Lloyd Vernet Bridges, Jr. - nascido em San Leandro (Califórnia), a 15 de Janeiro de 1913, e falecido em Los Angeles (Califórnia), a 10 de Março de 1998 - foi um actor norte-americano, que estrelou inúmeras séries de televisão e apareceu em mais de 150 filmes. Bridges é mais conhecido pelo personagem Mike Nelson na série de televisão "Sea Hunt" (1958). É pai dos também actores Beau Bridges e Jeff Bridges.
Biografia
Lloyd Bridges era filho de Lloyd Vernet Bridges, Sr. e de Harriet Evelyn Bridges. Lloyd foi um astro do atletismo na sua adolescência. Os seus pais eram oriundos do Kansas. Bridges graduou-se na Petaluma High School em 1931. Estudou artes dramáticas na UCLA, onde era membro da fraternidade Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
Formado em arte dramática, apareceu pela primeira vez no cinema no começo dos anos 40, com a sua participação em grupos teatrais radicais e acabou entrando para a lista negra do FBI na era do Macartismo.
Carreira
Bridges estreou-se na Broadway em 1936, como figurante em "Frenshman Love", e tornou-se conhecido entre os brasileiros pela sua participação no seriado de TV "Aventura Submarina", exibido pela extinta TV Tupi.
Produzido no fim da década de 1950 e início da seguinte, foram rodados 156 episódios, conquistando uma audiência esmagadora nos Estados Unidos. Lloyd Bridges foi um dos protagonistas do clássico "High Noon" ("O Comboio apitou três vezes") de 1952.
Apareceu em cerca de vinte filmes B da Columbia Pictures. Alto, loiro e de feições rudes, era o ideal para westerns e filmes de acção, tendo abandonado o estúdio que o contratara em 1945.
Em 1980, destacou-se na comédia cinematográfica "Airplane!" ("Aeroplano") e "Hot Shots" ("Ases pelos Ares" de 1991.
No início da década de 1950, Bridges testemunhou perante o Comité de Actividades Anti-americanas, confirmando a sua filiação ao Partido Comunista.
Possui uma estrela no Passeio da Fama localizada em 7065 Hollywood Boulevard.
Vida pessoal
Bridges foi casado com Dorothy Simpson, com quem teve quatro filhos: Beau Bridges, Jeff Bridges, Lucinda Bridges e Garrett Bridges, falecido de síndrome de morte súbita infantil a 3 de Agosto de 1948. O actor Jordan Bridges é seu neto.
Morte
Bridges faleceu aos 85 anos, a 10 de Março de 1998. Foi cremado e as suas cinzas foram dispersas pela sua família.
Homenagens
O episódio ("The Burning") da última temporada de "Seinfeld" (1998) foi dedicado à sua memória. Bridges havia interpretado Izzy Mandelbaum nos episódios "The English Patient" em 1997 e "The Blood" em 1998.
O seu último filme, "Jane Austen's Mafia!", uma sátira à saga "O Padrinho" ("The Godfather") foi lançado em sua homenagem no mesmo ano da sua morte.
