When he was 15, Duane became a member of an outlaw motorcycle club called Devils Disciples, and left home with them. When he was 23, he was sent to jail to serve five years after being convicted of first degree murder, however, he spent only a year and a half in Texas State Penitentiary, but during this time his wife La Fonda left him and married his friend. While in prison, Dakota stopped a person from escaping, and received ‘a congratulatory remark by a Corrections Officer’, which motivated him to become a bounty hunter.

He shot to fame after capturing Max Factor in Mexico on 18 June 2003 – Max was a rapist and a drug dealer who fled the US during his trial.

Duane was helped by his son Leland and their friend Tim, but the three, as well as Max Factor, were arrested by the Mexican authorities, because bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico. After being released on bail, Duane and the others escaped to the US where they were arrested by US Marshalls because the Mexican government had a warrant out for them, however, the US decided not to extradite them, and they were released on bail. On 30 August 2004, the first episode of Duane’s TV series “Dog the Bounty Hunter” was released, and the series ultimately counted eight seasons before it ended in 2012.

On 25 September 2012, his new show “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt” began airing, featuring the entire Chapman family, and it counted three seasons before ending in 2016.

Duane has married five times, four ending in divorce, firstly to La Fonda Sue Honeycutt from 1972 – ’77, then Anne M. Tegnell from 1979-’82, and the same year, he married Lyssa Rae Brittain who was the reason behind his divorce from Anne, but they divorced in 1991. His fourth wife was Tawney Marie from 1991 to 2002, while he married his (so far) last wife Beth Smith in 2006; she died in 2019.

Childhood and education

Aaron is quite secretive when it comes to his private matters and not a lot is known about his early life and education – he was raised alongside his twin brother and later his half-brothers, Elliot and Raphael, and half-sisters Helen and Diahnne.

Aaron’s parents split when he was only one year old, and in 1998 his father married Grace Hightower, an American actress, singer and philanthropist, but although they too split, in 1999, they didn’t divorce, and then renewed their vows in 2004 – it was reported in 2018 that Robert and Grace had split, but to date there’s no confirmation of a divorce. Before Aaron’s mother, Robert was married to the American actress and singer Diahnne Abbott, exchanging vows in 1976, but divorcing in 1988.

It is known that Aaron attended a local high school from which he matriculated in 2013, and it is believed that he hasn’t so far enrolled at college.

Aaron’s career

Aaron has been staying away from the media’s attention and not a lot is known regarding his career. He is not part of the film industry, although it’s believed that his father tried to help him work on his skills and win roles, but Aaron was uninterested. There are rumors circulating the internet that Aaron is not very close to his family, which is also why he has all but disappeared from view, especially of the media.

Love life and marriage

Aaron hasn’t talked about any women he might have dated which is why there are many people out there who believe him to be gay, however, nothing has been confirmed. There are some who have claimed to have seen Aaron holding hands with a mysterious woman in the streets of Los Angeles, but no evidence has been provided to support these claims.

As he hasn’t commented on the rumors surrounding his love life, as of November 2020, Aaron is apparently single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Age, height and net worth

Aaron’s age is 25. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, is 5ft 8ins (1.73m) tall and weighs around 150lbs (68kgs). As there is no information on his career, and therefore income, his net worth is unknown. However, as of November 2020, his father’s net worth has been variously estimated at amounts over a minimum of $300 million, of which Aaron may be a beneficiary.

Due to her heart condition, she lived a mostly strict lifestyle, with much of her food controlled while she wasn’t allowed to engage in physical activities as her heart was still developing. She grew close to her father during this time, who focused on teaching all his offspring correct speech, as it is a problem that he had to deal with all his life.

Education and Career

Sophia Rose did some physical activities with her father, but kept it toned down to avoid any unnecessary problems.

After matriculating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Southern California where she took up a degree in Art History, but later changed her mind and shifted to Communications with a minor in Entrepreneurship.

The Success of Sylvester Stallone

With his return to the US, Sylvester began taking more roles which would eventually lead him to envision film projects.He wrote and starred in the film “Rocky”, creating the role of the boxer Rocky Balboa which elevated him to stardom.

Actors

Sean Edward Hartman’s Wiki: Phil Hartman’s Son & Family

Published

on

Introduction

Sean Edward Harman is an actor and artist. He is also the son of the deceased Phil Hartman and Brynn Hartman, actually best known as a result of the tragic death of his parents, whereby his mother Brynn Hartman committed suicide shortly after murdering her husband. Sean was only nine at the time of this occurring, which therefore shaped his life.

Early Life

Sean Edward Hartman was born on the 17th June 1989 (age currently 31) in Sunset, Vancouver, British Colombia in Canada.

His zodiac sign is Gemini, and he now has joint American-Canadian nationality. He was raised in Los Angeles, California as it was close to the television production his father, Phil Hartman was working at and involved with.

Sean’s heritage from his father’s side is English, German and Irish. On his mother’s side it is more of a real mix – English, Scottish, French Canadian, Danish, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian and Mexican.

Phil Hartmann, Sean’s father, was a well known and loved Canadian screenwriter, graphic designer, actor and comedian, regularly appearing on the NBC comedy show “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), completing his eighth and final season on SNL in February 1998.

Advertisement

He was also a voiceover artist, best known for his work voicing many of “The Simpsons” characters, as well as being the voice for Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo.

Phil was married three times, first to Gretchen Lewis from 1970-1972, then Lisa Strain from 1982-1985, and shortly afterwards met his future third wife and Sean’s mother Brynn, an aspiring model on a blind date; they married in 1987. Sean has one younger sibling, Birgen Anika who was born in February 1992.  Both of Sean’s parents suffered from alcohol and substance abuse issues, as the impact of fame apparently effected both parents negatively. As a result of this, the early years of Sean’s childhood were not the most peaceful or stable.

On the 28th May 1998, the infamous suicide murder event took place that changed Sean and his sister’s life forever. After attending a restaurant in Los Angeles, Brynn Hartman shot Phil Hartmann three times whilst he was sleeping in bed. After admitting to a friend what she had done, she locked herself in the bathroom and shot herself in the head. This murder-suicide left Sean and his sister Birgen orphans; Sean was nine at the time, and his younger sister Birgen, six. They were both in the house whilst this happened, which was therefore obviously a deeply traumatic event for them both. Afterwards they were taken to a park by a family friend, who could tell they were in shock. They apparently announced their sadness that their mother ‘wouldn’t be able to take her to do all the fun things she’d promised’.

Much of Hollywood mourned the loss of Phil. In an attempt to remove the children from a media circus, they were sent to live in the Midwest with a maternal aunt, Katherine Wright and her husband Mike; the couple didn’t have children of their own. They took custody of the children, and raised them outside of Los Angeles, apparently with the children using a different last name during their childhood in order to “shield them from the media and allow them to grow up in relative obscurity”. First they lived in Eau Claire, a community in northern Wisconsin, and later in Edina, Minnesota. Later on, the children went to live with a paternal relative, their uncle and Phil’s brother John.

Early education, career, hobbies/interests

Once in school, it became clear that Sean was an artistic character just like his father had been before him.

He attended Edina High faculty for high school. During his time here he took part in artistic endeavours such as creating and illustrating the poster for the short film ‘Kimura’s Vengeance’. Sean had a clear passion for music from a young age, and was a member of several bands, one such being ‘Metamorphic Mexico’, of which there are black and white photos available.

After high school he attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design which he later graduated from, after which he interned at several artistic companies, pursuing his dream of staying within the artistic world.

Career

Sean is an actor, writer, a graphic art designer, a voice artist, artist and a comedian.

Advertisement

He has used his natural interest and passion with the arts to create a career that has expanded in different directions within the artistic realm. He has had various illustration and graphic design jobs, although none of them are well known to the public realm.

He is the keyboard player in the band ‘Moonstone Continuum’ which perform in the US. He is currently performing Stand Up Comedy with the Cleveland Comedy club as he can be seen promoting on his Instagram account. He is relatively active on Instagram, as @sean_hartman.

Sean currently resides in Oakland, California.

Partner

Sean is currently single, although he is very private about his personal life. He doesn’t comment on this, post about it, or make any public statements that could lead to further indications of his relationship status.

Other relationships

Sean is still close with his sister Birgen, after attending her marriage to Brandon in 2018. Birgen and Branden became engaged in 2015 and were married in 2018 in a beautiful ceremony in Italy. There are photos of this ceremony, which looked like a fairy tale occasion for Birgen. Sean remains a supportive and close brother to his sister and only sibling. Birgen continues to live outside of LA, stating that her love of nature compels her to lead a more rural lifestyle.

Birgen was featured in SNL’s 40th anniversary special show, reuniting with many of her father’s old friends; Sean wasn’t in attendance.

Unlike as children, today both proudly use their real last name ‘Hartman’.

Net Worth

Sean Edward Hartman’s current estimated net worth stands at $1 million. He and his sister were both left with an inheritance from their late parents, who had planned ahead in the event of their death, so left behind an estate of an estimated worth $1.23 million. This was to be awarded to the children in parts – 25% each after they attained a bachelor’s degree, and the other 25% each upon them turning 30.

Furthermore, sources suggest that Sean is currently making $150,000 to $200,000 yearly on an average salary through his various graphic design work and artistic endeavours.

Physical characteristics

Sean Edward Hartman is tall, with brown or black hair, and green eyes.
