Clancy Brown went to Northwestern University, where
he was in the theater program.
For Highlander, he said that he made a life-long
friend in Bob Anderson, the sword-master for that film as well as the
Star Wars trilogy. Clancy said if he hadn't been an actor he would
have been (in order) a fireman, an aristocrat, an
archaeologist/anthropologist, a scuba diver, and a circus acrobat.
EARTH 2 was shot in New Mexico. Clancy said the
single most significant influence in his pursuing acting was his next
door neighbor who turned him on to Shakespear at a very young age.
On August 20 2002, Clancy Brown was named chairman
of the board of Brown Publishing, a newspaper company owned by his
family. He has been a board member since 1987
