Ed O’Bannon spent his childhood with younger brother Charles – also a professional basketball player with the Detroit Pistons – in his hometown, where he attended Artesia High School. There, he began playing basketball and excelled in it, as he finished his high school career averaging 24.6 points, and 9.7 rebounds per game, andmainly thanks to him, the team won the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Division II state championship. His skills led him to become named the most valuable player (MVP) at the Dapper Dan Classic, a McDonald’s High School All-American, and to a high school All-Star game. He had a plan to become a student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), but he enrolled at UCLA, from which he graduated in 2011 with a BA degree in History. During his college career, Ed won numerous accolades, both as a part of the team and as an individual. He became the NCAA champion in 1995 with UCLA basketball team, and was named the NCAA Final Four Most Outstanding Player the same year. Furthermore, Ed was named as the Pac-10 co-Player of the Year in 1995, and won the John R. Wooden Award. A year after he finished his education, his jersey no. 31 was retired by the UCLA, and he was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005.

After the successful season, Ed entered the 1995 NBA Draft, and was selected by the New Jersey Nets as the ninth overall pick. However, his performance was nowhere near his college one, as he really desired to be drafted by a team from west coast, and became home sick. He never managed to improve his performance, and spent only two seasons in the NBA, playing for the Nets, before being traded to the Dallas Mavericks, who then traded him to the Orlando Magic. He never got the chance to prove himself, as he was soon released by the club.
After his short stint in NBA, Ed tried to play basketball elsewhere, firstly finding a club in Italy, however, until the year 2004 and his retirement, he switched between eight different teams, in Italy, Spain, Greece, and Poland as well, but never stayed in one club for more than one season, and never earning more than $400,000 per season.

After his basketball career ended, Ed ventured in finding a ‘real’ job, and since 2009 he has been working as a car dealer in an auto dealership located in Las Vegas.
When it comes to speak about his personal life, Ed O’Bannon is married to Rosa, with whom he has three children. Their current residence is in Henderson, Nevada.

Paul was born into the Jewish family of personal injury attorney Richard, and Sulamita Heyman, actually a holocaust survivor. At 11 he started his first business attempt, selling celebrity and sports memorabilia. His educational background comes from Suny Purchase, New York, and Westchester Community College, where he was also employed as a radio station host and later a producer, and was famous/notorious even then for his bold, controversial and opinionated statements.While still a teenager, Heyman hustled his way as a photo journalist into a World Wide Wrestling Federation event at Madison Square Garden, and was paid by the company for several photos he had taken. This is considered as a first step into his later career, and which talent he expanded into the creation of a wrestling magazine “The Wrestling Times Magazine^“, and wrote for wrestling publications such as “Pro Wrestling Illustrated”.

Paul then successively worked for Capitol Wrestling Corporation, Championship Wrestling from Florida, Jim Crockett Promotions, World Championship Wrestling, and Extreme Championship Wrestling, in various guises including promoter, producer, trainer, and manager, and then with World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as a commentator and broadcaster from the turn of the century.

Tony Lee Dow was born on 13 April 1945 in Hollywood, California USA. He is a well-known person in the Hollywood movie industry because of his long-lasting involvement as a film producer, director and an actor.

So how rich is Tony Dow? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of it he has accumulated by working as a professional Hollywood actor for more than 50 years.

Tony Dow Net Worth $4 Million

Tony Dow’s interest in the film industry might have been related to the fact that his mother, Muriel Virginia Dow, was a stunt woman and a film double at the time Tony was a child and teenager. However, Tony undoubtedly had some acting talent which was proven when he managed to win the audition for a role in the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” in 1957, despite having no experience in acting at that time. This was the role that had perhaps the most influence in building a solid foundation to Tony Dow’s acting career, even though he received only one award – Young Artist Award in nomination of “Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award” in 1988, after working in the show for six years. It was also a solid start to his net worth.

In the next few years after “Leave It to Beaver”, Tony appeared in several episodes of other TV shows, such as the sitcom “My Three Sons” (in 1964), drama series “Mr. Novak” (between 1963 and 1965) and teen soap opera “Never Too Young” (in 1965). Tony continued working in television up until the late 90s and his net worth continued to grow, for example in 1975 he starred in the popular medical TV drama “General Hospital”.

While Tony Dow is mostly known as a television actor, he has appeared in a few films during his career, including the television horror film “Death Scream” in 1975, comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977, television comedy film “High School USA” in 1983, comedy “Back to the Beach” and comedy film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” in 2003.

Acting aside, Tony Dow is also known as a producer, director and visual effects specialist, especially in the science fiction genre, and these involvements have undoubtedly contributed to building up his net worth. Tony contributed to the visual effects of the 1996 season of the phenomenal British science fiction TV series “Doctor Who”, and a few episodes of the space opera TV series “Babylon 5”. He also directed an episode of the American science fiction TV series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in 1998.

Interestingly though, some people might also recognize Tony Dow as a sculptor who is well known for his brilliant abstract pieces depicting surreal figures.

In his personal life, Tony Dow has never been married and has no children. He is known to have suffered from depression during some periods of his life, which on a positive note has encouraged him to participate in self-help videos, including the production “Beating the Blues” (1998). However, the negative effect is that Tony hasn’t participated as an actor in any film since 2003.
