Detective Abbott
Tom appeared in two pictures for director John Carpenter: "The Fog" and "Escape from New York." He made for a touchingly flawed hero as Dr. Daniel Challis in the unjustly maligned "Halloween III: Season of the Witch." Tom gave a dead on the money terrific performance as weary, cynical and suicidal Detective Ray Cameron in the delightful "Night of the Creeps." He was once again excellent as the similarly burnt-out Lt. Frank McCrae in the fine "Maniac Cop" and impressive as guilt-ridden heroin smuggler Michael Hunsaker in the exciting blockbuster "Lethal Weapon." Among the TV shows Tom has done guest spots on are "Oz," "Xena: Warrior Princess," "Walker: Texas Ranger," "The Equalizer," "Spenser: For Hire," "The Fall Guy," "Lou Grant," "Baretta," and "M.A.S.H." Outside of his film and TV work, Atkins has had a long and distinguished stage career. He has acted on Broadway in the plays "The Changing Room," "Keep It in the Family," and "The Unknown Soldier and His Wife." His Off-Broadway credits include "Vikings," "Long Days Journey Into Night," "Whistle in the Dark," and "Nobody Hears a Broken Drum." Tom frequently acts in plays held at the Pittsburgh Public Theater; he's garnered plenty of accolades for his outstanding portrayal of Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney in the acclaimed one-man show "The Chief."

Rugged, hirsutely handsome Corbin Bernsen blazed to TV stardom in 1986 on L.A. Law as opportunistic divorce lawyer Arnie Becker, whose blond and brash good looks, impish grin and aggressive courting style proved a wild sex magnet to not only the beautiful female clients desirous of his "services," but his own lovelorn secretary who frequently bailed him out of trouble. Bernsen invested the Becker character with a likable "bad boy" charm that made him a favorite among the tight ensemble for eight solid seasons. In the process he earned multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. He also proved the role was no flash-in-the-pan or dead-end stereotype, maintaining a steady career over the course of three decades now with no signs of let up. Moreover, his deep love for acting and intent devotion to his career recently impelled him to climb into the producer/director's chair.
