Lebenslauf:

Bruce besuchte ursprünglich die Universität von Pennsylvania, wo er Kunst studierte, da er vorhatte, Maler zu werden. Als er aufs Geratewohl für ein Schulbühnenstück vorsprach, wurde ihm sofort klar, daß er lieber Schauspieler werden wollte.

Erstmals bekannt im Science-Fiction-Fandom wurde er in der 80er-Jahre-Kultserie V – Die außerirdischen Besucher kommen. Weltberühmtheit erlangte er spätestens seit seiner wiederkehrenden Rolle als „Senator Kelly“ in der X-Men-Filmreihe.

In seiner Freizeit fungiert Bruce als Sprecher für eine Vielzahl von Aids-Organisationen und ist in Hilfsorganisationen für mißbrauchte Kinder tätig. „Das Vatersein hat meine Aufmerksamkeit darauf gelenkt, wie wichtig es ist, im frühen Entwicklungsstadium seiner Kinder da zu sein. Ein kleines Kind zu haben ist zwar sehr anstrengend, aber dafür unendlich belohnend.“

Am 20. Mai 1972 heiratete er seine erste Frau, die Schauspielerin Jess Walton. Die Ehe wurde jedoch annuliert. Vom 04. Juli 1986 bis 12. April 2006 war er mit Lisa Pelikan (ebenfalls Schauspielerin) verheiratet. Aus dieser geschiedenen Ehe hat er ein Kind. Seit 30. April 2006 ist er mit Michele Corry verheiratet, mit der er ebenfalls ein Kind hat. Sie leben im Großgebiet Los Angeles.
