Wings Hauser married his young music and filmmaking partner, actress/filmmaker Cali Lili Hauser on June 12, 2012. Having often been compared to Richard Widmark for some of his "mean" roles, he has played a variety of equally remarkable roles in films and on TV. After a high-school career centered in sports (his name "Wings" is taken from the wing-back position he played in football), he chose to lean toward the arts - acting and music (including an album of his original music for RCA) - instead of pursuing professional sports. Having descended from an artistic and talented family, this choice was a heartfelt one. Wings is the son of writer/producer/actor Dwight Hauser, who worked on (amongst many other projects) the classic "Whistler" radio series. Son of the beautiful Geraldine Hauser, (who was the daughter of author Tom Thienes - "Whimseys" and others). He raised a child as a single father, having arrived in Hollywood "with thirty dollars and a box of pampers" - and actually earned his career accomplishments with hard work and dedication. Father of actor Cole Hauser. Show less «

[on playing "Ramrod" the pimp in Vice Squad (1982)] It's interesting about that role. I didn't prepare a damn for it. I was doing the soap opera The Young and the Restless (1973) and dying to get out of it; I'd been on it for about three and a half years. We were shooting it during the day and all night long I would do "Vice Squad." I was so tired I didn't have any social graces at all, so I just let go. Show less «

I'm from California, not New York. California actors are more geared to entertain. There's nothing worse than boring the audience. The New York actors I've worked with are very realistic, but reality can be boring. I like to put a little turbo power into my performance. Show less «

I just like putting new skin on and going in and doing some new character. My problem is that I've never been able to find the top to go over. There's a lot of room up there. Show less «
