A Look Back At Jack Wagner’s Career

Can you believe that Jack Wagner is 64 years old now?  Wagner made his big acting debut on General Hospital back in 1984, and appeared as Frisco Jones up until 1991. 

He returned in the mid 90’s for several episodes.  Then in 2013 GH fans were thrilled when Jack Wagner made a surprise return, although it was very brief.

After Wagner’s stint on General Hospital, he went on to act in several popular TV shows over the years.  Santa Barbara (Warren Lockridge), Melrose Place (Peter Burns), Sunset Beach, Hot in Cleveland, CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful are just a few examples. 

Now, Jack Wagner is a part of the Hallmark Channel’s popular series When Calls The Heart and has been a member of the cast since the show debuted in 2014.

Jack Wagner – Talks General Hospital Days

Wagner took a walk down memory lane during his recent People Magazine Interview, “It was crazy, because back then, people would join fan clubs, and there would be bags and bags of fan letters,” he recalls.  

The frenzy proved a boon for Wagner’s budding music career with the performer going on to release six albums and a Top 10 single, “All I Need” (which he sang in character on General Hospital before it became a hit.) “I would sell out concerts in an hour or two,” he recalls.”

The When Calls The Heart star also opened up about the tragic passing of his son Harrison Wagner a few years ago, the 27 year old died unexpectedly from a drug overdose.
