MEET MICHAEL PARE

*Fact Or Fiction:  Boy-ish appearing Michael is the team bully who loves to push around his opponents just for the heck of it. Although he gets many penalties he's one of the best on the team.

Michael Pare. A strikingly handsome, raspy-voiced former model, Michael Pare began his career in TV, made a couple of unsuccessful high profile features and was relegated to direct-to-video genre fare. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Pare originally studied at the Culinary Institute of America and was working as a chef when a modeling agent spotted him and signed him to a contract. Pare was on the big screen in the leading role of an iconic 1950 srock star in "Eddie and the Cruisers" (1983). Pare returned to the small screen as co-star of"Houston Knights" (CBS, 1987-88) depicting a high-strung Chicago policeman who transfers to Houston and runs into conflict with his new partner Michael Beck. He has also appeared in the occasional made-for cable TV-movie including "Triplecross" (Showtime, 1995) or busted pilot, "The Colony" (ABC, 1996).
