This 1984 movie was based on a true story. He played a black man who was born free before slavery was abolished. His character was a carpenter and musician, named Solomon Northup. One day Solomon gets kidnapped, sold into slavery, and tries to get a hold of his family back home.

6. Dominic Keating

Answer: "Desmonds"

8. Patrick Stewart

"A Fall of Eagles" was a the first miniseries he appeared in that was more than one episode. This 1974 British miniseries about the collapse of the major European dynasties, the Romanovs, Hapsburgs, and Hohenzollerns. Patrick played Lenin.

9. Robert Picardo

Answer: "Doubletalk"

A short, 1975 film, in which a girl takes her boyfriend to meet her parents. There are very few existing copies of this movie. What makes this movie interesting is that, along with the normal dialouge, you hear the character's thoughts too, which are often different than what he or she said.

10. Jonathan Frakes

Answer: "The Doctors"

He played Tom Carroll from 1977 to 1978 in this long-lasting television series that ran from 1963 to 1982. This show had 5182 total episodes, and the first 5 seasons were in black and white.
