Oldest Working Actors In Hollywood!

The oldest actors still working in Hollywood! From a man who played God to a cowboy heartthrob.
7. Alan Alda
This actor was born on January 28, 1936, making him eighty-four years old. His full name is Alphonso Joseph D’Abruzzo, and he’s originally from New York City. When he was a kid, he traveled with his parents throughout the United States because his father performed in burlesque theaters. Alda started acting in the 1950s in the improv comedy group called the Compass Players. He also performed on Broadway in The Owl and The Pussycat, for which he received a Tony Award nomination. Alda gained a lot of recognition when he was chosen to play Hawkeye Pierce in the television adaptation of MASH. He got twenty-one Emmy nominations and five wins for the role. Alda is also known for Everyone Says I Love You, The Four Seasons, and Crimes and Misdemeanors. Although this star was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2015, he’s still powering forward. He recently played Solomon Waltzer in The Good Fight and Dr. Arthur Amiot in Ray Donovan.
6. Donald Sutherland
From 1970’s MASH to The Hunger Games franchise, Donald Sutherland has been in the business for decades, and he isn’t stopping any time soon. He is eighty-four years old and was born on July 17, 1935, in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. You probably wouldn’t guess it now, but this star had a lot of health issues as a child. He suffered hepatitis, rheumatic fever, and polio, an infection that results in muscle weakness. Luckily, Sutherland overcame all of these medical problems and is still going strong today. Starting in the 1960s, he began getting insignificant roles in British television and movies. It wasn’t until he played Vernon L. Pinkley in The Dirty Dozen in 1967 that he gained significant recognition. The movie was MGM’s highest-grossing, as well as the fifth highest-grossing film of all that year. Sutherland went on to win two Golden Globes for the 1995 made-for-TV movie Citizen X and the 2002 made-for-TV film Path to War. You probably know of at least one of Sutherland’s children as well - Kiefer, who is most widely known for the television action show 24. Donald has four other kids, including Rachel, Kiefer’s twin. This actor is still working in movies like 2019’s American Hangman.

Mel Brooks was born in 1926, and he's still working in acting. He should be number 1.

[@samanthacarver4081]

I guess they don't consider "voice acting" to be acting...

[@EvilSpoofAuthor]

@@samanthacarver4081 Yeah probably, but I think they should. It's still working and it's still acting so he's technically a working actor.

We all know that Sean Connery retired before his death that happened not long ago. This very talented Scottish actor deserves all our recognition and should be in here. I discovered him when he wasn't James Bond yet on the amazing film "The Hill",over fifty years ago in my Montevideo City (Uruguay-South America)). Back then we truly believed that his first name was pronounced"Seen". After 33 years in Canada still don't understand why his name is pronounced "Shon",but then again : you live and learn...........Greetings from Toronto.

I didn't pay ful attention, but can that be because when on the year (date) they were born?

Christopher Plummer also played a Klingon! You forgot David McCallum who is not only a tv actor but also starred in some famous movies and plays. He is also a musician and narrator of books. He is 87 now-born 9/19/33-and just finished more than 15 seasons of "NCIS". Shame on you for not mentioning him.

[@sharonmiller6436]

What I do not understand is that you have left out, in most cases, the well known movies or TV shows that each of these actors appeared in . . . for examples . . Clint Eastwood - the Dirty Harry movies, Christopher Plummer was for many years an acclaimed Shakespearean actor, Robert Redford - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Michael Caine - the Italian Job (1969), Alan Alda - Same Time Next Year, Donald Sutherland - Mash (the movie as opposed to the series), James Earl Jones - the Hunt for Red October and the lists of all their movies is totally amazing when you look them up!
