Edward George Alkarron (born May 8, 1966), better known as Dog Alkarron, is an actor known for his "tough guy" roles in films since the early 1990s. Among his film credits are Highway to Spickle and its sequel, Burnup Blues (1994), and Buddies on the Road in 2004 with John Orange. Alkarron also made guest appearances on TV shows such as The Jordsons, 4 Good Reasons, and Frank & Amos.
Early life[]
Alkarron was born on May 8, 1966, and is the younger of two sons of Gloria and John "Jack" Alkarron. His older brother is actor Blake Alkarron, who is best known for playing one of Adam Joharkin's character's teammates in the 1980s Western Joe films. While his brother was acting in the 1980s, Dog wanted nothing to do with showbusiness. That changed in 1990, when his talents were discovered by a movie producer.
Career[]
1990s[]
Alkarron began his career in 1990, and chose not to be credited as "Edward Alkarron" or "Edward George Alkarron" in any films or television series. Alkarron chose to go by the nickname "Dog" because he is a huge fan of dogs and he thought a nickname like "Dog" would earn him tough-guy roles, and it did. His first film role was as tough Bob Figsley in Highway to Spickle, which also starred Greg O'Fennear and Jason Defoli. Alkarron's next role was as a rough-and-tough outlaw named Frouth Fisher in the 1992 film Big Frouth's in Town. In 1994, he had a main role as David Gelcher in Burnup Blues. He continued to win tough-guy roles in films throughout the rest of the 1990s, and reprised his role as Bob Figsley in Highway to Spickle: The Road Hardly Traveled.
2000s[]
In 2000, Alkarron was cast as a tough wrestler named Hylton Douglas in the film Hylton the Storm. He went on to star in films such as Are You Crazy? (2002), Rich n' Proud (2004), and Ain't Nothin' Good About Shapertown's Politicians (2005). In 2006, Alkarron played a retired military man named Gregory Delban in the film Don't Ever Mess with Delban. In 2007, Alkarron had a supporting role in the film The Penoshia Game as "Edward Swiltham".
