William Katt

 

William is best known for playing the lead role in the classic 80’s TV series The Greatest American Hero! Running for 3 seasons, the show followed the exploits of mild-mannered teacher Ralph Hinkley, who receives a super powered suit from aliens during a fate encounter in the desert. Immediately losing the instructions, Ralph has to learn the suit’s powers through trial and error, often with comical results. You’ve also seen William in several well known movies as well, such as the supernatural chiller Carrie (1976), the cult dinosaur classic Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend (1985), and the popular horror/comedy House (1986)!
