Joel Gretsch

Tall and chiseled actor Joel Gretsch began his acting career in late-'80s romantic melodramas like the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful and Family Album, the TV-movie adaptation of Danielle Steel's book. He followed this with several random television guest-star appearances and a role in the straight-to-video erotic thriller Kate's Addiction. His feature-film breakthrough came in 2000 with a small role in Robert Redford's golf drama The Legend of Baggar Vance. By 2002, he got small roles in Minority Report, The Emperor's Club, and Steven Spielberg's Sci Fi channel miniseries Taken. Gretsch has been married to William Shatner's daughter, Melanie, since 1999. - Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
