Dave Grayson (born 1939) played offensive and defensive halfback at the University of Oregon. He was drafted by the American Football League's Dallas Texans in 1961 and played four years with the Texans/Chiefs before joining the Oakland Raiders in 1965. Grayson held the AFL record for longest interception return for a td, 99 yds against the New York Titans in 1961. He had an interception off George Blanda in the Texans' classic 1962 double-overtime championship game victory over the defending AFL Champion Houston Oilers. Grayson was All-AFL in Dallas/Kansas City in 1962, 1963 and 1964, and in Oakland in 1965 and 1967, when he again played on an AFL Championship team. At Oakland in 1968, he led the American Football League with ten interceptions.
He is the all-time AFL leader in interceptions with 47, for a 20-yard return average and 5 tds, and he averaged 25.4 yards on 110 kickoff returns. He is a member of the American Football League All-Time Team and a member of the American Football League Hall of Fame.
DaveGrayson is the makeup man for one of television's most popular leading men-Bruce Willis, the hip-talking, wise-guy star of ABC's Moonlighting.
Makeup man DaveGrayson might have become involved in television much sooner if his main client John Wayne had accepted a TV role that was offered to him in the mid-fifties: Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke.
Given Grayson's backing in the movie business and the Moonlighting crew's movie mania and their affection for the classics of the medium, it seemed a natural combination.
