Biography

Michael C. Gwynne is an actor and drummer who began in radio. Born in 1942, the son of the band leader Frankie Kaye, he worked as a Top-40 disc jockey in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Honolulu under such names as Lee Vaunce and Mike Sheppard, and while at KPOI in Honolulu he set a Guinness record for nonstop drumming at a 1965 Drum-A-Thon, later sitting in with R&B bands.

That was followed by Payday (1973) with Rip Torn, his break into features, and by the television show Par for the Course, in which he played a psychiatrist opposite Roy Thinnes and Clu Gulager.
