Whatever happened to Ken Wahl?

Question

I am watching "Taking of beverly Hills"

and he did a great role as the football player who must take back BH froma bunch of x cops and others out to rob the city.

It looks like he dropped out of Hollywood 11 years ago, but not anything on him since.

Answer 1

From imdb:


Unfortunately, Wahl was involved in a terrible accident in 1992 with near life threatening neck injuries and for many years battled several addictions in an attempt to ease the chronic pain. Thankfully, he overcame these demons and presently he is managing his pain with professional medical assistance and sharing his life with his third wife, Shane Barbi, plus his four children Louie, Raymond, Cody & Kyra. One can only hope that one day we see this exciting, passionate and sensitive actor back in front of the cameras.

Answer 3

hmmm...the story i heard is that he was in some kind of an accident--i have no details on that--and that he has not fully recovered either from the accident itself or the pain medication he now needs to survive.

i liked "Beverly Hills" too. neat little actioner.

if you can, try and catch some of his Wiseguy TV shows. there was one ongoing plotline that had him, Kevin Spacey and Joan Severance playing together. now THAT was some good television.

Answer 4

I saw he quite recently in a movie. He looked a lot older and has gotten really fat. They say he is suffering from a disease. That's all I have.
