Gary Busey is an American actor best known for his roles in Point Break and The Buddy Holly Story, and his reputation for bizarre behaviour.
After growing up in Oklahoma, he attended Kansas State University on a football scholarship, but his dreams of pursuing a career in professional sports were shattered after injuring his knee. He then moved to Hollywood to pursue a music career, but acting beckoned.
After securing several small roles in both film and television during the 1970s, he made his film debut in Angels Hard As They Come in 1971. Following this he starred as the lead in The Buddy Holly Story, which led to him winning an Academy Award nomination.
Later in Gary’s acting career, he took on more sinister roles in the action thrillers Lethal Weapon (1987), Predator 2 (1990), and of course Point Break (1991), with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. He also played a cameo role as himself in the comedy Entourage.
Gary had a near-fatal motorcycle accident in 1989 after he rode without a helmet. This resulted in the enactment of stricter helmet laws in the State of California.
The accident split his skull open and he was taken to hospital for immediate surgery. Gary claims that his brain got altered – it was a wake-up call to get his life in order and to appreciate it. He recovered two and a half months earlier than predicted, and says his faith was the reason.
Gary has three children – son Jake with his first wife Judy, daughter Alectra with Tracy Hutchinson and son Luke with his wife Steffanie Sampson. He has black belts in budo-jujitsu, capoeira, hapkido, and kendo.

I hate to play devils advocate, but couldn’t we all dredge up the past of Helen prostitute Wood, and condemn her – yet when we did we were shot down because apparently she was ‘being real’ and ‘saying it how it is – to peoples faces’ – so we were told to judge her on her actions in the house………not her previous demonic actions…or her criminal history.
So it seems the public will have their say.
As Gary would say Hooonk Hoooonk 😀
@Robert doyle
All the best to ya Robert. The final was great and my TV intact lol :up: 😀
@Donna Mc

A Celeb never ever . scumbag.
Disappointed
Well done British public, now kids and adults around the world will think ahh to get people to like me act like Gary… Because he won CBB … You’re all mad .. Why the hell would he deserve to win he was rude, manipulative, pushed people out the way but no everyone else got the blame except from Gary. Pathetic result… And this because he is seventy thing is rubbish.. Lionel Blair was 82? He was evicted third. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for voting for this rude and vulgar man….
