Corbin Bernsen
Best Actor in a Motion Picture

This sturdy, handsome blond actor/producer first gained wide recognition as the manipulative, egomaniacal divorce attorney in the popular NBC TV series L.A. Law. In fact Corbin actually considered a career in law while attending UCLA and play writing has always been a big interest to him. After taking a few roles in Hollywood pictures, Bernsen decided to move to New York to pursue writing as well as performing, paying for his acting lessons by building sundecks on rooftops and by doing some modeling.

After returning to California, Corbin Bernson was cast as as Arnie Becker in
L.A. Law, for which he received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Corbin has also been successful with starring roles in films such as Hello Again and Disorganized Crime. Other leading roles in feature films include Blake Edwards' S.O.B., King Kong, the Wolfgang Peterson thriller Shattered and Morgan Creek's Major League series. He also stars as the homicidal character in the The Dentist and its sequels. Corbin again plays a lawyer in the movie Judgement, this time he ends up putting God on trial.

"Always working, he remains visible with recurring roles in the hit series
JAG and the Emmy-winning The West Wing. Another television appearance which has maintained almost cult status was his role as “Q” on Star Trek. (Not that Q...the other Q.) He is also the host of Outdoor Adventure Networks’s Wild Survival adventure series.

Corbin is son of producer Harry Bernsen and soap actress star, Jeanne Cooper. He has been married to actress Amanda Pays since 1988. They have four sons and have recently moved back from Hampshire, England to make their home in California.

Astute businessman and marketing visionary, Corbin has just formed an internet company which allows movie buffs to take part in all aspects of the film-making process. Publicfilmworks, the first "true technology and entertainment convergence company.“

“What is 2 + 2?” (four)

But what it the whole world wanted it to be five, would that make it so? (no)
Even if everyone agreed on it? (no)
Isn’t that being a little narrow minded, a little prejudiced? Couldn’t you just compromise?

(no, because it’s the truth)

So...the Truth is absolute.
