When Vernon Davis played football, he'd stay after practice to catch hundreds of extra passes off the JUGS machine. He'd go home at night and catch more passes from a machine shooting tennis balls. The consistency and repetition led to a long career as an NFL tight end, with the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos and Washington Commanders. It's the same approach the former Super Bowl champion and two-time pro bowler is taking with acting. Vernon - who lists Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington and Liam Neeson as acting role models - has set a goal of appearing in 400 films, and is well on his way toward that ambitious objective. Since announcing his retirement from football during a Super Bowl commercial in 2020, Vernon has thrown himself deep into every role and project he receives. To date, he has filmed more than 30 projects, including movies with the likes of Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, Cole Hauser, Luke Wilson, Frank Grillo, Thomas Mann and Rosa Salazar, among others. On the other side of the camera, Vernon has founded two production companies - Reel 85 and Between the Linez Productions.
Familiar to many as the frustrated cop, businessman or landlord in countless two-reel comedies by The Three Stooges, Vernon Dent got his start in show business as a member of a singing troupe traveling in Southern California in the early 1920s. He was befriended by comedian Hank Mann, a member of the famed Keystone Kops. Mann thought that Dent was good comic material and gave him a supporting part in a series of two-reel comedies he was making. In the early 1920s Dent was good enough to be given his own series of comedy shorts by Pathe. After this series was over, he freelanced and worked for such top comics as Larry Semon. He found his real niche when he was hired by Mack Sennett, and spent most of the rest of the 1920s at that studio. For such a large man (5'9" and 250 pounds) Dent was surprisingly graceful, and Sennett was enthused to discover that he was a natural at physical comedy, able to do a pratfall as well as or better than Sennett's top comics. Dent really came into his own in the series of comedies that Harry Langdon made for Sennett, which rocketed Langdon to stardom and also brought recognition to Dent. When Langdon left Sennett, Dent stayed and supported such Sennett comics as Billy Bevan and Ralph Graves. Dent and Langdon were reunited in a series of shorts for Educational Pictures in the early 1930s, and his value in the series was such that Langdon insisted Dent always receive second billing after him. Dent joined Columbia in 1935, where he achieved his greatest success, and stayed there until 1953. He worked especially well with Shemp Howard of The Three Stooges, and the two remained lifelong friends. Shortly after retiring in the mid-'50s, Dent went blind, a result of his lifelong battle against diabetes. Although there were rumors that he died because he was a Christian Scientist and refused to take insulin, in an interview several years ago Dent's wife stated that he was not a Christian Scientist, and died from a sudden, massive heart attack.
Once called "the patron saint of the acting profession" by Rupert Everett, Franco-British thespian Vernon Dobtcheff was born to a family of Russian extraction Nîmes and reared at Ascham Preparatory School in Eastbourne, Sussex, where he was bitten by the acting bug and won the school's Acting Cup. He became a staple of British television dramas in the 1960s, including a historic episode of Doctor Who (2005) where he became the first actor to ever utter the phrase "Time Lord" in the show's canon. Often cast as clergymen, bureaucrats, and other authority figures; Dobtcheff has appeared in many high-profile films and television programmes throughout the following decades, starring opposite the likes of Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Tom Courtenay, Julie Andrews, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael Caine, Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Meryl Streep, John Gielgud, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Jeremy Irons, and Ethan Hawke. He's equally at home on the theatrical stage, or in projects made in his native France.
