Ken Steadman

Biography

Ken Steadman (June 26, 1969 – September 20, 1996) was an American film and television actor. He tragically died in an accident while filming "Desert Storm (S03E06)," an episode of the Fox television series Sliders (1995), in the desert near Victorville. On September 20, 1996, while transporting a dune buggy between scenes, the vehicle overturned, crushing him instantly. His passenger, Christopher Maleki, was seriously injured. Born in Aberdeen, Washington, Ken had a happy childhood despite his parents' divorce. He maintained strong relationships with both his natural parents and their remarried spouses, giving him a solid foundation. Though school was challenging, he maintained a B average and excelled in skiing, football, and track, still holding his high school's pole vault record. He was an active and determined teenager. Growing up, his stepfather managed a saltwater park, fostering Ken's love for the outdoors and the Orcas that frequented the area. His determination was remarkable; at 15, he declared his goal of becoming an astronaut and earning his pilot's license. Despite his parents' initial skepticism about his ability to fund it, Ken, at 16, had his pilot's license, having paid for 90% of it himself through sacrifice and hard work. After a year in the Navy ROTC program at college, Ken took a break and moved to Bullhead City, Nevada, to work in a casino and spend time with his father. Here, he met people from the entertainment industry, sparking his desire to become an actor. Despite having no prior acting experience, drama involvement, or even speech classes, he set his sights on Hollywood. His family expected him to fail and return to college, but Ken was resolute. He visited home only to share his experiences in the demanding world of acting. He worked various jobs—waiter, bouncer, carpenter—to fund acting lessons, headshots, and representation. He even learned to ride horses and performed as a jouster. A small-town kid, Ken faced overwhelming odds, but his unwavering determination propelled him through the initial years. He refused to give up, gradually honing his skills, building confidence, and working tirelessly on his craft. He possessed a special spark that carried him through difficult times. In Hollywood, Ken built a new "family" of friends, managers, actors, a girlfriend, and a cat named Perry. He found managers, Susan, Daniel, and Adam, who believed in his talent. He began securing guest star appearances on TV series, and his managers noted he "had broken away from the pack and was ready for the big time." His promising career was tragically cut short on September 20, 1996. His death, a preventable accident, ended a life that profoundly impacted many.

T. K. Shanmugam

Biography

T. K. Shanmugam (1912 – 1973; also known as "Avvai" T. K. Shanmugam) was a Tamil theatre and film artist. He acquired the prefix "Avvai" after portraying saint-poet Avvaiyar in a play.[1] Kamal Haasan refers to him as his Guru and says this is where he learned acting. When Kamal Hassan starred as a woman, Avvai Shanmugi, in the Tamil adaptation of Hollywood blockbuster Mrs. Doubtfire, it was the actor's tribute to his teacher and thespian. “He curved his lower lip inwardly to give a realistic image of an old woman without teeth. He even removed two of his teeth for the role,” says T.K.S. Kalaivanan, his son. “He had pain in his jaws for the rest of his life and the curved posture, holding a walking stick gave him constant back pain.” His self-effacing autobiography Yenathu Nataka Vaazhkai , gives a panoramic view of the theatre from the beginning of the 20th century, the personalities involved in it, the plight of boys who were inducted into these troupes by their parent out of poverty, the social status of the actors and importantly the uncertain financial condition. Actors such as N. S. Krishnan,K. R. Ramasamy , S. S. Rajendran, M. N. Rajam, director A. P. Nagarajan and one of the outstanding Carnatic vocalists T. M. Thiagarajan were some names associated with the TKS Brothers troupe. Later, it became T.K.S. Sabha and Mr. Kamal Hassan joined the troupe on the recommendation of film producer A. V. Meiyappan. The TKS Brothers had close association with both the Communist and Dravidian movements. They used many of the songs of late communist leader Jeevanandam in their plays and it was Shanmugam who wrote a foreword for Annadurai's first novel, Kumasthavin Magal. As early as in 1943, T.K. Shanmugam described Annadurai as a future leader of the Tamils. In his autobiography, he had wondered how it occurred to him to call him so. Cho Ramaswamy appreciated that his contributions to tamil stage are unparalleled.
