Lyle Waggoner Biography – Lyle Waggoner Wiki

Lyle Waggoner born Lyle Wesley Waggoner was an American actor and sculptor. He was best known for his work on “The Carol Burnett Show” from 1967 to 1974, and for his role as Steve Trevor on “Wonder Woman” from 1975 to 1979.

Lyle Wesley Waggoner was born in Kansas City, Kan., on April 13, 1935. He was a wrestler and a high jumper at Kirkwood High School in Kirkwood, Missouri. He briefly attended Washington University in St. Louis before enlisting in the U.S. Army and serving as a radio operator. After serving in the Army, he held a variety of odd jobs before starting his acting career.

Waggoner got his first screen role in the Western “Gunsmoke” in 1966. He made guest appearances in shows such as “Lost in Space,” “Marcus Welby, M.D.” and “The ABC Comedy Hour” before landing in the cast of “The Carol Burnett Show,” along with Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, and Vicki Lawrence. He later landed the role of Steve Trevor on the “Wonder Woman” television series starring Lynda Carter.

He made special appearances on a number of hit shows such as Happy Days, Fantasy Island, Charlie’s Angels, and Mork and Mindy. In 1990, he portrayed an exaggerated version of himself for an episode of The Golden Girls.

Waggoner is also considered Playgirl magazine’s first centerfold, posing semi-n*de in the adult magazine’s very first issue in 1973. The magazine called him “the stuff of which sexual fantasies are made, a 6-foot-4 hunk of gorgeous beefcake.”

In 1979, while working on Wonder Woman, he launched Star Waggons, a company that rents motor homes for film and television shows. In a 2013 interview with Los Angeles magazine, he said, “When I was on Wonder Woman, [the producers] gave me a very nice motor home they had rented from some private owner in the Valley. I said, ‘Well, if I had a motor home, would you rent it from me?’ I was always entrepreneurial-oriented, trying to find a business to get into. So I went out and bought a motor home and rented it to the production company for the three years that I was on that show.”

In February 2016, CNBC reported that Star Waggons had 800 trailers and posted annual revenue of $17 million. In 2017, Waggoner said that he supplied 30 trailers alone for ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.
