Adrian Paul is a talent who has been on the genre circuit for much of his career, and Tracker gave him one more vehicle in which to shine. (FYI: the series premiered on this day in 2001.) The actor starred as the guard of an alien prison that is somehow transported to Earth as energy; thus he creates a human body so that he can continue his task of 'tracking' down the dangerous fugitives and seeing them brought to justice. As happens with far too many SciFi-themed projects, it lasted only a single season.
Robert Allan Clothier's first foray into the realm of Science Fiction was as an illustrator in the 1950's when he created cover and interior artwork for magazines such as New Worlds and Nebula Science Fiction. However, he had also been bitten by the acting bug, and genre fans may remember him from roles late in his life on The Ray Bradbury Theater, The X-Files, The Outer Limits, Poltergeist: The Legacy, and Da Vinci's Inquest. Though he's no longer with us, Clothier was born on this day in 1921. [Source: IMDB.com]
Veteran character actor Leonard Rossiter played a role in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968); you can see him seated above with the drink before him. Though he's no longer with us, Rossiter was born on this day in 1926. [Source: IMDB.com]
It would seem that author Ursula K. Le Guin has been writing fantasy and science fiction for just about as long as she's been able to put words together. At present, she's been the recipient of five Locus Awards (for Best Novels), four Nebula Awards, two Hugo Awards, and one World Fantasy Award. She's also been listed as a 'Writers & Artists Living Legend' by the U.S. Library of Congress for her ongoing contributions to American culture. Le Guin was born on this day in 1929.

The late Georgia Brown brought a welcome sense of maternal mirth to the role of 'Helena Rozhenko,' the Earth-adoptive mother of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Worf. Though she's no longer with us, Brown was born on this day in 1933. [Source: IMDB.com]
The late Julie Parrish leaves behind a resume just shy of fifty different screen credits. Genre fans might know her best from appearances aboard Star Trek, Captain Nice, and The Next Step Beyond. Though she's no longer with us, Parrish was born on this day in 1940. [Source: IMDB.com]
Actor Everett McGill has a pretty diverse resume. I know him best -- as do most SciFi fans -- from such projects as Dune, Twin Peaks, and Quest for Fire. However, he's been very quiet as of late. With Twin Peaks coming back on Showtime, perhaps he's due for a comeback? McGill was born on this day in 1945. [Source: IMDB.com]
If you missed NBC's Journeyman (and based upon its low ratings most of you did), then you missed one of the more compelling SciFi dramas of the 2000's forward. Tom Everett played a key role aboard the time travel yarn, but he's also had terrific roles in such properties as Max Headroom, Quantum Leap, Space: Above and Beyond, Tremors 3, FlashForward, and much, much more. Everett was born on this day in 1948. [Source: IMDB.com]
Now, there's what a real-life Disney princess should look like! Carrie Fisher blazed her way across the silver screen in the Original Star Wars Trilogy and, in doing so, earned a special place in every fanboy's heart. Though she's no longer with us, Fisher was born on this day back in 1956. [Source: IMDB.com]
That's the face of a man who's seen Godzilla, clearly some of the best fun I've had in the multiplexes in 2014. Ken Watanabe has become a bit of a critical darling since he appeared alongside Scientology's Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai in 2003, and I, for one, thought he brought a level of gravitas required to 2014's best monster movie. Plus, he made a return and a grand departure from the monster franchise aboard Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (2019). Watanabe was born on this day in 1959. [Source: IMDB.com]
Award-winning actress Melora Walters doesn't have much genre work in her resume, but she has found work in such properties as Twice Upon A Time (1998), The Butterfly Effect (2004), and Venom (2018). Walters was born on this day in 1960. [Source: IMDB.com]
Granted, the shapely Leslee Bremmer may not have a lot of SciFi or Fantasy credentials to ogle, but she's dreamy enough to deserve a mention for an uncredited small role in The Return Of The Living Dead (1985) from Orion Pictures. God bless her assets! Bremmer was born on this day in 1965. [Source: IMDB.com]
Nathan Anderson is another one of those character actors who has had the good fortune to book appearances in a handful of genre properties. His work has shown up in Star Trek: Voyager, Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek: Enterprise, and the telefilm Alien Siege. Anderson was born on this day in 1969. [Source: IMDB.com]

Critical favorite Andrew Scott hasn't done a wealth of work in the realms of Science Fiction and Fantasy, but he definitely has notched a few credits that has drawn some attention. Fans might know him from The Quatermass Experiment (2005), Victor Frankenstein (2015), Alice Through The Looking Glass (2016), and His Dark Materials. Scott was born on this day in 1976. [Source: IMDB.com]
David Clayton Rogers had plenty to be angry about involving some rather personal developments with Artificial Intelligence at the core of Uncanny (2015). Rogers was born on this day in 1977. [Source: IMDB.com]
Sorry, folks, but I've never seen a single episode of Kyle XY. I've been told it's some pretty interesting SciFi, though. Clone stuff, as I've been told. Whatever the case, its star -- the young Matt Dallas -- celebrates his birthday today. Dallas was born on this day in 1982. [Source: IMDB.com]
If you like your Apocalypse films as much as I do, then you would do well to pick up The Colony (2013). No, it's no perfect -- rarely does that happen in SciFi -- but it's still a pretty compelling look at the end of times. It stars Laurence Fishburne, Bill Paxton, and this dreamy little blonde who goes by the name of Charlotte Sullivan. Sullivan was born on this day in 1983. [Source: IMDB.com]
Aaron Tveit played a key role aboard CBS's short-lived political SciFi/Satire, BrainDead, for the 2016 TV season. Tveit was born on this day in 1983. [Source: IMDB.com]

The young and vivacious Natalie Distler joined Dean Cain and Malcolm McDowell in witnessing the end of time and space as we know it in 2015's tepid The Black Hole (not to be confused with the Walt Disney flick of the same name). Distler was born on this day in 1989. [Source: IMDB.com]

Well, there you go, kids. The image may not mean much to you, so go and ask your parents because THAT's what sci-fi looked like before Star Wars came along and changed the face of it. Damnation Alley was released on this day back in 1977, and it featured George Peppard (who'd later go on to The A-Team fame on TV) and Jan Michael Vincent (who'd later go on to Airwolf fame on TV) fighting giant scorpions after the nuclear apocalypse. Lucky for us, it ain't based on a true story. The wonderfully cheesy flick is available on video if you're interested.
