself as a successful real estate salesman. He was married for forty years to the actress Adele Jergens. - Hans Strååt was born on 17 October 1917 in Stockholm, Sweden.

Bobby MacLeod was born on 8 May 1925 in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland, UK. He is known for Spindrift (1959), The White Heather Club (1958) and The Kilt Is My Delight (1956). He died on 26 January 1991 in Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland, UK.- Johnny van Doorn (Beekbergen, 12 november 1944 - Amsterdam, 26 january 1991) always attracted attention, if only as a member of the media-genetic beatnik scene. So director Peter Scholten could draw from a large stock of archive footage for his portrait of this poet and performer, who passed away in 1991. The subtitle 'From Johnny the Selfkicker to elderly gentleman with soul' describes the steady development in Van Doorn's career. He became known with his frenzied imitations of firework, notorious with his creation of Johnny the Selfkicker, and eventually famous as a unique personality, author and character in the quaint cabaret series Herenleed. The documentary reconstructs Johnny van Doorn's life mainly in his own words, reciting from his work and telling stories about his childhood and family in TV interviews. The stylistically divergent excerpts, in color and black-and-white, are easily held together by Van Doorn's unmistakable voice and apocalyptic diction.
