 Maxwell Caulfield mini-bio: Maxwell Caulfield is a Scottish-American actor, known for his roles in film, television and on stage. Caulfield was born in Glasgow, Scotland. His American stepfather, a Marine instructor at Parris Island, kicked him out of the house at the age of 15. At 18 he moved to the U.S., got his green card and found work as an exotic dancer,[citation needed] before making his acting debut off-Broadway in 1981 in the title role of Joe Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane as a drifter.
At 21, he married Juliet Mills (18 years his senior) in 1980, and became stepfather to her daughter, Melissa Miklenda (who now goes by Melissa Caulfield). His first major movie role was as the geek turned hunk, Michael Carrington, in the the musical film Grease 2 (1982) opposite Michelle Pfeiffer.
His other appearances include a role in the TV mini-series Judith Krantz's Till We Meet Again (1989), and in the movie Gettysburg (1993) as Colonel Strong Vincent. In addition to his role in Grease 2, he is perhaps best known for the role of Miles Colby on the short-lived Dynasty spin-off The Colbys. He also appeared in the first episode of Beverly Hills 90210 as an older man interested in Shannen Doherty until he finds out how young she is. He appeared in a humorous role as "Rex Manning", a spoiled has-been rock star, in the film Empire Records (1995).
He made his Broadway debut in J. B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls opposite Sian Phillips. He also played opposite Jessica Tandy in Salonika.
