Ted Nugent
Ted Nugent
A native of Detroit, Michigan, hard rock legend Ted Nugent enjoyed both success and tremendous controversy from the late 1960s into the early years of the 21st century - success given his chart-topping sales and rabid audience following with such bands as The Amboy Dukes and Damn Yankees (in addition to repeated triumphs as a solo performer), controversy given his unabashed ultra-right-wing political stance, including pro-gun beliefs and a love of hunting animals. Despite this controversy, Nugent nevertheless clung tightly to a "clean" lifestyle that demonstrated a repeated opposition to recreational controlled substances. Alongside his music career, Nugent expanded into a surprisingly diverse number of business interests that included producing and selling his own beef jerky, penning columns for a number of magazines, and hosting a Detroit-area radio show. Cinematically speaking, the majority of Nugent's appearances consisted of performance-oriented footage, but he did sign for very infrequent acting roles, including a turn as a Hot Seat Band Member in 1989's A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, and a more substantial role as a reckless, bow-and-arrow wielding lawman in the blue-collar comedy-adventure Beer for My Horses (2008). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
