Morning Men Classics: Men of “Knots Landing”
Ted Shackelford played Gary for the entire 14 year run of Knots Landing and he was my absolute favorite of the men on a show that was really about the amazing women portrayed by Michelle Lee, Joan Van Ark, and Donna Mills.
But there were plenty of other hunky men on the Knots including a rising star by the name of Alec Baldwin who played Joshua Rush during the 1984-85 season and who fell to his death after being yelled off a rooftop by his mother played by the great Julie Harris.
Other very attractive guys on the show during stretches of its long run included Kevin Dobson (Mack MacKenzie), William Devane (Greg Sumner), James Houghton (Kenny Ward), Pat Petersen (Michael Fairgate), and Doug Sheehan (Ben Gibson).

I worked on the very Last ‘Love Boat,’ a TV movie called ‘A Valentine Voyage’ that Ted was in. Nice guy. It was his birthday during the shoot–two 10-day, back-to-back Caribbean Cruises!–and during dinner, the entire dining room sang ‘Oklahoma’ to him!
I also got to work out in the ship’s gym with him!
Good times, my years in The Biz!
