ADRIAN PASDAR
"Close your mind, miss the fun."
                                ~Declan Dunn
  Adrian K. Pasdar was born in Pittsfield, MA on April 30, 1965 to parents Homayoon (a cardiac surgeon) and Rosemarie (a nurse and writer).  He grew up in Pennsylvania and won a football scholarship to the Unniversity of Central Florida.  Unfortunately, Adrian was badly injured in a car accident his Freshman year.  The accident left his face scarred and kept him bound to a wheel chair for several months.  Doctors were unsure if Adrian would ever walk again, but thankfully through physical therapy and his own determination he regained his mobility.
   Shortly afterward, a career in athletics now out of the question, Adrian became an intern with a local theater group back in Pennsylvania, building sets and assisting with the sound and lighting.  At age 19 Adrian landed his first acting role in Top Gun and has appeared in numerous movies in the past 14 years, including Streets of Gold, Carlito's Way and Near Dark.  He also starred in the short lived FOX series "Profit" which has become a cult classic. 
   The 36-year-old actor married  Natalie Maines (the lead singer of The Dixie Chicks) on June 24, 2000 in Las Vegas.  The couple has one son, born March 15th, 2001.
