  1. Ken was a veteran of the Koran conflict where he was a radio announcer for the US Armed Services. In Ken's later years he continued in both movies and television as an "extra". He was regularly seen on TV in Dynasty, Dallas and Knots Landing and in the movie Jumping Jack Flash just to name a few. During his career Ken also did many TV commercials.
    Ken married late in life, late 1980's, to Phyllis Shaw Moreno and they lived in La Costa, Carlsbad, CA until 1995 when he moved to Del Webb's Sun City in Palm Desert.
    In Ken's last years he suffered with Alzheimer disease until he pasted away in 2015.

  5. Too bad he had such a brief career. He was a James Dean lookalike. He did a good job starring in Lost, Lonely, and Vicious. I guess for every Paul Newman or Steve McQueen, there are ten thousand qualified actors who somehow never made it.
