A reader requested this one, he was the star of a TV series called Then Came Bronson in 1969 (when I was two).
He’s had an interesting life. He once turned down a pitching job in the baseball minors because he was making more money upholstering caskets (this may have happened prior to Then Came Bronson) and tried to qualify for the 1 mile run in the 1972 olympics. He appeared in a few other movies in the 70’s which did not do much for his career (see the Leanard Maltin bio at IMDB). Most recently he played a sherrif in Quentin Tarrantino’s “Kill Bill” He has had a parallel career in music which he is still active in fairly recently, with the 1998 release of Coolin’ Soup, at the age of 58.

I remember “Then came Bronson” he rode his bike over that that long high black light coloured paisley patterned bridge on the opening credits and Hendrix’s version of “All along the Watchtower” was a hit on the radio at the time, Hot fun in the Summertime by Sly and the family Stone, Spinning wheel by Blood Sweat and more blood. What an era. I’m very surprised I remember……..Qwley’s Clear lights , hang on, the moon’s trying to kill us….
all the above happened in the mid 90’s
Michael came into my place of work in San Andreas,Cal. I introduced myself to him. Several months later months he came back into store and said HI to me. So nice!

One of the young guys here at work said the name…Bronson. He meant Charles Bronson and I told him about the other … Bronson…. that I used to watch when I was a kid. So we Utubed it and I watched a few scenes. Then I just got on Ebay and bought the 26 season set!
I worked on Michael’s Porsche way back in 1977 in Santa Cruz, CA. and have always admired the Man! it was pretty cool to sit and chat with him.

I believe that I met him in Berrien Springs,Michigan back in early 1972. If it wasn’t him it could have been his twin brother if he had one.
Words cannot express the years (since 1973?) of lifting up prayers for Michael. It started when I met him once at the Venture County Fair grounds at dog show. My friend wanted me to take a picture with him. God called him to touch people in a way very few people are able. The prayers continue. Blessing to you Michael.
Being a fan of Then Came Bronson actor Michael is one of my favorite actors. There are few actors of his caliber. I put him up there with the late James Dean, both are in a class all by themselves.
Michael Parks was a guest at the Texas Frightmare Weekend 2014 last Saturday autographing photos and taking photos with fans. We met him and I took a photo with him and my youngest son who is a very high functioning autistic 15 year old. Mr . Parks was so kind and really nice. Hope he attends again next year.
I have only become aware of Mr. Parks’ earlier career after having been totally awed by his performances in Tarantino’s and Smith’s (Kevin) movies. The praises given the late Seymour Philip Hoffman are justified. Michael Parks, IMO, occupies the same heights and deserves the utmost respect of anyone who loves films and great acting. An actor’s actor, Mr. Parks is one of the greats of film and television!
Have loved Michael Parks since I first saw him in Wild Seed, that lovely romantic movie in 1965. I’ve probably seen that movie over 100 times. Since then I have followed his career intensely and my wish is to meet him or contact him just to tell him that I think he’s amazingly talented, handsome and sexy. I am a devoted fan! I am now 61 years old and it’s definitely on my bucket list to meet the unique and awesome Michael Parks.
