James Spader | 1960
Once dubbed by Rolling Stones magazine as “the strangest man on TV”, James Todd Spader has definitely lived up to his name. He had portrayed several eccentric roles, one of which was that of attorney Alan Shore in The Practice. He is currently a part of the NBC crime series The Blacklist, where he plays the FBI informant Red Reddington.
Spade’s first major film was Endless Love back in 1981, while his first starring role was in Tuff Turf. The ’80s saw him rise to stardom, and in 1989, he even received the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The award is a testament to his skills. One of the best endorsements is perhaps being able to play the villainous robot, Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron in 2015. Spader has had two women in his life, first was his wife Victoria Kheel, and now, Leslie Stefanson.
