Steve Kanaly

Steve Kanaly—yeah, that guy—was born smack in the middle of Burbank, California, back on March 14, 1946. The dude’s got some Hollywood in his blood, no question. Most folks probably remember him from “Dallas”—that classic TV soap that basically defined shoulder pads and drama for a decade. But Kanaly wasn’t just some TV cowboy; he had his hands in movies like “Dillinger” and “Il mio nome è Nessuno” in ‘73, so he’s actually got a pretty legit repertoire. He’s not just about the camera either—he’s tried his luck behind it, dabbling in directing here and there, which is always a gutsy move (not every actor wants to sit in the big chair, but hey, Kanaly went for it). On the personal side? He locked things down with Brent Power way back in ‘75, which, let’s be real, is practically a miracle in Hollywood years. They’ve managed to keep it together and even have two kids—pretty wholesome, honestly, considering all the glitz and chaos around them. Kanaly’s career is one of those you glance at and go, “Oh, right, I know that guy”—he pops up in places you’d forgotten about, but there’s always this familiar vibe. He’s never been the tabloid headline guy, just steady, reliable, and kind of flying under the radar. All in all, he’s carved out a solid path—for someone from Burbank, he’s done alright.
