comments: Vincent Van Patten was a real blond babe in his day. The 70's were good to Vincent, as he played the hot blond hunk. With three attempts at TV series that fizzled, Vincent fell into the trash teen flick scene (i.e. Hell Night). He was great as the dopey blond stud in Rock 'n' Roll High School though. Vincent left acting to become a good pro tennis player, and rose to number 41 in world rankings. He's back in acting, trying to break back in as a dashing leading man. He did a small stint as the late Stephanie's boyfriend on "Baywatch" last year; other than that we're pretty sure the boy's been working. Currently: he's landed a role on the soap "The Young and the Restless". Yeah Vincent!
