Joe Don Baker!

Joe Don Baker

  "It was embarrassing to confess to the doctor I'd lost a fight to a chicken, but I was back in his office the next day because I tried to rescue a frightened cat and her kittens only to have my arm seriously clawed. The doctor's advice was for me to keep away from animals."

-The Bakester, in a Calgary Sun article by Louis B. Hobson.

Real Name: I'm going to go with the obvious guess and say 'Joseph Donald', but I could be wrong. Maybe he's a pure Joe Don.

Birthday:February 12, 1936


Joe Don has been in numerous movies and television shows, often being typecast as a hard-hitting law enforcement offical. To paraphrase Andy C., as soon as you see Joe Don and know who he is, he pops up in movies all over the place. Did you know he was in:

"Tomorrow Never Dies" and "Goldeneye" as Jack Wade (1997, 1995)

Mars Attacks! (1996)

Outbreak (1995)

Congo (1995)

Reality Bites (1993)

The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)

Cape Fear (1991)

Fletch (1985)

Mitchell (1975)

and Cool Hand Luke (1967)?

Also, if you'd like an interesting introduction to the wonderful world of Joe Don, I highly recommend you rent "Mitchell". No, not the movie, but the classic Mystery Science Theatre 3000 episode. They make all of the clever remarks that you and I only wish we could. For a taste of MST3K, go to the official site for the show!
