Jim Metzler on AllMovie

Jim Metzler has appeared on stage since the 1970s, and in films from 1981's Four Friends. Bright, handsome and possessed of above-average talent, Metzler has proven a valuable asset to such so-so films as 976 Evil (1988) and Circuitry Man (1990). The actor has been offered better opportunities on TV; he was top billed as Dr. Andy Fenton in the 1983 series Cutter to Houston, and was seen as science teacher Dan Braden in the 1985 weekly The Best Times. Jim Metzler also co-starred as James Huntoon on the hit 1985 miniseries North and South and its 1986 sequel.
