Television Career

Brolin was relocated to Universal Studios in the late 1960s after getting fired by 20th Century Fox. On the popular ABC medical drama “Marcus Welby, M.D.”, he was paired up there with veteran actor Robert Young.

As the youthful and gifted assistant physician Dr. Steven Kiley, Brolin won the 1970 Emmy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. Later, he was nominated for three additional Emmys in 1971, 1972, and 1973. He also won Golden Globe Awards in 1971 and 1973 for his acting.

Additionally, during this time, Brolin had appearances on the ABC legal drama “Owen Marshall, Counsellor at Law” and in the TV movie “Trapped.” In 1983, he made a comeback as a leading man when he was chosen to play the male lead in Aaron Spelling’s primetime serial opera “Hotel.” Brolin received two Golden Globe nods for his portrayal of Peter McDermott, the hotel manager.

Brolin was in the 1990s television series “Extreme” on ABC and “Angel Falls” on CBS, neither of which was a commercial success. Additionally, he had cameo appearances in several made-for-television films, such as “And the Sea Will Tell,” “Parallel Lives,” and “Visions of Murder”.

After appearing in two episodes of “Roseanne,” Brolin went on to find new success with the adventure series “Pensacola: Wings of Gold,” which he also directed, executive produced, and starred in.

Film Career

After playing supporting roles in 1960s films like “Dear Brigitte,” “Fantastic Voyage,” and “Von Ryan’s Express,” as well as a larger part in the underappreciated “The Cape Town Affair,” Brolin started hitting main roles in films in the 1970s.

In the 1972 film “Skyjacked,” featuring Charlton Heston, and the 1973 science fiction thriller “Westworld,” starring Yul Brynner, he made his debut as a leading man.

By the middle of the 1970s, Brolin had established himself as a reliable leading man, appearing in films like “Gable and Lombard,” “The Car,” “Capricorn One,” and the spooky “Amityville Horror.” He starred in the 1980s action criminal drama “Night of the Juggler” and the heist movie “High Risk,” and he also made a brief cameo in “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.”

After a hiatus in the 1990s, Brolin made a comeback to the big screen in a number of supporting roles in the 2000s and 2010s.
