Maxwell Caulfield, best known for his breakout role in the cult classic musical sequel Grease 2, was recently spotted in Ojai, California, picking up dog food in his vintage GMC El Camino. The 65-year-old actor, who has enjoyed a long and varied career, looked relaxed and casual, a far cry from his clean-cut, teen heartthrob image of the 1980s. Soaking up the late-summer sun, Caulfield’s appearance reminded fans that he has gracefully embraced life beyond Hollywood’s spotlight.

Born in Derbyshire, England, Caulfield began his career in theater before moving to the United States to perform in New York’s Off-Broadway scene. His British charm and striking looks helped him land the lead role of Michael Carrington in Grease 2, starring opposite Michelle Pfeiffer. Although the film did not achieve the commercial success of the original, Caulfield’s undeniable chemistry with Pfeiffer and his captivating performance helped the movie earn its cult classic status.

Following Grease 2, Caulfield became a familiar face on television, most notably for his role as Miles Colby on the hit 1980s soap opera Dynasty. Playing the sensitive and charming son of a billionaire, Caulfield captivated audiences with his character’s dramatic love affairs and scheming ways. He later reprised the role in the spin-off series The Colbys, solidifying his place in prime-time drama history.

In addition to his film and television work, Caulfield cemented his cult status with the 1995 film Empire Records, portraying the arrogant pop star Rex Manning in the movie’s memorable “Rex Manning Day” scene. He later returned to his theater roots, starring in prominent productions on London’s West End and Broadway, including one of his standout roles as the lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago, showcasing his continued versatility as a performer.

On the personal front, Caulfield has been happily married to actress Juliet Mills since 1980. Despite nearly a 20-year age difference, their marriage has remained strong for over four decades. In a recent interview, Caulfield joked that Mills keeps him feeling young, describing their union as a “spooky reverse process,” proving that both his personal and professional life remain full of charm and vitality.
