He went on to star in a number of popular TV shows, including Fantasy Island, The Love Boat and Hotel, before being cast as Lance in Falcon Crest.

Married five times, and blessed with six children, Lamas published his autobiography Renegade at Heart in 2014. Aside from acting, writing and singing, the charming Lamas has worked as a commercial helicopter and airline pilot. A true humanitarian, he often makes volunteer trips taking disadvantaged kids to summer camps and flies for Angel Flight, a charity who fly people too ill or financially challenged to use domestic flights.
