Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. James B. Sikking (1934 - ) Actor Born: March 5, 1934, Los Angeles, CA Education: University of California, Santa Barbara, CA; University of Hawaii, HI; UCLA, Los Angeles, CA (theatre arts) Stern-featured veteran character actor who excels at playing tightly wound and officious fathers, professionals, and other would-be martinets. Sikking may have made his enduring impression on pop culture on Steven Bochco's Hill Street Blues (NBC, 1981-87), as Lieutenant Howard Hunter, a pipe-smoking, somewhat prissy but still gung ho S.W.A.T. team leader. Though initially depicted as fairly ridiculous, Howard became more sympathetic and complex as the series progressed. Sikking enjoyed another healthy run as the kindly but no-nonsense doctor dad of a 16-year-old surgeon on Bochco's Doogie Howser, M.D. (ABC, 1989-93). One of Sikking's earliest TV jobs was a stint on the ever popular daytime serial, General Hospital, as Dr. James Hobart, the troubled physician in the life of Audrey (Rachel Ames). He went on to amass over 200 TV guest shots on a wide array of series and became a familiar face in TV movies. Sikking's feature career goes back to the mid-1960s. A notable early credit had him playing a hit man in John Boorman's classic gangster film POINT BLANK (1967). Sikking was also a supercilious starship captain cut down to size in VIAJE A LAS ESTRELLAS 3 (1984). His other film work includes CHARRO! (1969), THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN RIDE! (1972), GENTE COMO UNO (1980), ATMOSFERA CERO (1981), AL MARGEN DEL PELIGRO (1990), and EL INFORME PELICANO (1993). In the latter blockbuster, he played the FBI director.
