Ken Wahl is award-winning actor, most known for his Golden Globe starring role in the ground-breaking, critically acclaimed, CBS crime drama
Wiseguy (1987). He entered acting without experience or aspirations. In 1979, Ken was set to be a walk-on in director
Philip Kaufman's movie
The Wanderers (1979), and Kaufman spotted a talent and cast him in the lead role. Several TV and movie roles followed, including a co-starring role with
Paul Newman in
Fort Apache the Bronx (1981). Never fond of fame or the spotlight, Wahl responded with a cringe to a "US Magazine" cover story calling him "Sexiest Man on TV". He was forced to retire in 1996 due to disability caused by a broken neck and severe spinal column injury suffered in 1992.
Ken was married to Corinne Alphen-Wahl (1983-1991). Ken is currently married to Shane Barbi (1997-). He now helps veterans suffering with PTSD with shelter pets for therapy.
