TIM MATHESON | 72

Tim Matheson started his career when he was 13 years old, after he was chosen to be a part of a show called Window on Main Street. The movie National Lampoon’s Animal House, wouldn’t have been the same without Matheson’s role as Eric ‘Otter’ Stratton. Throughout the years, he has had a number of notable roles in the shows The West Wing, Hart of Dixie, and more recently, 6 Balloons. He has also provided voices for Jonny Quest, and Sinbad Jr., Space Ghost, and His Magic Belt. Roughly at the same timeline, Matheson was also appearing in shows such as The Virginian, The Quest, and Bonanza.

He directed Covert Affairs and the pilot episodes of The Good Guys. Despite his remaining active in the film industry until now, the American actor probably isn’t planning on retirement soon, but it is certainly wise to start making investments toward it as early as possible.
