Unlike a lot of eras, Alan Marston came from an affluent family where his grandfather owned wool mills. Through hard work and dedication, he was able to get accepted to and to graduate from Harvard. He drifted into work as a publicist for a branch of RKO studios in New England. It wasn't until he appeared in a season of summer stock that Marston developed an interest in acting.
By the mid-1940s, Marston came to California to follow his dreams of becoming an actor. He turned down work as an illustrator for Walt Disney studios because he wanted to follow his dream of acting. Like a lot of people of the studio era, Marston's good looks earned him a contract through Fox studios and later Warner Brothers where they tried to put him in bit roles. He worked regularly for Fox but he never quite achieved the success that he had hoped for.
During the 1950s, Marston decided to work regularly as a stand-in and as an extra for studios. This allowed him to pay his bills while also allowing him to pursue another career as a freelance writer. Marston quickly developed a reputation as a person who could be depended on to do whatever the director asked of him. Marston was regularly used on location as a stand-in for Warner Brothers where he could be seen in such films as The Cool Ones. Marston was taken to Palm Springs during the filming of the tram scenes and could easily be spotted during some of the movie's biggest musical numbers.
In 1975, he decided to retire from films and concentrate on writing articles for various magazines. By 2003, he was able to achieve his dream of being able to publish a novel called "Yesterday's Dream." While Alan Marston passed away in 2010, he leaves behind a legacy of a hard-working actor who was able to gain a reputation for being very dependable among his coworkers.- Actress

He played the recurring character "Bradbury" in the 1982-88 ABC, and then FOX American sitcom "Nine to Five." He worked regularly in television and print advertising as a Prince Charles impersonator. He worked regularly in Los Angeles theatre. He co-wrote, produced, and starred in the stage musical "Who Killed Mrs. Bitzer;" and the stage plays "The Grand Finale" and "Angel's Delight." He had featured roles in the films "The Morgue" (2008), "Mad Cowgirl" (2006), "Until the Night" (2004), and "Red Nights" (1988).
Raye died on April 14, 2010, in Los Angeles, from complications of pneumonia.
Raye was best known in the Los Angeles area for his long-running cable access spoof talk show, "Tea with Michael Raye." Raye was host, writer, and producer. The show first aired in 1985, and has been produced sporadically ever since. More than sixty episodes have been produced. The latest installment had been scheduled to start production the week following his death.
In the show, Raye plays a resident of Torrance who hosts a television talk show from his living room. He interviews various authors, publicists, neighbors, and other guests; who are in reality actors promoting fictitious books and causes. The humor ranges from tongue-in-cheek to broad slapstick, and Raye coaxed celebrity friends like Sally Struthers and Kathleen Freeman to make occasional guest appearances.
The show was the inspiration for the 1990-1991 American sitcom "My Talk Show," which starred Cynthia Stevenson. Producers of My Talk Show reportedly approached Raye to take "Tea with Michael Raye" national, before deciding to go with a female host instead, in a slightly retooled version.
Raye was a member of Screen Actors Guild (SAG), American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), and Actors Equity Association (AEA or EQUITY), and a co-founder of Feed the Minds, Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to helping the homeless and to educating the public about mistreatment of animals around the world. - Lars Jacob Krogh was born on 26 September 1938 in Nes, Akershus, Norway.
