We all remember him – the long-haired, muscular-build Reno Raines from the cult TV series ‘Renegade’. He was everywhere but in prison – the place that he should have been at if the law enforcement did their job intelligently.
But where is Lorenzo Lamas now, twenty-one years after the last episode of the iconic crime-adventure series?
This is a trending question that often gets asked when it comes to the current activities of loved action stars from the 90’s such as Jet Li or Michael Dudikoff, for instance.
Speaking of Lorenzo Lamas, the other popular question that always gets raised is ‘how many wives did he have?’
I don’t know about that but it won’t be a surprise if it turns out that the answer is a three-figure number.
Everybody knows that the dude is a hardcore womanizer who had a turbulent life.
By the way, I bet you didn’t know that his son had a one-night stand with one of his ex-wives.
In fact, he describes it all in his recent autobiography ‘Renegade at Heart’, which is quite a page-turner.
Let’s not become a celebrity gossip website and cut to the chase, shall we?
Where is Lorenzo Lamas Now? – The Answer
Well, the truth is that the star from ‘Falcon Crest’ and ‘Renegade’ backed up a bit from the showbiz in the past few years.
Given the fact that he has been a constant tabloid fodder throughout his entire career, this is a justified decision.
However, he continues to appear in various TV productions and occasionally, in low-budget action movies.
Lately, he had a small role as the badass bartender Walker in the highly-entertaining actioner ‘Boone: The Bounty Hunter’ (2017).
The 60-years old actor continues to appear in direct-to-video flicks such as ‘Secrets of Deception’ (2016) with Tom Sizemore, the sci-fi thriller ‘Unwritten’ (2017), and ‘Bordercross’ (2017) in which he stars along with his current wife Shawna Craig.
Among his upcoming film projects are small roles in the drama ‘Driver’ (2018) and in the horror-thriller ‘Bleach’ (2018) starring Tara Reid and Eric Roberts.
So the good thing is that Lorenzo’s love for participating in badass actioners is still alive.
In 2015, the actor was part of the reality show ‘The Celebrity Apprentice’.
Originally hosted by Donald Trump, the TV format gathers various stars from the show business that compete to win a financial prize for a charity organization.
Now, hold on because there is a shocker in the next few sentences.
In 2016, Lorenzo Lamas started working as a full-time helicopter tour pilot for the company HeliNY.
He gives tours of New York and he also flies passengers from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon.
Regularly, that includes giving two-hour picnics and spending time with the tourists.
According to the former Hollywood hotshot, this job is like a well-paid hobby because it fulfills his love for flying choppers.
In some of his action movies from the 90’s Lorenzo can often be seen piloting a helicopter in some intense scene.
In his spare time, the actor develops his passion for motorbikes, designing motorcycles.
A few years ago, he created the brand ‘Lorenzo Cycles’ with the help of the famous designer Eddie Trotta.
Lamas seems to have found happiness with his fifth wife, the 30-years younger than him actress Shawna Craig.
He currently resides in New York city.
Conclusion
No matter what he does, Lorenzo Lamas will always be remembered with his cult action movies from the 90’s and also with his fine roles in remarkable TV shows as ‘Renegade’, ‘ and ‘Falcon Crest’.
For the latter, he even received a Soap Opera Nomination Award.
‘Bad Blood’, a.k.a. ‘Viper’ (1994), ‘CIA Code Name: Alexa’ (1992), and ‘Gladiator Cop’ (1995) are only some of the action flicks in which Lorenzo showcases his impressive martial arts skills.
Always being a hard-worker, the actor devotes his time to his family and flying career without neglecting his filming activities.
Now, at 60, with five marriages behind his back, six children, two bankruptcies and more than one hundred acting credits, Lorenzo Lamas remains one of the most successful action figures of the 90’s.
