Brolin joined the groundbreaking ABC medical drama in 1969 as young physician Dr. Steven Kiley, starring opposite Robert Young for all eight seasons of the series. The role transformed his career almost overnight. After years of guest appearances on shows like Batman, The Virginian and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Marcus Welby, M.D. made him a household name and launched him into leading-man status throughout the 1970s.
Looking back more than 50 years later, Brolin admitted the recognition still feels surreal.
Even after taking home television's highest honor, he said he remained his own toughest critic.
The momentum from Marcus Welby opened the door to a string of memorable film roles, including Skyjacked, Westworld, Capricorn One and The Amityville Horror, before Brolin returned to television to headline the hit ABC drama Hotel in the 1980s. Over the decades, he's continued working steadily in projects ranging from The West Wing and Life in Pieces to narrating Netflix's Sweet Tooth and most recently appearing in Netflix's Ransom Canyon.
"I'm not really good at doing the same show over and over again," he said. "There's nothing better to me than getting a plane ticket somewhere and going to work with people you've never met before, weaving it all together and hoping it turns out."
"Every day working on set has been the best day of my life, except for my wedding and the birth of my children. I just love working in this business," said the actor.
