Biography for Donnelly Rhodes

Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Donnelly Rhodes trained to be a warden in the National Park Service in Manitoba and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as an airman-mechanic before finally settling into his long and successful career as an actor. Rhodes studied at the Manitoba Theatre Center and was a member of the first graduating class of the National Theatre School in Canada. After making his professional debut on stage as Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar Named Desire, he became a contract player for Universal Pictures in the U.S., landing film and television roles ranging from a gunslinger in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) to a country singer in The Hard Part Begins (1973) to various guest appearances in series such as "Mission: Impossible" (1966). Later, he was popular as the suave Phillip Chancellor Sr. on "The Young and the Restless" (1973), but left the show in 1976 to avoid devoting too much of his career to the one role. He continued to work steadily, taking roles in a wide variety of television and theatrical movies and making guest appearances on more than 100 television series. Major TV roles saw him range from dim-witted escaped con Dutch on "Soap" (1977) to veterinarian and family man Dr. Grant Roberts on the popular Canadian family series "Danger Bay" (1984). More recently, he has appeared in a number of TV movies as well as in guest spots on popular series such as "Sliders" (1995) and "The X Files" (1993). Rhodes' diverse interests include music and horses, but his real passion is boats. He has said that if he hadn't succeeded as an actor, he would have pursued a career as a naval architect.

Donelly Rhodes is a Canadian player, director and producer. He graduated from the National Theater School in 1964.

Donelly Rhodes was a Canadian actor born December 4, 1937 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was known to have played in many television and films series during his career, notably in "Sidestreet", "Soap", "The Renegades", "The Love Boat", "The Littlest Hobo" and "Da Vinci's Inquest ".

Rhodes began his career in the 1950s by playing in local plays in Winnipeg. He then moved to Toronto to continue his acting career, where he played in theatrical productions such as "Hamlet" and "Romeo and Juliet".

In the 1960s, Rhodes began to work in television and cinema, especially in series like "Sidreet" and "Soap". He also played in films such as "The Andromeda Strain" and "Butch and Sundance: The Early Days". In the 1980s, he was chosen to play the role of Doc Cottle in the series "Battlestar Galactica".

In addition to his acting career, Rhodes was also an accomplished artist. He studied art at the University of Manitoba and exhibited his paintings in art galleries across Canada.

Rhodes died on January 8, 2018 at the age of 80. His death was largely deplored by fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry. He leaves behind a remarkable heritage as a talented and versatile actor.
