However, he grew up in Oklahoma. His parents were Delmar Lloyd, who worked as a construction worker and Sadie Virginia, who was a homemaker. Busey graduated in 1962 from the Nathan Hale High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He did start out as a professional musician and was a talented drummer. He played in a couple of bands with a few legends such as Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, and Kris Kristofferson.</p> <h2>Career Accomplishments</h2> <p>Busey made his firm film appearance in a low-budget film called “Angels Hard as They Come” that came out in 1971. As the years went by Busey continued to land film roles. Usually starring as characters that were rebellious, country hicks or rednecks, or surly. Busey didn’t get his first real chance for fame until he played the lead role as Buddy Holly in the movie “The Buddy Holly Story” in 1978. Not only did Busey show off his talent for guitar, but also his singing vocals too. Due to his excellent performance, he received a Best Actor Nomination. This got the attention of Hollywood overcasting agents to pay attention to Busey. He did join up with a couple of younger actors Jan-Michael Vincent and William Katt. They played a group of friends who surfed and grew up together in the film “Big Wednesday” which aired in 1978. Unfortunately, Busey did go through a period where he appeared in mediocre films that took him away from the center stage for a few years.</p> <h2>Most Known For</h2> <p>Busey got to play a brutal assassin named Mr. Joshua in “Lethal Weapon” which came out in 1987. He was able to get stronger roles and played Danny Glover in “Predator 2” which came out in 1990. Busey also starred in another movie “Point Break” in 1991.

Personal Life Block
<p>The wife of Busey, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2159803/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Judy Helkenberg</a>, gave birth to their son William Jacob “Jake” Busey in 1971. When Jake was 19 years old, Judy and Busey divorced. Busey also has a daughter called Alectra who comes from a past relationship. Busey’s fiancée, Steffanie Sampson, gave birth to their son Luke Sampson Busey in February 2010. Busey suffered a severe motorcycle accident on December 4, 1988. He was not wearing a helmet at the time and suffered a fractured skull. There was a real fear that Busey could suffer permanent brain damage due to his injury. While filming <em>Celebrity Rehab </em>during its second season in 2008, Busey had been referred to the psychiatrist Dr. Charles Sophy. Sophy has suspicions the brain injury had a bigger effect on Busey than he first realized. Busey described it as his mental “filters” weakening. This caused him to act and speak impulsively. Sophy soon recommended Busey take some valproic acid to help, and Busey agreed. Busey announced to the public he was Christian in 1996 stating: "I am proud to tell Hollywood I am a Christian. For the first time, I am now free to be myself." In 1997, Busey kept having recurring nosebleeds. He had to undergo surgery and had a cancerous tumor the size of a golf ball removed from his sinus cavity. After the surgery, he had to undergo radiation therapy.</p>
