David James Elliott | 59

Canadian actor David James Elliott is best known for his role of Harmon Rabb Jr. in the television series JAG. He played this lead character from 1995 to 2005. When he was a high school student, he dropped out to focus on his band. After failing to reach fame and fortune, he decided to re-apply as a student and probably even thought about getting a degree. Eventually, he started an acting career. During his early days, Elliot wanted to use the stage name David Smith, but an actor had already been using it. Thus, he eventually settled on David James Elliott for the rest of his career.

Elliott appeared in the film Police Academy 3: Back in Training in 1986. He eventually landed roles in Melrose Place and also appeared as a guest in television shows such as Seinfeld. He is currently on a break from acting, though there’s no telling if he’ll return or continue toward retirement instead.
