Ken Wahl's Wikipedia

Ken is Italian and German isn't he? His salsiccia/Schlange is so desired that he was fucking both Barbi Twins at the same time. He married one and had the other as his side piece.

Why didn't he marry both?

Bette, on Jinxed and Ken Wahl.

I remember when Wiseguy was hot here in Europe Wahl was invited to visit. He came with some buddies of his and kept drinking and acting like an asshole the whole trip. I sort of lost all my interest in him then. But he was so hot in Wiseguy. The first season's homoerotic friendship with that mob dude was unbelievable. "Nights in white satin, never reaching the end..."

If they know that's his real (Calzaretta) can't they verify his birth date? Birth records are public, right?

He had one nice, big fucking ass and a big, ever-present VPL in tight jeans on WG. I remember being a young kid with mouth-agape at this hot, sweaty scene where he fucks Patti D'Arbanville.

He seems like a Tea Party nut.

Hot to death on Wiseguy.

I remember him wearing sweats on WG, he looked pretty hung and back then he was hawt

...except that she says absolutely nothing about Ken Wahl in that clip, r3...

He hasn't been hot in 15 years. It's the booze and coke.

I first discovered him exactly 20 years ago, when my mom's boyfriend (now husband) dropped off a bunch of old VHS tapes and in it was the movie THE WANDERERS. He really was sex on a stick!

Chris Noth once had a similar appeal.

Can't find a photo taken of him in the last 20 years or so. He's like Howard Hughes.

He sure was hot in "Jinxed!", though.

Homophobic and racist POS.

I was (am) obsessed with him, so I did a deep dive into his background. The Anthony Calzaretta thing is completely made up. His parents are Raymond Wahl and Nancy Halper. They were married in Chicago on 14 Nov 1956. I still haven't found his real birth date, he has used many different ones. He also managed to stay out of all his high school yearbooks, the best I can tell. The Wahls are German and the Halpers were from Orallas, Hungary, which is now in Austria.

R16 Wow- good job! That's the best post I've seen on DL in about 5 years, lol! What is the deal with the secrecy? Was his family in Witness Protection? I wonder if he's got any Italian blood on his mom or dad's maternal side of the family? Calzaretti may be a grandmother's maiden name.

R6 R9 R12 I've only seen The Wanderers on fuzzy VHS, and I've wondered if you can actually see Ken's dick more clearly (or, at all) on the blu-ray, in that final bridge shot after the gang leaves them there with the rocks ties to their dicks.

The Barbie sisters are fucking crazy and deathly eating disordered. How sick if he sleeps with both of them.

R18 The twins are kinda creepy, but I don't think he sleeps with both of them. He's married to Shane and they renewed their vows several years ago.

I hear he weighs over 300 lbs now, so you won't be seeing any photos of him anytime soon.

I was about to say he was hot until he got fat, which happened while he was still on WG

Here's my collection of Ken Wahl caps - hope you enjoy (dat ass!).

I’m glad he doesn’t have the usual cube-shaped man’s ass.

R16 On Twitter, he said his "mama is Italian..." and that he got a lot of kraut-wop jokes growing up.

FWIW.

Looks like a fag to me.

R25 Wishful thinking?

No, if the bitch is fat. And 60.

His maternal grandparents were Leopold Halper (born in Hungary, now Austria) and Grace Ellen Yaeger (born in Illinois, parents born in Illinois). Yaeger doesn't sound very Italian, so I think he's making up the "I'm Italian" stuff. He has mentioned his grandmother Grace before.

R28 No...Yaeger is definitely NOT Italian. ;-) Maybe there are some Nazis on mom's side of the family that he's trying to bury, lol. Otherwise, I don't know why he'd LIE to try to keep up the Vincenzo Terranova facade when he hasn't played the role in 25 years? WEIRD.

I have it on VERY good authority that the wife runs all his social media accts now, which explains why his posts have changed in the past several years. He got into a Twitter fight with Rosie O'Donnell about Bette Midler a while ago, and Rosie called him an asshole. Maybe the wife didn't like him getting involved in all that stuff and the put the kibosh on him posting himself. Or--he's started drinking heavily again and is too blotto to tweet. Hope not.

But the wife...she's a control-freak, I'm convinced.

On Twitter, he's said that both the birthdates on Wiki are wrong. He also says he went to 5 different high schools in 3 years, in 4 different states.

R16 Ken is divorced from Shane Barbi, and is now married to his grade-school sweetheart and mother of his 26-year old daughter, born out of wedlock.

Sweet story, really.

That's the main reason he rarely posts on social media anymore.

If his daughter is 26 then he was almost certainly with Shane Barbi when he knocked his "grade school sweetheart" up. Yes, such a sweet story.

[quote]He got into a Twitter fight with Rosie O'Donnell about Bette Midler a while ago, and Rosie called him an asshole.

I don't know why people on DL hate Rosie because I freakin' LOVE HER.

Nothing a worse than someone changing his name to hide his ethnicity. He and Tony Bennett. Sellouts.

R32 He wasn't married to Shane Barbi at that point. I don't even think they were dating yet.

R34 His father is German. How did he change his name to hide his ethnicity?

R35, he says he met Shane Barbi in 1996.

I can't find anything online about the 26yo daughter or the new wife, or even a divorce from Shane. But he was married to his second wife from 1993 to 1997, and then married third wife Shane in 1997, so there's no area in that time frame where he's single. He was married to someone else when he knocked this current wife up.

R37 That 2nd "wife" (93-97) that is often reported is incorrect. Someone even asked him about it on Twitter once.

When Wahl was at his low point from drugs and alcohol his Penthouse Pet of the Year wife robbed him blind. After that divorce he got with Barbi and she got him clean.

R39 He was robbed blind by the first wife. But Shane Barbi didn't "get him clean". He was still drinking according to the 2004 Entertainment Weekly interview.

Shane Barbi is no prize. She's a nut-job who prevented him from taking jobs and communicating with his friends and family.

R37 I can't say who, but one of the four people I mentioned in R31 told me directly about the divorce, the new marriage and the daughter.

I'll leave it up to you to speculate who it was. Personally, I think it's wonderful that he's now married to the mother of his child.

He was dating Lisa Melilli in 1994. Took her to a movie premiere.

Having read several of Wahl's tweets and his website's extensive biography, I'm having a lot of trouble believing everything he's said. He doesn't seem to have the firmest grasp on the truth. There's also the fact that there's no public information about his alleged divorce.

r38, are you the one in the other thread who said they didn't believe the Bette Midler quote about Wahl saying stuff about "f*ggots" etc?

R43 Well, I'll give you a hint...it wasn't Ken who told me about the divorce, so that leaves three. R41 R31

And no, I've never posted anything about Bette.

R43 Ken has a website?!

The archived website that's used as a source in the Wikipedia article. I didn't clarify that earlier because this thread is called "Ken Wahl's Wikipedia" and guess I thought it was self-explanatory.

There's a long PDF biography from his old website that's linked in the section on Wikipedia that details his personal life.

Is it true that Ken used to sell custom-made American flags on his website after 9/11?

R43 It's not that he doesn't have a firm grasp on the truth, it's just that Ken is infamously private, and had admitted to making up stories (fake birthdates, etc.) to deflect attention from his personal life.

R46 I didn't know he was on The Tonight Show-- I wish I could see that interview.
