Vince Van Patten,

like Dean Paul Martin, came from a show business family -- Dad was Dick Van Patten of "Eight Is Enough" fame -- and was a bit of a Renaissance man. After becoming a teen idol with roles on "Bonanza," "Medical Center, "Adam-12," "The Courtship of Eddie's Father," "Wonder Woman" and "Apple's Way," ABC tried to turn him into "The Bionic Boy," an attempted spin-off of "The Six Million Dollar Man." (It didn't get picked up.) Shortly thereafter, he turned pro on men's professional tennis circuit, reaching a career-high of 26 in 1982.  (He's a pro poker player these days.)
