Dan Haggerty, best known as Grizzly Adams in the title role of the Sun Classic feature, “The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.” From this feature film evolved the NBC television series, and Dan became famous to millions of nature-loving movie-goers for his popular portrayal of John Grizzly Adams. Dan has proven to be a durable and versatile journeyman actor starring multiple films each year. Dan’s preference in movie-making is to do outdoor films designed to entertain the entire family, although his versatility as an actor can be seen in other feature films as a psychologist, a biker, or as in recent film, a detective.

“Grizzly Adams” was Haggerty’s first starring role in a film, followed by the title role of Jacob Fremont in Sun’s “The Adventures of Frontier Fremont.” Haggerty excels in animal pictures because of his natural ability handling all types of animals, enabling him to do scenes that other actors would find impossible.

 Haggerty, began acting as a Siberian Tiger trapper in “When the North Wind Blows” and has accumulated quite a list of screen credits including “Grassland,” “Wild Country,” “Tender Warrior,” “Easy Rider,” “King of the Mountain,” “Desperate Women,” “Terror Out of the Sky,” “The Other Side of the Mountain,” “The Chilling,” “ Spirit of the Eagle,” and “Ordinary Killer.”

Haggerty, a former animal trainer, stunt expert and animal handler for a “Tarzan” feature and the “Tarzan” TV series, directed white tigers, wolverines, eagles and wild boar in “When the North Wind Blows” and worked with bears, foxes and hawks in “My Side of the Mountain.”In “The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams,” one of Haggerty’s co-stars was a 500-pound grizzly bear named Ben. The true life Adams and his bear lived in the mid-1800’s and accompanied each other through the trials and adventures of the western mountain wilderness. Haggerty’s knowledge of the outdoors and the animals he works with on camera makes him a modern-day Grizzly Adams.

That, in turn, led to the film, “The Capture of Grizzly Adams” which stars Haggerty as the legendary mountain-man who risks his freedom to return to civilization and prevent authorities from sending his daughter {Sydney Penny} to an orphanage. The world premiere aired on NBC.

The muti-talented Haggerty also starred in the leading role of “Condominium,” which also stars Barbara Eden, Ralph Bellamy and Stewart Whitman.

 Currently Dan is the celebrity spokesman for Young Adventurers, Inc., an international nonprofit organization that builds character and vision in youth and young adults. And in 2003 Dan launched a “signature series” furniture line marketed worldwide. Dan has been the spokesperson for several corporations including Nestea, Ralston Purina, WheatChex and Del Monte Foods. Most of his appearances are for various charities, including orphanages, Angel Flight SE, the Special Olympics, Battered and Abused Children, and Dan Haggerty’s Celebrity Ski Fest, Say No To Drugs, held in Snow Valley near Los Angeles.
