Biography
The onetime manager of a skeet- and trap-shooting club, prematurely silver-haired leading man Steve Kanaly has thrived primarily in rugged, outdoorsy action roles. The veteran of dozens of theatrical and made-for-TV westerns, Kanaly has also been seen in
Dillinger (1973, as Pretty Boy Floyd), Spielberg's
The Sugarland Express (1974) and
John Milius'
Wind and the Lion (1975). From 1978 through 1991, Kanaly played South Fork ranch foreman Ray Krebbs in the prime time TV serial
Dallas. Two years after
Dallas' demise, Steve Kanaly resurfaced on another televised chapter play: the odd, African-based syndicated soap opera Okavango: The Wild Frontier. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
