John Savage was born John Youngs in Old Bethpage, Long Island, NY in 1950. He studied acting at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City; his breakthrough role in film came five years after his debut, in 1978's The Deer Hunter. A clean-cut, boyishly handsome blond, Savage impressed in such other acclaimed films as Hair, The Onion Field, and Inside Moves before his star inexplicably began fading in the 80's. In the 90's, he has enjoyed a resurgence of sorts with supporting roles in such films as The Thin Red Line, Message in a Bottle, and Summer of Sam, and is still a believable screen presence. He is the father of actress Jennifer Youngs ("Dr. Quinn, Medecine Woman"), and the older brother of actor Jim Youngs (Footloose). He spent 6 years (1988-1994) in South Africa, working with Nelson Mandela for the anti-Apartheid movement.
