John Tenney (1961-) started his film career in the late'80s or early '90s, one of his early role being that od Sheriff Johnny Behan in Tombstone. He's gone on to star in several TV shows, among them The Division, The Closer. and Major Crimes.

Benjamin Bratt (1963-) also came up in the early '90s, appearing in the mini-series Texas, based on the James Michener novel, and then as Det. Rey Curtis on Law & Order from 1995-1999. He's also been in movies such as A Clear and Present Danger, Miss Congeniality, The Great Raid, and Traffic. Lately he's starred in the TV shows The Cleaner and Private Practice.

For me, John Tenney came to my attention as the husband (former) of Terri Hatcher and is the father of her daughter.


Benjamin Bratt played against type in the Sylvester Stallone action movie with comedy, Demolition Man, as Sandra Bullock's partner.
