Lots of actors born on the Day of the Hog, including 70s supernova Farrah Fawcett, Ol' Yellow Eyes Brent Spiner, Total Gym hawker Christie Brinkley, and TV's "Pretender" Michael T. Weiss.
"The Pretender" was one of my favorites. Identified as a genius, young Jarod was kidnapped from his parents and raised at the Centre, a sinister think tank. Somewhat based in fact, Jarod had the ability to assume any identity or line of work simply by reading up on it. The series followed Jarod as he broke out of the Centre on a quest to rediscover his own identity, pursued chiefly by his childhood friend Miss Parker (Andrea Parker in her most-recognized role to date).
After its network run, the show was syndicated, then spun off into two very good TNT movies.
