1921 Nelson Riddle - Orchestra leader (Cross Country Suite, Lisbon Antigua) He was also a music arranger for Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. He also wrote the theme for the 1966 Batman TV series


One of the best TV theme songs of all. Very simple but also very memorable.







1926 Andy Griffith - Actor (The Andy Griffith Show, Matlock, A Face in the Crowd, No Time for Sergeants, From Here to Eternity)

I have seen and liked most of the things he did but I have to say I wasn't a huge Matlock fan.








1947 Jonathan Pryce - Welsh actor (Jumpin' Jack Flash, Brazil, The Ploughman's Lunch, Haunted Honeymoon, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Man From the Pru, Deadly Advice, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Age of Innocence, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Clone, Leatherheads)

I;ve been a fan of his going all the way back to Something Wicked This Way Comes.
