Heel on Wheels star Anson Mount and his family

If you have ever watched the show named Hall on Wheels (2011 – 2016), then you must be familiar with the recurring fictional character Cullen Bohannon. The role is played by none other than the remarkable Anson Mount. He is the teen actor from Crossroads (2002) also starring Britney Spears that won our hearts with his dreamy blue eyes and spiky hair. After the 2002 movie, he received a teen choice award for best chemistry with Spears.

Date of Birth: February 25, 1973

Zodiac Sign: Pisces

Anson Adam IV not only has the physique of a superstar but has the talents to match this profile. He is one actor that has been very dedicated to his work in times past and his good looks only come as a plus to his female fans. He majored in theatre and pursued stage work while acquiring his masters’ degree also in theatre arts. Mount is currently playing the role of Black Bolt on the new Marvel series Inhumans (2017).

Leaving every professional detail aside we would be taking a peek into the personal life of this very reserved actor starting with his birth family down to his non-existent marriage life.

Anson Adams Mount II (father)

Date of Birth: November 24, 1925

Date of Death: October 11, 1986 (aged 60)

Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

The Conviction (2006) actor was 13 when his father died and this loss made his mother hugely responsible for raising him. The late Anson was a long time sports editor at the Playboy magazine and was unfortunately never alive to witness his son’s fame. He was a veteran of WWII and Korean War.

Nancy Smith (nee League)  (mother)

Anson Mount's family - mother Nancy Smith

Year of Birth: 1946

She is a professional golfer and mother to the renowned Mount.  Nancy is originally from South Carolina but moved to North Port in 1993 with her second husband Ed. After being a widow, she became responsible for raising the Mount kids and she did a great job. According to Anson, watching his mother grow under the burden of a huge loss caused him to grow with a little more personality freedom. The Tully (2000) star also says his mother is one reason why he remains true to himself even with stardom.
