Wayne Grace

I met Wayne Grace in the drama group at Mt San Antonio College in 1961. We tried out and received parts in Heaven Can Wait. It was his first major acting experience to my knowledge . He landed a major part as did I. We kept in contact for about a year afterward and went our separate ways to college. After that , I was thrilled to see him in his major film and tv roles . I recall even back then how the drama instructor at Mt Sac remarked about Wayne indeed having the acting. Wayne very...

Wayne, we used to get together a couple times a week, have coffee and spend hours in conversation. He was, above all, a man of deep faith in Jesus. He like to emphasize the resurrection of Jesus because that was the most important element of faith to him. We collaborated on a song, "He Rose". That was his message and his passion. I've no doubt that Wayne is in fellowship with his risen Saviour.

I knew Wayne more than 50 years ago, when he worked one summer at the Old Globe Theater. He was kind, funny, and just so nice. I´m so, so sorry for the loss of this wonderful man.

I hope it´s not inappropriate for me to post here. I purchased a copy of Mr. Grace´s personal script for Far and Away (I´m a huge fan of the film). This photo was taken on August 12th. As it happens, I received the script just one day before he passed away. I only just tonight learned of his passing. I´d like to express my sincere condolences to the family. This script will always be treasured so long as it remains in my care, and I hope this cosmic coincidence gives his friends and...

Wayne took me under his wing when I was starting out in the theater department at San Francisco State, along with several of his fellow actors. He was the "Big Deal" at that place and was a kind friend and mentor. Always solid with advice and humor.....and I was so proud to see him in later years film work. The last time I saw him was at my apartment in Hollywood, 1980-ish, with some other SF State actor pals. He was the kind of person who could see you and left you feeling understood. ...

I was Wayne Grace´s Manager for 25 years. From Klingons to Cowboys and everything in between, there were not many roles that Wayne could not play. He worked with some of the best directors in Hollywood. David Lynch, Walter Hill, Ron Howard, Clive Barker, Ivan Reitman and Kevin Costner to name a few. A great actor and good friend.
