Ken Wahl

Anytime we can publish a photo of Wiseguy heartthrob Ken Wahl we jump at the chance! And this time it’s for a patriotic reason and not just our own satisfaction. You may remember, a painful back injury forced Ken to retire from acting and he credits a pet kitten for pulling him out of a long term depression. Ken is actively involved in pairing up veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder with pets. Many damaged veterans end up suicidal and Ken feels that pairing them with rescued service animals can save and repair lives. He’s become an official spokesperson for the cause and we’re happy to present his point of view on Memorial Day!

"Wiseguy" Ken Wahl Stephen J Cannell Thanks for the Memories

KEN WAHL HAS FOND MEMORIES OF “WISEGUY” PRODUCER STEPHEN CANNELL

Writer/producer Stephen J Cannell (it rhymes with channel) died Thursday and we were reminded that he produced one of our all-time favorite TV series “Wiseguy.” Some people assume that “Wiseguy” star Ken Wahl left the show on bad terms, but actually he and Stephen remained friends. (In fact, a few years back when Ken had physical and financial problems, Stephen kindly offered to help out.) During production they had their differences of opinion, but Ken told me Stephen was always a decent, reasonable, down to earth guy. He appreciated creativity in others and never tried to intimidate his actors like some producers do. Stephen wore jeans instead of a shirt and tie. Ken Wahl has good memories of “Wiseguy,” and knows Stephen played a part in getting him a Golden Globe and several Emmy nominations for the show.

Animal Rights Animals Ken Wahl Shane Barbi

KEN WAHL THINKS THE PUNISHMENT SHOULD FIT THE CRIME

We’ve been fans of Ken Wahl since “The Wanderers.” His back injury and retirement from acting was a great loss (he was the Rob Pattinson of the late 80’s early 90’s.) But at least he’s not wasting his time. Nowadays Ken and his wife, pinup girl Shane Barbi, are animal activists and they foster homeless pets. Not long ago, a cat named Timothy was found glued to a Minnesota highway. The cat was rescued but eventually died. Ken was SO outraged when he heard the story that he reportedly picked up his Golden Globe (he won it for “Wiseguy”) and said he’d like to use it to beat the guy who committed that loathsome crime. Now he’s decided to DONATE the Globe toward the $10,000 reward being offered for this animal abuser. Unfortunately, the crime is only a misdemeanor in Minnesota. The long term motive of Ken and Shane is to improve animal protection laws and make sure these sicko abusers are slapped with criminal records.

Corrine Alphen Crimes and Misdemeaners Ken Wahl Lawsuit Money Shane Barbi

WISEGUY KEN WAHL IS ACCUSING HIS EXWIFE CORRINE OF PILFERING HIS MONEY – TO FEED HER PLASTIC SURGERY ADDICTION?

Heart throb Ken Wahl, who pretty much retired from acting after a serious spinal injury in the early 90’s, has finally figured out where all his money went. Not only did he file suit against his business manager Henry Levine, but he has accused his exwife Corrine Alphen of conniving with Levine to steal millions of dollars of his money. Wahl, currently married to Shane Barbi, believes Corinne filtered money in and out of a trust fund he set up for their son Raymond. Acquaintances of Corrine aren’t surprised. They say the naturally beautiful Penthouse Pet became addicted to expensive plastic surgery. Besides having yearly liposuction, she redid her face, lips, breasts, and augmented her butt and calves! THAT’S what Corrine’s used Ken’s money for! Now Corrine charges a dollar a minute for her Tarot reading service online. (Above, Ken and Corrine, in happier days)
