Wolf shares his daughter and sons Miller William, 12, and Jackson, 15, with his longtime wife Kelley. Back in January, the actor joked that since he's been starring as a doctor on his TV series Doc, he's been offering his family unwarranted medical advice — and his wife cannot handle it. Wolf appeared on the Jan. 6th episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, where he shared that his offer to help was rejected after his family had 'been stricken by […] some kind of virus.' 'My daughter has it the worst. My wife has it now,' said Wolf. 'There's some mysterious symptoms. There's some weird things. And I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.' 'A lot,' said Mark Consuelos, referring to Wolf's past roles as medical professionals on Everwood and The Night Shift. 'You are basically a doctor at this point,' Kelly Ripa added. 'I'm kind of a doctor! So last night I was talking to my wife — and my daughter's miserable, my wife's kind of miserable — and I'm like, 'Listen honey, I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV,' ' Wolf said, adding that 'she hung up the phone. She hung up.' In 2024, the Nancy Drew star shared a sweet message to his longtime wife on Instagram to celebrate being married for 20 years. "20 years ago today, we began our wedded journey together. 20 years later, with our three beautiful children, several generations of fur babies, and what feels like a lifetime of adventures and experiences together, I love you now more than ever," he wrote in the caption. The post featured four photos of the couple. The first showed the pair posing similarly, except one was captured more recently, and the other is a black-and-white image from the past. The last two photos were from their wedding day. "As blessed as we have been and are, we have surely been tested these last few years. You continue to be the force of light and love and life that makes it all make sense," added Wolf. "You are the rock of our family, and even when pushed beyond what sometimes even feels possible, you have always found a way to hold on to who you truly are, and who and what you love the most."

(Photo by Gilbert Flores/Variety via Getty Images) Netflix has announced a third season renewal for its coming-of-age scripted drama My Life with the Walter Boys ahead of its second season. Best described as Party of Five meets Virgin River and based on the book by Ali Novak, the series follows recently orphaned Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), a teenage girl from New York City who relocates to rural Colorado after she is taken in by the Walters, a family with nine boys and one girl. It premiered in December 2023. The soapy scoop: As Jackie gets acclimated to her new picturesque environment riddled with teen melodrama, she becomes romantically involved with two Walter sons, Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry). At the end of season one, Jackie heads back to New York, leaving her relationship status unresolved. Inspired by the success of Virgin River, which recently began filming season seven, My Life with the Walter Boys will return for the 10-episode season two later this year. Both My Life with the Walter Boys and Virgin River do not have confirmed return dates at press time. The cast also includes Sarah Rafferty Rafferty and Marc Blucas as parents Katherine and George Walter, along with Connor Stanhope (Danny Walter), Johnny Link (Will Walter), Corey Fogelmanis (Nathan Walter) and Jaylan Evans (Skylar Summerhill). Season two will feature new recurring cast members Natalie Sharp, Carson MacCormac, Janet Kidder, Riele Downs, and Jake Manley.

Cult 90s classic Varsity Blues cast now from cancer battle to tragic death
Varsity Blues was a huge hit when it was released in 1999, and over the years its cast have gone on to star in some of the biggest films and TV shows in Hollywood - but what are they up to now? It's always a delightful surprise when you're watching an older film and spot a now-famous actor in their early career. This is certainly the case with the 1999 coming-of-age sports drama Varsity Blues, which boasts a cast that includes several actors who later shot to stardom. In the 26 years since the film's release, its stars have gone on to feature in one of the most successful action franchises of the past two decades, clinch Oscars, and become household names. However, it hasn't all been Hollywood glamour, as the cast has also had to grapple with cancer, career stagnation, and multiple tragic deaths. Here's a look at what the cast are up to today, courtesy of Screen Rant. James Van Der Beek - Jonathan 'Mox' Moxon Perhaps best recognised for his lead role in the teen drama Dawson's Creek, James portrayed quarterback Mox in Varsity Blues.

Now aged 48, he was married to Party of Five actress Heather McComb from 2003 until 2010. He tied the knot with Kimberly Brook the same year, and the couple have six children together. In November last year, James revealed that he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in August 2023.

There's a reason for optimism, and I'm feeling good". Paul Walker - Lance Harbor Best known for his role as Brian O'Connor in the Fast and Furious series, Paul Walker also played team captain Lance in Varsity Blues. His filmography includes appearances in She's All That, Joy Ride, and Flags of our Fathers. Tragically, Paul passed away in a car accident in November 2013 at the age of 40. At the time, the seventh instalment of the Fast and Furious franchise was in production; the crash did not occur on set. The film was completed posthumously, with the ending reworked to provide closure for Brian's character, culminating in a touching homage to Paul. He is survived by his daughter Meadow, who is now 26 years old.

John Light's journey from Hollywood marriage to key role in BBC's Father Brown
John Light's journey from Hollywood marriage to key role in BBC's Father Brown John Light has played Flambeau in Father Brown since 2013 The 13th season of Father Brown is currently in production, following the conclusion of the latest series on the BBC earlier this year. The show continues to grow in popularity, boasting a large international fanbase as well as a dedicated British audience. The BBC drama is inspired by G. K. Chesterton's character of the same name and follows a Catholic priest solving mysteries in a charming Cotswolds parish. However, the BBC adaptation only loosely follows the original Father Brown stories, moving the setting from an early 20th century Essex parish to the fictional Cotswolds village of Kembleford in post-war 1950s Britain. Article continues below Despite significant changes, the character of thief M. Hercule Flambeau has been included in the TV adaptation. In the original stories, Flambeau is a reformed criminal who aids Father Brown in his investigations. British actor John Light plays the thief in the TV series, assisting the Catholic priest with some of his cases, reports Gloucestershire Live. Flambeau has been a guest star in Father Brown since season 1 (Image: BBC ) Father Brown star John Light's offscreen life Fans are eager to learn more about Light's life off-screen. The actor was previously married to Hollywood star Neve Campbell, known for her roles in Scream and Party of Five. The couple reportedly met in 2001 while working on the independent film Investigating Sex. They later became engaged, with Light reportedly proposing to Campbell by reciting Shakespeare, according to People. Flambeau is straight from the Father Brown short stories (Image: BBC ) Light and Campbell exchanged their vows back in 2007 during a charming ceremony in Malibu, Los Angeles, as reported by the Daily Mail. The couple set up home together in Islington, north London. Unfortunately, their marriage came to an end in 2010 after the actress sought a divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences". Prior to Light, Campbell was married to Canadian actor Jeff Colt from 1995 until 1998. Neve Campbell and John Light were previously married (Image: GETTY ) Father Brown star John Light's special role in BBC series In BBC's Father Brown, John Light shines in his special guest role as the enigmatic Flambeau. The character of Flambeau graces the series sporadically, with Light showcasing his talent in one episode each season. Flambeau was first introduced in the seminal Chesterton short story The Blue Cross, which was adapted for television by the BBC with the character appearing in season one's 10th episode. The appearance served to solidify Flambeau's significance within the show's narrative. Notably, in the ninth season, Flambeau had the unusual distinction of featuring in both episodes nine and 10. Most recently, season 12 brought us Light in The Cup of Calabria, where Flambeau embarks on a covert operation connected to the Vatican. Article continues below Fans of the cunning character can anticipate Flambeau's return in the forthcoming season 13. Mark Williams, who stars as the eponymous Father Brown, has been vocal in his appreciation for Light's portrayal, stating: "I love the Flambeau episodes, it feels like we are in a 1950s thriller and John Light plays him to the hilt." Father Brown season 12 is streaming on BBC iPlayer now

Actress Lacey Chabert revealed that the final scene of the teen family drama Party of Five was a deeply emotional experience for the cast. She recalled that she and her on-screen siblings all "burst into tears" after the director called cut on the show's last scene, reported People. "I thought it was a nice way to end the show and I remember we did that take and they call, like, 'That's a wrap', and we just all burst into tears and we hugged and we cried and we stayed there for a long time because it was really hard to say goodbye in that way," she said. The show, which aired on Fox from 1994 to 2000, follows the five Salinger children after their parents are unexpectedly killed in a car crash leaving the eldest brother Charlie (Matthew Fox) to become a de facto parent to three teenagers played by Scott Wolf, Neve Campbell and Chabert and a baby. Chabert shared working experience with Wolf in the 2023 Hallmark Channel holiday movie A Merry Scottish Christmas, in which they played estranged siblings who head to Scotland to celebrate the holidays with their mother. "We had the best time," she told the audience, adding that it was "wild" to be working together again. "It's like, it had been 30 years, I think, since Party of Fiv e premiered, and it was our first moment on set together. It felt like no time had passed." She continued: "You know, when you spend six years of your life with a group of people, they become family, and so, you know, we all keep in touch and they just mean so much to me. So to have that chance [to work with Wolf again] — that full circle moment." "We were both there with our families, and our daughters were playing together, and it was just really surreal and sweet that we had the chance to be together again," she added.
