Jack Wagner’s Bio (Age)
Jack Wagner was born in Washington, Missouri on October 3, 1959. His father, Peter Wagner, was a cars salesman and his mother, Scotty Wagner was a homemaker. His birth name is Peter John Wagner. At a very young age, Wagner showed himself to be quite adept in sports, showing great promise in golf and was eventually taken by the Missouri Junior Championship by the time he got to high school.
He was raised as part of a Catholic background. Wagner attended St. Gertrude’s parochial school but was later on moved to St. Francis Borgia Regional High School. While he was at St. Gertrude, he was mainly active in drama as he appeared in several plays, at St. Francis, however, sports were his main attraction. By the time he graduated from High School, Wagner continued to pursue acting at the University of Missouri.
His time at Missouri was short-lived as he left after a year to pursue an athletic scholarship at the University of Arizona. While at the University, he could not make the cut despite putting in his best performances. However, he would later take part in an audition by the University’s theater department after which he received $3000. He later would graduate in 1982 with a degree in Drama.
When he was done with college, he left for Los Angeles to carve a career for himself. Not long after arriving, he landed his first role in Clint Masterson’s soap A New Day in Eden. Unfortunately, however, the show turned out to be short-lived and Wagner was without any on-screen commitments for a year. Wagner had his big break in 1983 when he landed the role of Frisco Jones in the popular daytime soap opera, General Hospital. The role of Frisco Jones seemed to play into the hands of Wagner as the character was to be a rock musician, that meant scenes with a guitar and Wagner had always had a gift for music from an early age.
On the show, Wagner was able to perform his first hit “All I Need”, which turned out to be a success. He soon met legendary producer, Quincy Jones who helped him record his first album. Wagner also won recognition for his role in the soap with a nomination for a Daytime Emmy Award for ‘Best Younger Actor’ in 1985. His career in music has not waned in the years that have followed as he has recorded five more albums.

In 1988, Wagner had a one-night stand with a woman and probably thought that was it – a simple fling. He would later be called by the same woman, who told him she had given birth to his daughter. She did not feel she was in the position to take care of the child so she took the tough decision of putting the little one up for adoption. Jack tried to get his child back but he couldn’t.
